A working projector.

After struggling with the Ektasound deck, I am now the proud owner of a beautifully working Bell & Howell Filmosonic. Great!

Strangely, it is the same model I had tried and was frustrated by about 10 years ago! The former was a Sears version and always mangled film when loading- I have since learned that by using a better trim on the leader it feeds with no problems.

Thanks again to all who offered support/advice on the previous projector.

As always if anyone has tips or advice for this model, let me know. This forum is a pleasure to be a part of and read.

hi Chad, the B&H Filmosonic I bought new in 1975 sometimes scratched film. Be sure to keep that film path clean before and after each film you run [Smile]
