That was the Palace Pier in Brighton, the fountain you saw is on the road leading to it, the railway next to the beach is volks, which is the oldest electric railway in the world. The panning shot was from the West Pier on the left back to the Palace Pier. There's an interesting recent video on KZbin by Captain Delusion which explains Shutter speed which is worth a watch.

To retrobright the Tomy cover, use the vapor method. Do not put it in peroxide but put a little peroxide in a transparent box and place the cover above the peroxide it so it does not get wet. Close the box and put it outside in the sun on a warm summer day. The peroxide will form condensation. And thus remove the yellowing without getting the cover wet. Works perfectly!

[@jamesgillre]

Also I think submersion retrobrighting method would be acceptable since it is only white paint

[@gilles111]

The Super-8 film works with 16 frames/second so yes, those shutters are there to separate the frames you're seeing. With the shutters operating you see 16 pictures a second which your brain thinks they are a moving object (however this works smoother with 24+ frames/sec so you still experience a bit of stuttering when you watch 16 fps). Without shutters you would see a smeary mess with each picture drawn in and out of the picture (as you imagined yourself). What we did, back in the days, when we didn't have a free spindle, was unreal the tape on the floor (or table) and put the now empty spindle on the back and let that pull the film through. The back spindle forces the film to run at the correct speed, the front spindle is just there to feed the film. That large, landing plane is a British European Airways Hawker Siddeley Trident 3B. BEA formed together with BOAC (British Overseas Airways Corporation) the nowadays British Airways in 1974. The pier and beach are at Brighton, that little train on the beach is the Volk's Electric Railway.

I have that black hot glue stick too. It's really handy for use on parts of things that are visible. I don't know why, but the flat (slightly shiny) black color just looks miles better than the milky, sometimes yellowish result you get with cheap clear glue. It doesn't make things look like they were repaired with bodily fluids.

The location in the video is Brighton Palace Pier I believe. Seems like the footage was filmed on the Marine parade overlooking 'Volk's Electric Railway Workshop' & 'Banjo Groyne' on the A259. The Victorian fountain is also close to the Pier located in Old Steine Gardens. I spent way too long googling old tall fountains in England! 🤣 Edit, I presume the Airport is also Brighton Airport as that's also quite nearby.

[@paulfox89]

@@MrThatlife definitely Heathrow by looks of it and the fire engines match the London fire brigade logo.

[@TrueBrit1]

