It’s a good thing the projector has a built-in fan to keep that old monster of a bulb cooled down.Ī couple cool things about cellphone chargers: they usually take in 110-120VAC and put out 3-5VDC (perfect for this LED) and they use ( ), which makes them really small and light. Regardless of the voltage applied, this thing generates enough heat to burn itself out. You might notice that this LED comes attached to it’s own heat sink. So, in my attempt to keep film alive, I bought ( ) from Jameco Electronics and opened up an old cellphone charger. You can find them for sale, but they are pretty damn expensive and in very limited supply. What’s worse is that nobody makes these bulbs any more.
Unfortunately, these old projectors use incandescent bulbs that get *really* hot and occasionally explode. It’s like being an auto mechanic, but instead of just fixing cars, you’re presenting a work of art.Īnd, yes. Learning to switch reels is a dance considerably more athletic than learning a new UI. If the film gets jammed it will burn a hole in the frame. But film is simple and almost primordial. LCD screens and even CRTs are fucking cool. It is literally one image coming right after another. I find it somewhat comforting that my brain is being tricked by having successive images reflected into my eyes at 16 frames per second and *that’s it*. I don’t think there’s anything “magical” about watching something on real film. It plays both 8mm *and* super 8 film! If you don’t know the difference, I invite you to skim through ( ) One of my better finds was this 8mm-super 8 projector. I had some fun one Halloween showing a bunch of horror shorts to some friends. I bought a few cameras and some films off of Ebay. It started with a $25 8mm projector from a flea market and grew into a small of obsession from there. By small-format, I mean 8mm, Super 8, and 16mm movie film. Its advanced design (pocket size), its exclusive automatic film-threading sprocket, five speeds (including slow motion), precision construction, and many other proven features make Revere the outstanding value of 8mm movie cameras.One of my other hobbies is small-format film. “The Revere takes the clearest and steadiest home movies you have ever seen. Revere made 8mm (Revere 85) and 16mm Projectors and Cameras (Revere 44/88), as well as a 16mm sound Projector (S-16). Samuel Briskin was diagnosed with inoperable cancer in 1960 and rather than leave the company to his family he decided to sell the company to 3M for $17 million (equivalent to $149 million in 2020). The standard package came with a table mount and a system for duplicating objects, adaptable to the Dremel without modification. All the tools that attached to it via the chuck can be used with today's Dremel models. The Revere-O-Matic was a 0.55 ampere model that operated at 15,000 r.p.m. Revere, starting probably in the 1950s, produced a fairly high quality rotary tool similar to the Dremel tools now on the market. That side of the business never became an important part of the company's output. Revere started manufacturing tape recorders in the early 1950s. The Revere brand name had become synonymous with budget cameras soon after the take-over Wollensak models appeared that were mechanically almost-identical to the standard Revere models but had better lenses, more stylish casing, and sold for a premium price. In order to grow that business further the company took over their primary lens and shutter supplier, New Jersey-based Wollensak Optical Co. In the 1950s, the company was the second largest manufacturer of small movie cameras in the United States. Cullerton St., Chicago, Illinois – and operated machinery on four of the building's eight floors. In November 1952, Revere purchased the nearby Atwell Building – also designed by Alfred S. The Revere name is taken from the Revere Copper Company, which provided financial backing for Excel during the depression. That company was later merged into Excel Auto Radiator Co., which then changed its name to Revere Camera Co. They started making budget 8 mm movie cameras in 1939 through a subsidiary run by Briskin's sons, such as the Revere 88 Movie Camera and the Revere 85 8mm Projector. Alschuler, the manufacturing facility was located at 320 E. Founded in 1920 in Chicago, Illinois, as the Excel Auto Radiator Company by Ukrainian immigrant Samuel Briskin to manufacture car radiators, but started manufacturing some coarse household products later in the decade.īuilt for Excel – and designed by Alfred S.
