Hello All,

My name is Terry. I am from Kalamazoo, Michigan. I am just getting back into real film after not doing anything for about 25 years. We cleaned out our farmhouse after my grandmother died and I inherited all our "old" equipment. Fact is it probably would have been thrown out. But I saved everything because if you have ever fallen asleep to the sound of a projector or similar "sounds" you know what I am talking about. That is a short introduction [more at a later date and time].
-- I have a Sankyo 762 2-track sound projector and I cannot do anything with it until I get a power chord. It was bought probably around 1977-78 because 1978 was the first year I went to Canada fishing [at 12 years old]. Any help or leads would be most welcome. I can trade or pay cash.
I have two Instruction Manuals if anybody would like one. This is my first post so I do not know if you can send private messages but if so, and you need the manual, send me your address in a PM and I will send it to you. I have that "itch" to watch our fishing movies and family reunion videos and cannot scratch it until I get a power chord. Thank you. Since I have to go through the photo-upload process I will wait and learn that process on another post. The chord is female, two-holed, and the holes are round [instead of flat].

Welcome Terry! I have found that some models of Kodak slide projectors used the same 2-prong cord as the Sankyo. I have bought these compatible cords from Ebay to fit my Sankyos that didn't come with a cord. Some are a little short...but you can always use an extension cord.

Thank you Janice. I tried our DVD player chord, which has the same pattern but the holes are spread a bit wider.

I just ordered a chord from E-bay for a Kodak Carousel. Hopefully it is the right one. It was cheap so no problem if it is not.
--- I just noticed that I posted this in the films category and not equipment. If a moderator wants to move it for me that would be fine.

I just got my chord today. It does not work. So a chord from a Kodak Carousel does not work on a Sankyo 762.

I haven't this specific model but I believe that these range of projectors were sold (at least in Europe) with the "standard" cord. Could you post a picture ?

This an example choosen for the picture but it is overpriced :

Sorry the cord didn't work for you Terrance. However... you can try and manipulate the socket holes to make them widder or closer together and sometimes slightly bending the prongs helps. There are different plugs being sold on ebay so I agree it's difficult to know which one is selling the correct size plug. I guess it's possible that Sankyo would design a different plug for the 762...but my guess it's only fractionally different.

I went to a local mom & pop camera shop and he found a chord that worked. Cost? nothing, he gave it to me.
The chord that I got off the internet might actually work if I stick something in the female ends and "spread" them out a bit because they are split or notched so I think they will spread out some.
IN any case, I can now watch hours of Canadian fishing movies. Time to break out the popcorn. [Big Grin]
Also, we discussed a way to film the film with sound. All I need is a plate of glass and a mirror because you can't just film your film because of what he called a "Keystone effect". But in any case it will cost less than $100 bucks.

Terrance, this would not be cheap, especially ith the shipping costs (except if you find the same service in the US), but for your information, you can have a soundtrack added on your films and then record sound with a mike plugged on your projector. The German company I put a link to does it with a minumum of 60 mt(200ft).

Correct, if you have polyester home movie, you have to send them to Andec (also in Germany) http://www.andecfilm.de/en/e_start.htm

Main stripe Track 1 only btw, pasted of course.

Funny isn't it Kodak banned themselves from using these substances for "environmental reasons" in 97 or whenever it was, yet they are still in use today some 20 years later. Convenient eh!! [Wink]

Terrance as I said above...I have bought the Kodak compatible cords several times on Ebay... and yes some fit better than others, but they can be made to work.

Glad you found a cord for free...That's even better! [Smile]

Enjoy your films!

Just for general information, I have several Thrift Stores near me. They all have numerous cords for sale for only a couple of bucks. If you need a cord, try a Thrift Store if one is nearby.