With regard to the old cine film, the logo on the fire engine looks very like the London Fire Brigade badge, which would probably make sense if the airport was Heathrow. The plane appears to be a Hawker Siddeley Trident operated by British European Airways, which was active between 1946 and 1974, when it changed to British Airways. One of them, BEA's Flight 548, crashed shortly after take off from Heathrow on 18 June 1972, losing all 118 on board. It crashed about 2 minutes after take off, coming down near Staines, and it became known as the 'Staines Air Disaster'. It remains the worst ever airline disaster in the UK, except for the Pan-Am flight over Lockerbie, but that was caused by you-know-what, not a failure by the plane or crew, as in the case of flight 548. There is a small posibility that the plane in the film was the very one that crashed, but of course it depends on when that film was taken, and is a small chance, as BEA operated somewhere between 24 and 40 Tridents. You can wiki it - they believe it was possible that the captain (Ex-RAF who saw active duty in WW2) had a heart attack, which may, or may not, have caused the crash. And that is definitely Brighton - the moment I saw the pier and light green railings, I recognised it (I used to work there). The railings are still the same colour today. If you ever go and look at them, you can see countless layers of paint, as they clearly just paint over them, without stripping the old paint off. Having spent over an hour on goggle maps and street view, I'm not entirely sure where that was filmed. Yes part shows the Volk's Railway (filmed I think just opposite Belgrave Place), but the part showing the (Palace?) pier was, I 'think', filmed just a few hundred yards further along the prominade (Marine Parade) towards the Palace Pier, roughly opposite Atlingworth Street. Or was it the old West Pier, the one that burnt down (twice I think). I THINK it WAS the Palace pier, so where I said (have a look on street view). But I'm puzzled by the thing at 47:42, which appears to be a concrete walkway/causeway heading towards the sea, but the only thing like that today is further along, immediately AFTER the Palace Pier. So I'm assuming whatever it was, was demolished at some point. I think, judging by the cars, it was filmed in the 1960s, possibly early 1970s, but no later than that. The fountain at 47:50 is the Victoria Fountain, Old Steine Gardens, Brighton. I found an article online from November 2023, talking about how, after 10 months and a £400,000 refurbishment, it stopped working just a few weeks of the ceremony to reopen it lol! The pier at 47:58 is the old West Pier, which per goggle "The pier closed to the public in 1975 and fell into disrepair and gradually collapsed. Major sections fell into the sea during storms in late 2002, and two separate fires, both thought to be arson, in March and May 2003 destroyed most of the remaining structure, leading to English Heritage declaring it beyond repair". The remnants are still there, and there has been lots of talk about restoring it, both before and after the fires in 2003, but those that wanted to rebuild it, couldn't get permission. I was there during the early 2000s, and watched from my office as it burnt down. That clip was filmed (zoomed in) from about halfway along the 'Palace' pier a few hundred yards away. Again, you can see that today from goggle street view on the Palace pier. It seems it was filmed right where the 'Palm Court Restaurant' sign is now on the pier (see street view from the pier). That isn't a reference to a circus, but the circle and stalls entrance at the Theatre Royal. That was filmed, I think, at the entrance on New Road, Brighton. At 48:27, I don't think that's Dover, but where they built the Brighton Marina in the late 70s. As you go around the coast there, you'll end up at the 'Seven Sisters' cliffs, and the infamous 'Beachy Head' where numerous people have jumped off to their demise. That was also filmed near the end of the Palace pier, looking east. You can see that tall building in the middle of the screen at 48:31 from the goggle street view near the end of the pier today, as well as the tall brown building in the centre of the screen at 48:33. You can also see that long line of arches below them today. At 48:39 (again filmed from the Palace pier), that is the Palace Pier Groyne, with the big manhole cover at 48:412 still visible today from goggle maps. At 48:59, that is the Helter Skelter, which is still at the end of the pier today. My mum was born just outside Brighton, and I was born and brought up not far away. It seems that film was almost certainly from Londoners on a day trip to the seaside, which is probably where 90% of them go when going to the beach, as it's d direct train ride on the London to Brighton line. I know Brighton very well, such a cool place. Colour film back then was expensive, and it was definitely before 1974 as that's when BEA became BOAC and then British Airways. Hope this is of interest to people.

Really enjoyed that video!! My favourite was the projector! The solder will oxidise very quickly vs gold plating! Gold is highly innert at atmospheric conditions!

[@Mymatevince]

'highly inert at atmospheric conditions' 😂 I love that Chris. I will always remember this now. It reminds me of when myself and 3 other students from my 'not very good' state secondary school where up against the local public schools in a big science competition (BAYS). Obviously we won (thank you very much) and also beat the next age group up. Of course we just got lucky with our design, in fact I just copied a design from those polystyrene aeroplanes with the plastic props, but when my friend was questioned by William Woollard ( Tomorrow's World and Top Gear fame) he asked "why did we build the wings in this shape and not this shape". My friend replied with " because the molecule couldn't take it" and William looked, nodded his head and moved onto the next question. I think he thought he was dealing with a bunch of boffins who knew more than him, so didn't question it. We didn't have a clue, but somehow won everything with ease that day, it was so much fun and 'highly inert at atmospheric conditions' is a phrase I will definitely use going forward along with my ongoing use of 'the molecule couldn't take it' 😂

Great video, Vince!! I enjoy all your videos! Long and short! The Super 8 brings back memories!! Back in the late 70s/early 80s dad would break out a sheet to use as a screen and his collection of Super 8 videos about once a year and watch them all. He had some he took while in Viet Nam, some of the family at the zoo, and a couple cartoons. I looked forward to it each time! No sound, but he would tell the stories as we watched them. I would suggest looking for instructions on the Super 8. It should automatically load the film around to the side where you start winding it onto the uptake reel. I noticed it said "Loadmatic" on the side, so I'm guessing it will do that for you! Thanks, Vince! Always a treat!

