Todd Tuckey shows you the "original POWER POINT" programming from the 50's and 60's!! Remember those old FILMSTRIP projectors and how excited you felt when you saw the projector in your classroom when you walked in? You KNEW that there were no books that day! Instead, you would sit in a darkened room watching "slides!" That was the life in those school days!! Enjoy! ALSO! This projector uses a 25 watt 14 volt projection bulb. The code to order it is ERR. This may help some of you!

[@sherrlon]

This reminds me of the library in the late 70's. I would spend hours watching those filmstrips with tapes and the huge heavy earphones. Thanks for sharing this!

[@tntamusements]

Thank you for replying!!

[@bt8406]

Yes the ear phones, i was telling my girls about the headphones too.

[@sherry6997]

@@tntamusements Do they still use these in school today?

[@JuanHerrera-pf6hc]

Those vinyl plastic headphones brings back memories

[@Schush]

This definitely brought some memories back here. We had these kind of projectors... I also remember the ones with the big reels of film. I'd love to find some of the history ones I used to watch in the late '70s

[@VectraQS]

I may have been one of the last to see these in a classroom. My third grade teacher brought one in around 2008 or so.

[@Musicradio77Network]

I remember filmstrips when I was in school. The teacher can play a tape while following along with the film, just like they did with the Disney Read-Along stories. If you want to use it as a set of slides, you need a Kodak Carousel slide projector to use it. All you have is a scissors and the slide cards to go with the film. I have a Kodak Carousel 650 slide projector that I got for $3 at a yard sale and it still works.

[@0mniP0t3nt]

I'm a child of the mid-80's, so these were relics of the recent-past when I was attending school. However, I distinctly remember seeing two or three of these standing on a wooden desk in (of course) the small library we had and I distinctly remember asking the "Librarian" what those were. After explaining them to me, I asked if I could try one. She, sadly, said; "No," and followed up this denial with saying it was too difficult, time-consuming to setup, especially for just a single kid. So that is the extent of MY memory of these things. I never had the opportunity ever again to try these as, shortly thereafter; the school chucked them out and replaced them with Macintosh computers, which I admit was probably the better choice overall. Regardless, thanks for making/uploading this video Todd; it was greatly appreciated as now I feel like I can joyfully close that chapter of my early-childhood.

[@tntamusements]

Yes...sadly they have gone the way of the Do-DO bird!

[@mikegoglia2978]

Thank you for the trip down memory lane

[@jeenkzk5919]

I'm 36 and you just pulled something deep from my memory banks! I remember we would jack with the side knob throwing it out of sync. We would then freak out and either hopefully fix it or let it run out in fear of getting in trouble with the teacher.

[@jscott1000]

This did bring back some memories. I remember watching these in the 70s in school. I usually got the job of advancing the projector as we didn't have the automatic kind. VHS was still a bit off from being commonly available by the time I graduated High School, (1980). Thanks for sharing!

[@tntamusements]

Glad you enjoyed it! I have an old huge Opaque Projector I will make a video on...another mainstay from 60's school systems!

[@arcademania7544]

This was a trip back to the late 70's. Now a day, kids follow along on their iPads. 😌

[@dannyfrankscomedy]

Oh man, watched so many stores at the library on these. What a nostalgic rush I just got.

[@tntamusements]

Glad it brought back memories!

[@KentuckyRanger]

OMG! I remember these! We used to have library hour on Tuesday's in grade school. I really looked forward to them because I'd get a slide show and watch it on one of these. Ah, the 70s...

[@chrisstory563]

for some strange reason. I just been remembering those machine recently and boy, they were neat back in the day. the model I remember was the one where they had the cassette and film strip section would be on the right side of the machine instead of the bottom. they were pretty cool back then.

[@TasickMedia]

I love the pace and production value in this old media. The projection technology and incandescent bulb add a lot of warmth to the presentation as well. I graduated in 1998 and remember lots of film strips, reels and slides during my primary education. I feel like I should buy one of these viewers, just to give my daughter the experience.

[@tntamusements]

Many people do have fond memories of these machines! What you said is PRECISELY why I bought this machine for MY daughters to experience!

[@TasickMedia]

Thanks for producing these videos. Aside from being extremely informational as I build my own MAME cabinets, it's all a trip down memory lane. Your videos conjure up the sounds and smells of the bowling alleys, pizza joints and mall arcades from my childhood. I live in Hong Kong now, but I've got a sales trip through the US in August, I was thinking of paying you a visit as I pass through PA. Maybe I can bum a little T-molding off you while I'm there (or just buy it). Oddly, that stuff is impossible to find in Hong Kong.

[@albear972]

They lingered onto the 90's? WOW! At this point any school would have a big 25 inch color TV with at least a top loading VCR.

