Looks fantastic.

[@rodrigobrasiliense5406]

I use alcohol to clean. It is safe and functional. It does not damage the emulsion, it is reliable.

[@lua6041]

Olá Rodrigo! Poderia me dizer que tipo de álcool usar? Por esquecimento deixamos um rolo, dentro da embalagem plástica, num local onde pegou sol e agora o filme está com uma umidade, parece ter soltado uma espécie de tinta... Tb apresenta muitas partes "amassadas", certamente por causa do calor recebido. Vc sabe como eu poderia limpar nesse caso? E, se tiver experiência, se posso tentar esse método a seguir para tentar realinhar o filme? kzbin.info/www/bejne/j17ZdZtsp5eGbdU Desde já agradeço a atenção

[@lukassteinbrink322]

Looks great. I could imagine convert this to a longplay unit for my Super 8 projector.

[@dannganeko]

Hi there. Do you still sell these?

[@marcdelente2456]

Avec ont pouvait contrôler le film si le type était pas ok ces qu' il voulait vous vendre une copie pourri ou alors avec les vrais cinéphiles et amis ils y avait une estime et confiance réciproque. Il faut dire que quand j était gosse jme suis fait arnaquer après jai été très prudent . Donc j en revien a l enrouleuse munuel indispensable en 8 et 16 mm .

Film cleaner will NOT remove mold. For removing mold you need a special cleaning machine. We have such a machine and offer the service to clean films with mold.

[@ZevenhuizenNL]

I removed lots of mold without a special machine. I unrolled the film in a bucket filled with demineralised water. Next I moved the film between my fingers to clean it from the mold and hang it in big loops to dry at a line. The result? 100 % clean film. It will take some time, but it works perfect. And ... its free. Only some Euro's for the demineralised water.

@@ZevenhuizenNL can you plz share details.

[@shripalkhajanchi]

Can you plz share details

[@dhw5895]

Oh, please, please, please tell me. I need to do this to many, many tapes that I want to have converted to DVD,s for my granddaughter before I die. They are old family tapes of me as a child and my family, none of whom she’s ever known. I don’t have a tape rewinder. Do you just rewind them on a reel by hand?

[@addygrubber5351]

Never use water.

€ 259,00 !!!! Must be high.

[@kyrieshiloh9518]

[@kyrieshiloh9518]

@Kasen Ronin Thanks so much for your reply. I found the site through google and I'm in the hacking process atm. Takes quite some time so I will get back to you later with my results.

[@kyrieshiloh9518]

@Kasen Ronin It did the trick and I finally got access to my account again. I'm so happy! Thanks so much, you saved my account!

[@kasenronin7009]

@Kyrie Shiloh No problem :D

[@uncled39]

What is the largest reel size these can take? Thanks.

[@Super8Rescue]

I am very much looking forward to receiving your film cleaner in the coming days. My films have never been cleaned in 40 years...

También el alcohol isopropílico te sirve

[@markchristensen2876]

How can I get one of these in America?

[@michaelroake7699]

Hi, I have Super 8 film affected by mold. Will your film cleaner remove this successfully?

[@willianaleman6114]

I'm happy to report that I received my Filmcleaner order in New York City Area. Can the Filmcleaner be used for video tapes, like VHS, 8mm, Hi8, Betacam, and MiniDV?

[@willianaleman6114]

Thank you, Van Eck for confirming the use of the Filmcleaner in those video formats through email.

[@addygrubber5351]

Why didn't he say it here?

[@willianaleman6114]

@@addygrubber5351it's a good question! Thanks!

Do u ship to Brasil?

[@therestorationofdrwho1865]

I have a problem. When cleaning - the film sticks to itself and when unwinding it almost ruins the film.

[@VanEckVideo]

Which cleaning fluid are u using?

[@therestorationofdrwho1865]

Van Eck Video Services I normally use isopropyl alcohol but I’m guessing that isn’t good??

[@VanEckVideo]

@@therestorationofdrwho1865 Alcolhol ruins your film. Please use a suitable film cleaner! See for test where we tested with alcohol, PEC-12 and Film cleaner to clean super8 films: www.van-eck.net/itable.php?lang=en&size=0&cat=info&merk=255&type=Films Only film cleaner did not destroy the film.

[@therestorationofdrwho1865]

Van Eck Video Services Well - alcohol still cleans the film but when the emulsion swells and sticks to itself when wound during cleaning - it dries when stuck to itself. How does film cleaning prevent this? Does it not swell the emulsion? Because emulsion is very absorbent and what not.

[@VanEckVideo]

@@therestorationofdrwho1865 The filmcleaner is specially developed to clean films like super8 / regular8 / 16mm film and does not harm the film, see: shop.van-eck.net/SF-0124.html?_globalsearch=Filmcleaner
