I want the person who made this video and all those that commented how much I appreciate this. I have very fond memories of watching 8mm films with my family because my daddy-o absolutely loved documenting everything. When my parents went home I became the proud owner of not only this exact projector, but the screen, the original camera and 12 tins of movies, but I don't remember what happened to the 4 lamp attachment, most of which have little pieces of paper inside with dates and descriptions of what is on each film but sadly there are some that don't have the paper. One year for my mama-mia's 70th surprise birthday party, which coincidently I am now at that age, I had some of the films transferred to dvd and showed it at her party but now I can't remember which reels the company used so this will be an experiment in fun. I have told myself for so many years that someday I will bring everything to my apartment and watch them and this Christmas holiday season is that day. Previously to all of this, I took a shot in the dark and did a search on how to put the film on the prjector, as I am old and tired and don't remember how do that, and lo and behold I found one, and now thanks to this video today I am watching it for the first time, I have everything set up and I will now enjoy the old time movies with the clickclickclick sound which will bring me right back to my childhood so thank you so very much for this video...MERRY CHRISTMAS, OR WHATEVER HOLIDAY YOU ALL CELEBRATE, AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR...
I have the same model projector what memories. Mine still works takes 1000w bulb. I brought castle films to play on this when I was a kid. loves the sub titles they had Before video film. Kids today would not appreciate this Good job on your video
We have this same projector and just found some old family movies. However when we turn it on it make a very loud sound. The reels move and everything. Could you tell me how to remove the knob so we can open it up and take a look at the belts. You make it look so easy and I have been unable to do it.
Ron White Sorry I really don’t have a clue in fact my projector broke last year so I wouldn’t even be able to even figure it out at this point because I don’t even know where it is anymore so but maybe someone else can help you sorry about that.
The answer is no. Super 8 is a different format introduced in 1965 by Kodak. Super 8 has the sprockets lined up, and spaced differently than Regular 8mm which this Revere projector plays. A Regular 8mm projector would chew up a Super 8 film and vice versa. Also besides having the sprocket holes spaced differently a Super 8 image is 50% wider than Regular 8. The Super 8 format gave a higher resolution, and wider image on screen. However Regular 8mm is still a good format. Both formats are of the same width however. You can still buy Super 8 movie film from Kodak and shoot home movies. The latest film is Ektachrome 100D and has amazing colors, and is very sharp when shot with a good vintage camera.

No worries. You video helped us out a lot. Dig lIfe!
Everything seems to work on mine, but the lower spindle barely moves 😢 Is that a belt issue?
I followed the steps in the video, but for some reason the film isn't turning. Any ideas?
Kaylee Smith hmmm. Are the spindles able to turn manually? I don’t really know.
Check the film. Are the spindle holes in tact?
@@programmingchicago this video is 8 years old and you still reply to comments from this year. Lol you’re the best :) 👍
Will this project Super 8 reels as well?
William Rudberg I really don't know.