First, add me to the "I Watched Vince's Videos And It Gave Me The Knowledge To Fix Something" club. (We might need a shorter name.) It was the seized motor part that helped me. Had a battery operated dice thrower from the early 70's that I bought and it didn't work. Verified the current was going to where it needed to when it was switched on. Started turning the gears and soon it started moving a little on its own (didn't have it turned on). Did that for a while, popped the battery in, and BOOM! It works now! Thanks! And I think when Vince dropped that tiny screw into the projector, that was the angriest I've seen/heard him. Most times when something happens it's a calm sounding "well, that's annoying" when I probably would have thrown the thing across the room. But I sensed a little anger/frustration this time. 😃

Hi Vince, At 31:15, When screwing in Small flat head screws like that & even small Philips head screws or any screws really that are awkward, I put a piece of Insulation or Masking tape around the Screw & Screwdriver, Not too much just to stop the issue that you were having when the Screw dropped down into the “Abyss” of the Projector, Just a thought for future reference! 🙂

Other down sides of glue guns is that they heat up pretty slowly, you waste different types of colored glue when swapping or you need one for each different type, they can drip glue at the nossle or where you rest it on leading to more wasting glue,they only do one thing and for the price of a good one(and a bit more) you might as well get a hot air soldering station.

[@Holycurative9610]

For stuck or rounded screws I use a rubber band in the screw head and it grips the driver bit allowing the screws to be loosened. I use this method for laptops/PC/phone screws so how it'd work on decking screws I don't know!

[@nemofox_68]

My dad had a super 8 camera in the '70s. In addition to family movies I remember that I sometimes played a Tom & Jerry cartoon. Obviously there was no sound but I felt a great pleasure to look at it on a white sheet. My father still has the projector in his cellar.

[@guidomersmann9744]

The exposed earth key also locks in the neutral and phase. So if wired correctly even on extender adapters the blue wire is neutral. The schuko system we use in Germany has a lock key as well, but it is almost never be used. The hole is there, but the key is missing on plugs. Instead there are two earth prongs and you can plug in two orientations. So the blue neutral can end up being the black phase when using an extender cord. This may not sound like a big issue, but e.g. when dealing with a lamp the phase may end up at the bulb thread, while plugged the other way around phase will end up at the switch, keeping the lamp without a bulb save when turned off.

The "self loading" mechanism on projector. 1 you press down while feeding film, then release when it catches in the film gate. It is designed to slip and not turn unless manually pressed down... The reel and take up reel, are on a slip-tension, allowing a tight wind, without breaking and scratching the slim. You should seek a 'hands-free' take up reel, as they will slip-grip the film tighter towards the center where the next wrap of film will settle it into place.

[@christopherdecorte1599]

I never liked working with those super 8 projectors always have trouble getting the feed started so it was fun watching someone else struggle with it and thinking will it get stuck near the lamp and burn up the film then seeing the bulb get touched with finger im like wonder how many hours the bulb has left due finger oils same with belts and chain corrosion. I would recommend wearing cotton gloves on these types of devices. It was exciting watching you get it going great video.

[@nhand42]

With that spinning shutter thing, I recall something about the same frame being shown twice with a blank frame in-between. Somehow that gives smoother motion.

My god that was stressful! Those bulbs get really hot and I was just waiting for the stuck film to burn right through... lucky it didn't have an opportunity to warm up! You noticed the mechanism on to lock and unlock the reel - once the film has finished and sitting of the back reel, you normally feed the film on to the front wheel and lock it in place to rewind. Pretty sure when you had the film spitting out back at you it was in rewind ;) Kinda funny hearing the talk about the pick up reel .... that smaller movie has a lot of space to fill up!

one advice from a uni student in morroco : nail cutters a the best WIRE strippers for small wires

[@dodgydruid]

In the very first days of square pin plugs there was a carry over from the old heavy duty high draw "phat" round pins like you had your cooker or front room electric fire hooked up to via round pins, radio and telly plugs also had a fuse wire plug which wasn't so much to protect the mains from a blown up gadget but more to protect the telly or radio from ground strike lightning surges which would merrily destroy your tubed item lest the fuse wire would blow out and save the day. I remember having to change the fuse wire on our round pin stuff if I wanted to watch the telly if there had been a thunderstorm during the night and lightning hit near the substation. My father fed up with it, decided one weekend he and I would rewire the whole house from top to bottom with all new square pin stuff (purloined from BR, even the new trip board was British Rail's finest, whether it was light bulbs, tea bags, tinned fruit or Izal toilet paper it all came from British Rail)(Father was a bit of a hypocrite, his mate from railway S&T offered to wire in a "cheat" switch which could bypass the meter so for 3 weeks in a month free electric direct from the feed and not detectable by meter readers either, father went all pious about stealing despite having nicked just about everything from his employer but he said that was a perk)

That is a proper calibrated fuse mate.😄

In the projector its interesting How there using the motor as a transformer to power the lamp, it looks like there's a thick low voltage winding wound over the 230v winding.