[@DeeGeeDeFi]

It's amazing to read that this 'educational delivery system' (filmstrips) were still used through the 1990s! I remember filmstrips having accompanying audio narrative from early grade school (mid 70s) through 1983. It was a 'fun' day when we had a movie set up in our room in grade school, but it wasn't fun in high school, because we were expected to pay attention and take notes during the film. Ugh. And THEN when VHS became the default, remember the large television screens (tm) were installed on the TOP SHELF of a heavy rolling wheel steel rack? I think I saw a few of these carts topple over when whomever was pushing the cart would push a little too hard, and CRASH the television would smash into the ground.

[@tntamusements]

Yes...there were lots of those stories...when I was growing up, we started with movies projected ina darkened room on a large screen...and then the projector ended up in front of room sideways projecting on a mirror into a box...with a 30 inch screen...so much smaller and was done with lights on in room so teacher could keep an eye on the kids

[@mathewbailey6718]

The automatic filmstrip projectors use an intermittent sprocket to advance the film from one frame to the next. The mechanism that turns the sprocket is the same mechanism used in for example the Simplex brand projectors used in theatres.

[@epcotman32]

[@pancudowny]

We didn't have the auto-advance viewer/projectors, so we had to do manually the moment we heard the tone.(A simple "TOOT!") Listening to said tapes--which I found 2nd-hand--without the filmstrip made for some confusing first-times experiences with some things... like hearing "Taking It To The Streets" by The Doobie Brothers. The frame-advance signal was so ironically timed, I thought it part of the music! XD

[@albear972]

I remember that Dukane brand machine. But the one I used in the early 80's played 45 RPM records.

[@tomservo5007]

had them at my library, first half of the 80s -- I would use them weekly. The only one I remember watching was War of the Worlds. Those used cassettes.

Thank you!

[@rwdplz1]

9:17 I remember these, schools in Metro Detroit were STILL using them in the late 90's.

[@iscander_s]

I have seen a similar system, abandoned in our college's warehouse, that uses 35mm filmstrip projector, and have a reel-to-reel machine add-on that switch the slides by beeps on the second audio channel on the tape. And the add-on is not just connects to player outputs, add-on have their own head and has to be physically placed on the side of the player and the tape has to be fed from the reel through player's head, then through add-on's head, and after then on the other reel! It was the weirdest setup that I have ever seen, it looked like DIY, but it was not, because it still had own box and instructions manual.

[@tntamusements]

[@jamesgabele4221]

I remember these in the 1980s in elementary school. I remember the teacher kept on mixing up the tape and film. I think 50% of the time it was about the episode where three things receive the wrong birthday gift and the episode ended with the things singing "Happy birthday to us."

[@DennisWoodyard-DragonflyEnt]

[@tntamusements]

+DragonflyEnt Glad you enjoyed it!

[@Cullenjohnmichael]

I bought one of these film strips from a thrift store in Glasgow today and it was in a really old tin, also had a booklet which I assume was for the teacher to narrate to the class whilst she flicked through the slides. Each paragraph has the slide number next to it. I'm guessing this is predates 1970 then. it's called "342 The Magic Horse" and was distributed by the Hulton Press in Fleet Street, London. Really amazing.

[@AlexandreCortinas.]

[@akoww1000]

in 3rd grade, My school's library had a table full of them. As a reward for good grades or whatever we got to go use them for 30mins during school hours. They had four shelves of movie strips to watch. I remember when they got in the star wars and Indian jones, big day lol

He talks like only the older generations will remember these, but I just turned 26 and I still got to experience the teacher setting up the projector and running the filmstrips when I was in first and second grade in the early 90s. I still remember that we used the second type of projector he shows here - I think it was the very same model.

[@1959blantz]

I realize this is an older video and don't know if you read comments on videos close to 7 years old. I just wanted to say that you have to be my long lost brother. Besides my love for Pinball and Arcade machines, owning a few since the mid 80s, I was also big into 16MM film collecting, Up until a few years ago I sold my entire collection. I don't want to say for how much as I'm still kicking myself for selling everything. The collection consisted of over 100 features, many TV shows, (from the 50s, 60s, and 70s) Many Cartoons, Educational Films and more. I also included 6 16MM projectors ( 3 Elmos, 2 Eikis, 1 B&H ) 2 Rewinder sets, an Editor, and a Scope Lens. Several Features were on Eastman stock with most still holding their color and with minimal Color loss. Whenever possible I would try to buy Features on Fuji stock. I've been showing movies on a permanent large screen in my backyard since the late 90s. I sold the Films to purchase a higher end Digital projector so the picture and sound would be better and a larger selection of titles. Everyone that comes to my shows tell me they miss the old school way of showing movies. I would include drive-in count down clocks and trailers. I hope to go back to 16MM someday.My love for Film goes back to the early 70s when I was a kid. I bought a few super 8MM B&W silent Films because they were cheaper than color. I didn't even own a projector at that time as I was intrigued by the look of a film reel, and the thought that it took 24 frames to equal 1 second of movement. Younger people will never get the excitement of holding a film reel and the smell of film and I'm not talking about the dreaded Vinegar syndrome smell.Another thing that makes me feel like you are my long lost brother is the fact we are close to the same age, and I had Heart bypass surgery shortly before you did. I apologize for this long comment but I love talking film to fellow film lovers.

