Somewhere out there an electric fan is missing its finger guard as well!

There is a store near me that offers video transfers of 8mm film (You know: before it "disintegrates"). They have a Keystone 8mm machine sitting in the window with a pair of Super-8 reels dangling loosely on the spindles. When I walk past I think how sad it is it will never project a film again.

-almost calls for some sort of rescue mission!

This is what a projector would look like if they every managed to cross an 8mm projector with a Kodak Carousel [Wink]

I believe the top is part of the cooling system for the HTI conversion.

I think the idea could catch on! This has inspired me to work on my own design.

Hi Dan,
I think the translation of bauer is 'farmer' so it's possibly a colander,

Maybe it's from the impressionistic period. It's certainly not renaissance. [Razz]
