I can't thank you enough for this video! I've had this projector since the 70s bought it brand new in the store. The belt fell apart literally to mush and there was no pathway for me to see how it went. I got a new replacement, and the instructions said just follow the old pathway. I thought well that's not going to work, it's disintegrated. This video saved my projector. thank YOU so much!
A couple of things to say. That belt is INSANE!! (Nice job fixing it.). I have never seen FF or REW on a projector that works mid film, Did'nt know it could even be done. And as far as I can tell all sound projectors have recording ability.
very impressive! That is something I would loved to have had, back in the day. My Grandmother, occasionally used to play piano accompaniments to our old super_eight home movies, which was fun and all, but voiceovers were never an option until we had them converted to digital. I'd managed to capture some of her piano pieces on a portable cassette recorder, when I was a boy, and used that as my soundtrack. I made a DVD copy for my parents, and gave it to them a few Christmases ago. It doesn't have the same feeling as threading up our old Bell & Howell, but at least I don't have to repair those brittle old splices anymore! :) Your right, by the way, ours couldn't fast forward and rewind, mid film, like yours, and you had to round off those corners, or they'd snag. Thanks for this little blast from the past, btw. Exceptional video as always! 😊
Just bought one of these! Thank u for the info. U should definetly break down How u fixed that belt. Went kinda fast for Its importance. I Bet many threw that beauty away not knowing
Great video and I totally sympathize with your belt issue. However, I think you came up with a great solution. Hardware stores have lots of hidden treasures! Some of those large O rings make good tape recorder belts! Now I have some questions: 1) Does this thing have a capstan? How do they keep the motion smooth enough (low wow and flutter) for music recording? 2) The machine is relatively loud but I did not hear the machine noise on your voice over. Can you talk more about how they managed that? Thanks for the very interesting video!
I'm drooling. The Old Film Company sell belts :-) The power cable is called a kettle cable. You haven't seen inside my Yelco LSP-510 It seems they didn't want people changing belts looking at the design. I can record sound on my projector too, never done it. I didn't know you could still buy sound film. :-) Your projector is the best! :-D
HELP! I recently got one of these and the large belt was 'melted' so I bought one on ebay. I am having a very difficult time understanding how to thread this close-loop belt (made in one piece) in the configuration described and shown so well in your video. Do you know if a 'close-loop' belt can be threaded properly or will I have to 'piece' one together to make it work, such as you did? It's s real 'Rubik's cube' at this point....;)
you Did a really good V.O [ Voice-Over ] with the music. I felt like I was listening to a professional trailer for a movie :) I would love to do V.O work and Characterizations also. Film projectors have come a long way. I remember the projectors in the 60's / 70's. if the film was paused too long or stuck in the gate, you would have a nice melting Image on the screen due to the heat of the projector bulb.
So I actually found a company who has the replacement belts for this projector. However, I can't figure out how to get the old belt off without cutting it and likewise inserting the new belt. I certainly don't want to start taking a bunch of things apart. Any suggestions?
My CanoSound PS-1000 has stopped playing sound of the movies. I can hear the speaker noise and set the volume up and down but it doesn't play sound pf the films. Do you have any idea? What do i need to check? Thank you in advance
O meu projetor e o Sankio dualux 2000, infelizmente não chega nem aos pés deste sofisticado aparelho, vou ter que passar os filmes na tela e gravar com celular mesmo com pouca luz, parabéns ao dono por saber e ter condições de comprá-lo.
Had one like this one, never worked as it should, wouldn't keep the correct speed between sound head and film gate, so film would build up in between the two drives. So far, the only Canon gear which has let me down. After this, no more family movies from that time (1978) onwards.
Very cool! Maybe the "PS" stood for "Picture Sound"? I can't find any reference to what it actually stood for either, this item was first sold in 1977 for $269USD and was paired with the top of the line movie camera by Canon, the "CanoSound 514XL-S" which sold for $339USD, or if you wanted to slum, then you could pair it with the low end model "CanoSound 312XL-S" which sold for $289USD. I did find a website that appears to have parts for this device, including belts, you may have seen it yourself ( I'm not associated with this site at all, just located it): goo.gl/mPXzbC .
Don't ever ever pause film otherwise you will burn the film and your movie will be irreparably destroyed so don't ever do it as that actually happened to me and the movie "Modern Times starring Charlie Chaplin" which was totally destroyed and had to be binned and I never used the projector ever again.