I also got this one at Goodwill today is an Argus 500 slide projector and it works perfectly for its age, but this projector that I've got was from the early to mid 1950's. It's in excellent shape, except the dust cover and leather was kinda beat up, and it's in better shape. I might order a slide tray, slide mounts and one of the films which came out of a filmstrip projector. All I can do is cut, but in a slide mount, put them in a tray, and it's good to go.

Okay, so I remember this from about 1966 to 1968 in elementary school but I don't remember it having a record that needed to be synched with the filmstrip.

[@warhawk05]

This is similar to a projector my mom brought home in the late 70s. She was enlisting in the military and the recruiter gave her a projector like this to look at job options. But I don't remember her having to load film or cassettes. Maybe we got a different model? It was around 1978/79.

[@tntamusements]

Hard to say...this was probably around the same era...but I am sure they made different machines and designs.

[@telesniper2]

I wonder if there is any conceivable mechanism around, or one could be devised, where you can convert old film strips to PowerPoint.

[@Averythefanman]

I need to find some filmstrips for my A-V Matic. The Stanly County Public Library still has one of these that is still in use today! There is a red book that has at least fifty different titles in it. Whenever we go, I always ask for a filmstrip and cassette, and my brother and I will watch a filmstrip and go back to Kindergarten. I need to eventually restore mine, because the cassette player makes a clicking noise like there is a flat spot on the idler, and it needs a new belt.

[@georgef551]

I remember these from grade, all the way to high school, when VHS was everything. At that time, a lot of the filmstrips were faded. In grade school, we only had the front projection models, old ones with no tape player (separate tape player needed), and Ducane ones similar to the front projection one you have. We even had some older films with no audio, like you were showing. We even had spelling strips that came with a shutter, so the word flashes on the screen, and you had to repeat what the word was that flashed on the screen. I don't know if you remember "System 80", my grade school had one. You had a record, and a card with a 2-sided filmstrip glued in. It was an interactive machine with four buttons, which you select answers from. Got it right, advance a frame, got it wrong, it stays put, and the track on the record replays. You had to turn the card and record over to finish part 2 of each lesson. I had fun with that thing (late 70s, early 80s). Of course, we had the 16mm PJs as well. The school system even had "Escape to Witch Mountain" on reels. Not sure about other entertainment ones, almost all were educational. One teacher did have a smaller portable rear projection filmstrip projector than you had, not sure who made it, but it was neat, and was automatic. Worst part of the VHS craze, was junior high, a 4-story building with no elevator, and the equipment was stored on the top level. Glad I never had to bring one of those carts down or up any stairs, as they were the tall shelves, to make it that much harder.

[@tntamusements]

georgef551 Yes!! I remember those spelling projectors...but only after you reminded me!!

[@georgef551]

TNT Amusements Inc Do you remember "System 80" as well? I can't find any images of one, it just shows a computer, or projectors casting 80-inch images. No images or videos. Must be ultra-rare, or there's none left.

The only thing I did not like about the projector was the light bulbs were expensive and they burnt out quickly.

I would really like to see the experience of playing through one. can you take a video aim the camera and frame it 99% on the media and leave some kidn of overhand that shows us its a projector, and click through a whole story, or is that copyright issue?

Were there any other built-in screen models made like this? i distinctly remember a fan motor noise when ours played in the classroom but i could be mistaken. thank you for posting this by the way. I've been trying to find out what that projection-screen machine was. I have foggy memories of playing with one of these on the floor in kindergarten. (we were very careful with it). i don't remember ever seeing the filmstrips for it, but it's very possible that the teacher kept them behind her desk and re-wound it for us when we weren't looking.

[@tntamusements]

There were other similar machines by different manufacturers for sure...but I havent run across any others. I got these years ago for my daughters to play with and run the strips themselves to get them hands on older equipment.

+Becki Green YES!! Me, too. Every Halloween the teacher would drag that filmstrip out and scare the heck out of us!

kekort2, Thank Goodness someone else remembers this! It was pretty graphic for little kids to see. I remember the filmstrip story was about the family that was harassed by the Bell Witch. So whatever the Witch had done to that family member, that is what would be shown happening in the filmstrip.