Would that film footage be of the World's fair? Not sure which one, but it seems to have the excitement of a World's fair.

I like your comment re the projector "It's still a good product". Of course it is, it's made in Australia. Back when we actually made things here!

[@garystockton4100]

Another great video. Love it when you work on multiple items.

Retrobrite will Work without any peroxide as well, itwill Just Take longer. Just lay the object into bright sunlight or Help IT a little by wrapping IT in a translucent foil and things will start going. Warmth plays an important part in the process as well plus UV light.

[@christianmeinert8806]

Screaming at my screen. The spool carrying the film shouldn’t be motor driven on playback. The projector pulls the film. Only the second spool should be driven to take the film. The projector should be able to automatically load the film. Only feed the beginning in and it should transport it to the back. The film on the stage is pulled by a hook frame by frame and during transport the shutter blocks the light. Otherwise you would see only stripes smeared over the screen. Seeing this knowledge fade makes me feel old. Nice video 👍

Hi Vince From Brisbane Australia, i would like to know if you would do a video on your setup please as im keen to get some gear as im starting out and wanting to learn myself, im a retired Soldier looking to get some new skills and i have been binge watching your videos an i am very keen to do this myself, keep up the great work your mate shane from down under

[@Stubear22374]

I’d use maguiars plastic headlight two step kit comes with a scotchbright pads and some plastic polish for plastic lenses and a spray afterwards for clarity would work a treat and wouldn’t affect other plastic areas as it’s a cream. Also the video looks like an old BOAC plane landing a British icon there is one at the Duxford museum

[@fishingfreakok]

hi vince loving the channel what scissors snips are you using please brand and model / size please?

[@Lachlant1984]

I'd say what's happened with that Tomy game is that the lubricant in the motor has migrated from the bearings to the commutator. Taking the motor apart and lubricating it would be the ultimate repair, but I don't know how easy it is to repair such a motor. If you leave the game unattended for a while, the motor could seize up again.

"P I 5 5, that looks like piss, a piss lamp!" 😂 I've got one of those super 8 projectors in the lockup that I got in an ewaste haul to tinker with. Thought if I can get it running, could do an old fashioned style spooky movie night in the woods for Halloween! 👻

[@Jdbye]

That mouse looks like a Logitech MX518 clone. And I totally understand the love for it. The MX518 was my favorite mouse ever, and they don't make them anymore.

[@jrsc01.]

Possibly sending it into Talking Pictures TV may be an option to see if anyone can track them down, they look for old reels etc and can remaster them for broadcast and investigation of the owners etc.

[@jamiefors5062]

Nice fixes buddy, perhaps maybe do a video of your set-up and work station, believe it or not, we love that crap lol, take it easy

[@ScottShields-t4e]

I wonder why the cable was added on the final product? What was the original fixers ethic? Great to see the Brighton images. That will stir some memories for locals.

[@danielross868]

In the first video ( TOMY motor) you should put a "drop" of 3in1 oil on the motor bearing ( just below the cog). It will ensure it stays "free" for many years to come......With the plastic, you can see even on the blue parts, it has nicotine staining. To remove (at least some) from the clear cover, try a dilute mixture of vinegar and water. (50/50) Let it soak for a bit, then some slight agitation with soft brush, then rinse.... Try it a small corner part first of course...

Hi, Vince. I've just realised that BEA Tridents were all based at Heathrow. They were used for short European holiday flights.

[@Mymatevince]

Thank you👍👍

[@andy2950]

@@Mymatevince I was unable to identify the first aircraft (possibly a Vickers of some type). But the small red and white plane looks like a Piper Twin Comanche. 🤔🤞

[@RandomUsername3040]

Started to really enjoy your videos

[@willproctor7301]

BA Baracus, you owe me another spat out coffee mate! rofl!! Awesome fixes yet again. Thank you!

[@Tokaisho1]

The stuck decking screws was brilliant you could release that separately or as a short.

[@ktaragorn]

Agree, same with the Ifixit screwdriver

[@YoshMaster]

Yayyyy (or should I say Yeaagh) a toy repair!! Love those!
