1950s Old Movie Projector - Mickey Mouse - Restoration

[@midei]

Beautiful restoration. Those early projectors are so sweet. I'm sure they made our grandparents very happy.

[@TheFabrik]

Thank you !! And my kids are happy too 😌👍🏻

[@TheParkAttendant]

The card stock that was used to make the lamp housing, was used through several manufactured products in it's time. Camera housings, toys, even car and truck interiors. This toy housing would have been steam bent. The material used to assemble it is called buckram and was used to cover books.

[@stupitdog9686]

I guess it was used as it would not heat up too much with the close contact to the bulb & would protect a 50's kid from contact burns.

[@genericuser8157]

I hate how it wasn’t restored to how it was my ocd is fkd now 🤦‍♂️

Thanks, I've always wondered what that materiel was

[@crist67mustang]

When I was a child in 1977, 10 years old, I had a projector throw a roll of paper under Roynel brand, and I used to draw customized cartoons, static pictures, non movement, just one lens, metallic case and a simple bulb. The projector here shown has two lenses, giving effect of movement. Great! Huggs from 🇨🇱 Santiago, Chile SouthAmerica. 😉😀

[@TheFabrik]

Thanks a lot ! Glad it brings back good memories. In the 70s, we had fun with beautiful toys, right?

[@crist67mustang]

@@TheFabrik Yessss. Let me tell you something else. In 1980 my parents went to the US, Florida, and I asked them a View Master Projector and my brother a Fisher Price super8 film cartridges and projector/visor. And finally the bought them bougth. I yet have my VM projector, and many many reels.🥰

Thank you very much 🙏 Glad you appreciated it 🙌

[@jdsguam]

What amazes me is knowing I was born in 1955 and this was probably a high end toy that we couldn't even afford.

[@TheParkAttendant]

Ditto! I was born in 1953. There were a lot of things my parents couldn't afford. And it's still that way for me now.

Amazing restoration, but what I loved most was seeing the creative and hands-on way that my grandparents would’ve entertained themselves. Truly amazing.

[@kostasastro]

Wow, the movie at the end was epic. The suspense, the drama, the action were out of this world, Hollywood can take note from this for future movies. Almost forgot, a very good restoration but for the light bulb cover i would try to use hard leather or something similar to the original piece in order to be as authentic as possible

[@CJTheHaunter]

Meh, I don’t get the movie

Some things should be donated to a thrift store if you don't want them as some people can bring them back to their original state.

[@vazk-thret]

ages have past, since these machines had been coveted, no longer seen as the wonderous piece of human ingenuity that they are. stained and replaced, rusted and worn, these machines wither in silence and suffering. yet even in the cold, uncaring world, unable to see the perfection in even the oldest of machines. there are the faithful, those that know the centuries of curiosity, and hard work, in each of these relics. these faithful few that rip away the cruel chains of rust, and remind these hardworking machines. that no matter how old they are, they will always be the glorious creations of mankind, deserving of respect and admiration. praise the wheel, praise progress.

"no electronics" video shows a electrical cable being restored

[@Lapantouflemagic0]

that's both a quite neat design and a little painful to watch as the end, this uneven blinking and image offset... but otherwise alternating those two sets of image make for a pretty well done feeling of animation, I like it. otherwise great restoration, so many little parts ! an good idea to replace some rivets with threadlocked screws, it's probably better this way.

[@1943L]

Nicely renovated. My cousin had one in the 50s and I remember staying over and playing with it.

[@Damien.D]

I miss the time were toys used mains connected bulbs with cotton insulated wires inside ungrounded metal cases ! That helped so many kids to learn great things about electricity! :D Fantastic job by the way, you're using so many different technique to do your work. Love the trick for the gold paint stamping!

[@TheFabrik]

Thank you Damien ! A steam live loco + a NIC projector = danger in the house :) If children have survived these toys then they can face up everyting 🙂👍🏻

[@raywood8187]

I had a Thing-Maker as a kid in the 60's. Plug it in, heat the metal mold up and pour goop in to cook up little Creepy Crawler creatures. Hot enough to blister a finger. Safety concern? We didn't touch it until the creatures cooled, problem solved!

[@martianshoes]

@Ray I had one too. Made fishing lures. Then I ruined a rug in my room. My mother was quite distraught.

Great restoration and filming, as usual, but this time I can't give it the thumbs up because you absolutely have to use a 3-wire cable and ground the housing if you make it from metal, otherwise there is a risk of a deadly electrical shock.

[@TheFabrik]

Oh wow ok 😐 You’re right tho, but the plug and the switch are brand new with only two slots. The socket is in bakelite so there almost is no possiblity to have voltage contact. Well I agree with you, it would have been safer 🙌