Thank you so much for demonstrating the workings of that insane belt.
THANK YOU so much for this video! I could not repair my PS-1000 without it!
Great dramatic voice, it actually synced well with the music.
A couple of things to say. That belt is INSANE!! (Nice job fixing it.). I have never seen FF or REW on a projector that works mid film, Did'nt know it could even be done. And as far as I can tell all sound projectors have recording ability.
That´s amazing. A real cinema production!!!!

does the film have be develop to record music in the film?
Nice video ! Love to have your voice welcome my friends when they come watch movies with us.
This thing makes a awesome retro sound
Just bought one of these! Thank u for the info. U should definetly break down How u fixed that belt. Went kinda fast for Its importance. I Bet many threw that beauty away not knowing
Thanks! This helped to repair mine. I ordered 3mm rubber band from ebay , it worked perfectly!
It did make you sound pretty intense not going to lie.
Thank you very much, congratulations from Brazil
Tamo junto!
Years ago, I remember seeing a (I think Super 8) camera that also did sound.
I love the auto load and cannot believe you can rewind FF film. The sound quality is great, without recapping the whole thing.

Do you know how to replace other belts (there is 5 belts in Canon PS100 Conosound) ?
you Did a really good V.O [ Voice-Over ] with the music. I felt like I was listening to a professional trailer for a movie :) I would love to do V.O work and Characterizations also.

Thanks for the compliments!
databits That could be mitigated with an LED projector bulb...
wery good
Is there a diagram for Belt replacement?
Thanks
I was wondering if the projector is able for 8mm films, and not only for Super 8, thanks
bel video, molto bravo complimenti!
grazie
So I actually found a company who has the replacement belts for this projector. However, I can't figure out how to get the old belt off without cutting it and likewise inserting the new belt. I certainly don't want to start taking a bunch of things apart. Any suggestions?
Well....that's a great question. In my case, I pieced it together from several belts. Might check with an online projector forum.
I figured it out and replaced it, but now it won't move - almost like it's too tight - arghhhh!
...and the bulb went out, but I found one and its being shipped to me.
@@barszman hy. I have one If these. Did u finaly fix the belt?... How did u insert It without cutting it out?
I was wondering what you used for making the new belts. I have one of these machines and the belt is stretched. Thanks!
I patched several belts together from large washers I found at Lowe's.
Looking at all the yellow tabs would be cool under a strobe light.. :-P
Really impressive machine! I think I'd like to have one of my own! On a side note, do you know anyplace online to find replacement projector lamps?
Other than eBay or Amazon, possibly B&H photo.
databits Thanks for the reply!
Have you chequed the CKlimpetts from Twing Twang?
yelloew colored [poppets work for more then 0003.50 minutes ... then it gpoes kaputski again
does this play regular 8mm?
My CanoSound PS-1000 has stopped playing sound of the movies. I can hear the speaker noise and set the volume up and down but it doesn't play sound pf the films. Do you have any idea? What do i need to check? Thank you in advance
Im having the samee trouble w my Chinon SP 330...
O meu projetor e o Sankio dualux 2000, infelizmente não chega nem aos pés deste sofisticado aparelho, vou ter que passar os filmes na tela e gravar com celular mesmo com pouca luz, parabéns ao dono por saber e ter condições de comprá-lo.
So those blank films have two magnetic stripes on both sides, huh?
Yes indeed.
i'm sad that you recorded audio and it wasn't your dads band. i did however enjoy the modern smartphone having more hiccups than the projector.
Yes, the thing went into sleep mode before I could press play!!
haha great !!!
cool

THE PERSON WHO CAN SHOW A DETAILED VIDEO INSTRUCTION ON HOW TO CHANGE THE BELTS ON THIS COMPLICATED MESS WILL BECOME RICH!!!!
Word
PS is for projector with sound
PS: Thank you!
that's a pretty cool but projector
i never have seen a projector belt configured that way that is stupid one big belt not several small belts
Very cool! Maybe the "PS" stood for "Picture Sound"? I can't find any reference to what it actually stood for either, this item was first sold in 1977 for $269USD and was paired with the top of the line movie camera by Canon, the "CanoSound 514XL-S" which sold for $339USD, or if you wanted to slum, then you could pair it with the low end model "CanoSound 312XL-S" which sold for $289USD.

Who designed that weird belt system? Should be sentenced to death of course. ;)
Crazy belt routing indeed!!!
Death is a bit harsh. I would recommend some time out.
+databits Then let's make it life imprisonment instead. LOL
maybe 30 lashes with a wet noodle.:LOL

DAVID GREGORY KERR Unless you replace the bulb with an LED one, as LED bulbs are brighter & don't emit even nearly as much heat.
عندي نفسا للبيع
