I remember a friend had a similar machine made in the 1960's. We thought it was so cool. Her mom would make popcorn, and we'd pretend we were in a theatre. You brought back a happy memory. Thank you.

That's not true, cuz they made those shorts in the beginning of the 1920s.

[@satwolf]

​@kalynmiller558 Both toons are from '50. You can check it with a short research on Google.

[@1943L]

When I was little we had no electricity but my cousin did and had a similar little projector. I am impressed with your finishing techniques.

[@TheFabrik]

Thanks a lot, glad to bring the memories back 😌🙌

[@donaldwycoff4154]

I'm almost speechless, but not enough to forget saying THANKYOU for this. Brought back a lot of memories. You did a wonderful restore. I said to my wife, while watching you do the restore, "He should digitize the movie footage." And you did.

[@TheFabrik]

Hey thank you so much 🙏 Glad you appreciated it 😌🙌

[@brucemitchell5637]

I always find it amazing just how much mechanical engineering went into a lot of these simple children's toys!

[@paulvozman842]

Hi, you perform these restorations of old technology using modern materials creating a perfect working item . The result is this old projector will last for years. Thanks for another great video. Cheers, Paul.🎥🎞👍👍🙏

[@vbrigham]

How many kids got those and had their friends sleep over to watch cartoons? There was no better fun then that! That's an experience kids now days will ever know. They have to much now days to appreciate the simple things that use to bring us joy.

[@okamijubei]

It was the time before Streams, before DVDs, before VHS and before betamax.

[@Damien.D]

Beautiful object.I'm impressed by how they managed to do complicated things with just bent metal sheets. The paints you use are incredible, especially the chrome effect!

[@TheFabrik]

Thanks a lot Damien, I love that chrome effect ;) I’m not sure Wamoo sold a lot of these projectors… such a thin metal sheet. Not easy to make it work properly, I broke the films many times, too old probably. Thanks to the editing you don’t see it but I had to restart the projector every time I broke the film frame🤬😅

[@Damien.D]

@@TheFabrik yeah this fims tends to become brittle with time and I see nothing wrong at all with the mechanism. That's why for preserving old movies, they are scanned frame by frame, not projected. This projector should work with any 8mm film, the reels are even standard ones!

[@Радий-р1ч]

Как же приятно видеть, как этот проектор заработал после восстановления. И замечательный звук ❤. Однозначно, дети в те времена были бы в восторге, если бы им такую игрушку подарили!

[@TheFabrik]

Thank you !

[@glentucker4250]

You do such a great job at fixing, restoring and many times improving these toys. The wonderful thing is that not only were they saved but they’ll be around for a long time. Thank you!

[@TheFabrik]

Thank you very much, glad you enjoyed it 😌🙏

[@jean-lucjla2987]

Incroyable, le film de plus de 70 ans, ne s'est pas cassé !

[@TheFabrik]

En fait si… cassé plusieurs fois. J’ai adapté le montage en découpant mais ça a été une vraie galère 😓 Le dernier film « Donald cinéaste » se cassait instantanément à chaque tour de manivelle je n’ai pas pu le montrer

[@irukafx]

@@TheFabrik Hello ! très belle restauration ! Par contre je ne comprends pas comment ton câble en 220v peut alimenter ton ampoule 12V sans tout exploser ? '^_^

[@jean-lucjla2987]

Il existe des ampoules fonctionnant en 220v avec ce type de pas de vis. Par contre en regardant la vidéo, le restaurateur a apposé des autocollants, la marque ET aussi la tension de fonctionnement en 110v. Sinon très beau boulot

[@Takumaterasu]

Since I've been watching restoration videos, this is the first time I've wanted an object so much !!!

Very Amazing 👏😋

[@montefullmer2091]

I have the same Donald Duck cartoon .. only in color ... on standard 8mm as with this one ... This was an excellent video of the restoration of this children's projector . My late friend would have love to seen this video .. he was an avid Disney 8mm film collector ..

omg, i absolutely adore this device. 10 year old me would have been in love with that thing.

[@Balthazare69]

Omg, I love both cartoons, especially first one with a pie 😊😊😊

[@Jumpboots_Jamstrang]

This is a pretty remarkable toy for the time! I would have loved one of these as a kid!

[@lesimages3dclic]

Oh Gee! I think I have something similar (Except the one I have has been made for North America or maybe adapted by someone, I'm not sure). It was given to me by one of my deceased uncles as written in his last will two decades ago. The toy projector is still in a cardboard box for many years and I've never been able to make it work. Because it's some kind of family heirloom to me, I never threw it away.

[@Ragnar8504]

This one says 110 V, which is close enough to US 120 to be interchangeable. Besides, the only thing you'd need to change would be the light bulb.

[@Omegajunior2658]

Wow you did a great job for restoring the projector 📽. Greetings from Ireland 🇮🇪

The restoration is fantastic! I like the powder coatings you us and I was impressed to see the chrome finish was so bright. I was not sure if the films would work but they have certainly held up after all these years. Thanks for sharing this, it was neat to see this come back to life.

[@TheFabrik]

Thank you !! The films were too old. I don’t show it but I broke them several times at the end 😓

Great job yes, but the colour choice is awful! It just looks rusty again! It looked like it might have been a light blue or green originally and THAT would have looked ‘period’.

"Hi" The Fabrik, Une restauration sans doute moins compliquée que d'autres, mais un choix de couleur parfait pour ce projecteur (j'adore ce "moucheté" bronze) ! Et bien sur un niveau de finition qui me laisse toujours admiratif. J'avais la même question qu'un autre commentateur sur la solidité du film, possiblement en nitrate de cellulose, j'ai vu que cela a cassé... Si c'est cela, attention, car c'est un matériau hyper sensible au feu par ailleurs. Merci pour cette superbe vidéo !
