sorry the other post was added before I finished

A while back I got a hold of a 16mm projector for cheap and was looking for test film to run through it.
Through Winbert's generosity I got a film which turned out to be an important piece of Ontario history. More info here

Naturally this would not be a good test film and I found the projector had a hairline fracture in the worm gear.
Well to make a long story short - worm gear was patched with magic sculpt (worked really well) and test film became available to make sure projector was up to snuff.

After much cleaning and testing I projected the film last night - brought back memories of seeing this as a kid in school.

The film itself still had vibrant colors and looked fantastic. Unfortunatly it did have some emulsion scratches in the last third of the film.

Anyway took a few shots with my digital camera - they do not do it justice.
Cheers
Terry

Way Cool!

They should make a film like this for New York.

They could call it

"Youse talkin' ta me?"

All I ask is a wide screen and a projector to light her by...

Hi Terry,

Nice to hear you can finally see that Ontario's film.

Show it as many as to Ontarian to bring back their memory. I want that film to be useful rather than with me.

cheers,

winbert
