I also like projectors and film.currently have a Holmes portable 35MM projector-made in 1939.Its a Model 8 series. Need the soundhead preamp for it. Also have two 16MM projectors,a Bell and Howell and a Devry.Have only one 16MM film-a WW2 vintage one about first aid!.Have two 35MM "one reeler" featurettes-"Parachute Jumping",and a reel from the Disney show of "Charlie The Lonesome Couger".also have MANY 35MM film trailers.Have a very old Griswold 35MM film splicer.My projectors work OK.Love seeing pictures and visiting projection rooms-Have seen an IMAX projection setup-a freind works there.That IMAX machine was pretty neat-its the size of a car with a dryer sitting on top-the "dryer" like enclosure is the lamphouse.IMAX projectors use 14Kw lamps.

My roommate has a HUGE collection of 16mm sound movies, along with regular 8, super 8, and tons of slices. 2 Bell & Howell 16 mm sound projectors, one auto-thread, one manual thread. A Victor 16mm sound projector (I used to run those in school for presentations in the days before VCR's). I even have a Super 8 SOUND projector and camera, remember those?
Kodak discontinued Carousel projectors, FYI

The carousel projectors are still made in limited numbers for theater useage.-but are being replaced by video still store projectors.Theaters still use them for showing the "pre-show" ad slides for Coke,Pepsi and the Movie trivia game slides on the screen or even screen curtain to entertain folks finding their seats and waiting for the house lights to dim and the actual show to start.also the theater may show ad slides for local businesses in the area where the theater is.
Vintage pix
Yes I love vintage pictures too!!They are a window to the past! When I look at the some of my old photos that I remember when they were taken. I can almost open the window and walk right in. There were several boxes of loose photos,and one album put together, when we cleaned out my parents house after they passed on. No one wanted to deal with the photos,so my siblings gave them to me. I put the photos into six albums,the oldest decade in the 1920's and up to the present.I take them to family get togethers. My family enjoys the photos,and I always make sure they go back with me when I leave. Now that I have a really high quality scanner, I have been emailing a special photo to them when I have the time. They really like that!

the thrilling 70's photo!
This one is for you Jason. Since you love old pictures,and love the 70's..... Would I fit in with the Brady Bunch here??? LOL!
Me at 20, in 1975.Just finished the restoration on the Mills jukebox. Gotta love the funky orange plaid bellbottoms,cream colored shirt with the wide dark brown collar. And it's no wonder my parents were always bugging me to:"GET A HAIRCUT"!!!
I sure looked cuter at 10 !(now you see why I hate the 70's) LOL!

Aw dude.....
Hey Rick!
You are way cuter than Barry Williams! You get my vote for a Brady Kid!!;-)
I think the 70's were created to give us all something to look back and laugh at (especially our clothes). However, Scarlet's beauty remains timeless.

Could've been a Patridge
Hey is that a stack of 45s on that table? Yup, you could've been a Brady. I like it! I wish I could go back to the 70s.
Bri, on the other hand, saw NONE of the 70s. She was born in 1981 but she's gonna see and hear alot of 70s stuff in her lifetime when she's around me.
Here's a pic of me from 1983. Yes, it's the 80s but the living room screamed 1976! I'm on the couch reading the manual to my new Commodore MPS-801 printer OOOOOH! NERD!!!
Note also that the pretty decor is the hard work of my stay-at-home mom. Yes, she did work up until 1980 but QUIT to become a full-time mom and housewife. She got LIBERATED from her stinky job to be able to raise me and take care of the house.
This is how I want my basement when I move up to MA. Dark brown panelling, a 70s TV, stereo, a 60s or 70s jukebox if possible, Kenmore 800 set and any other avocado appliances I can get my hands on.
Bri gets a 50s kitchen and I get a 70s basement. YAY!

YAY for 45s

45 RPM'S/Seeburg Juke
If you are ever in Northern Indiana,let me know.You and Bri can stop by.
The 45 rpm records are not glued to the walls. I just tapped a little tack into the morter between the brick,and the records just hang from the large center holes. I have TONS of records from the turn of the century to the early 1990's. I guess thats another type of collection.
The Seeburg jukebox is a model Q-160 I restored it in 1997.
I have attached a picture of it,however it won't look like this much longer. I am in the process of "tricking it out". While the lighting featured on it was great for 1960,it's dull and boring by todays standard. I'll post "after" photos in a week or so.

OHHHHH
My bad, that is a Q. Oops..
Wow, I can't wait to see what the finished product will look like.
I want 2 jukeboxes. I want a Rowe/Ami Bubbler 45 juke (repro) for the kitchen/dining room. That's gonna be our "diner". All the titles and buttons are up front so Bri can play it easily. In my 70s basement, I want a late 60s Wurlitzer 3000 or Rock-Ola Ultra. Those were the last 2 with a viewing window as far as I know before the repro boxes came out.

Wow-45's love-em too-I am saving that big box of em I got from a radio station I used to work at.Despite the "Q-burn" they work fine.When I first started working at that station(WPGC-AM-FM)saw the studio-there was Harv Moore-playing the 45's from a large pegboard on the studio wall-and at each peg that the records hung one -was its "top-40" number as it was on the charts.later they recorded the records onto the endless loop tape "carts" and the DJ played those instead of the records.One of my jobs was rebuilding and rewinding the "carts"That 4X8 Ft pegboard was so neat-really missed it.Was replaced by a row of cart machines.the records I have date from the 60's.They were stored at the transmitter site for a number of years.Transmitter sites are real treasure houses at radio stations!The older the better!!!The transmitter plant was built in the 50's.
45 rpm jukes
Jason, I had a Wurlitzer juke in the 1980's. It was from the late 1960's and it was called,"The Americana 2"
It was cool because it lit up purple. I sold it to a friend that has three Wurlitzers. A Peacock from the 1940's,the "Americana" from the 1960's and his wife won a brand new "one more time" 1015 reproduction that plays cd's.
Wurlitzer "hid" the record changer in about 1963 I think. You couldn't see it at all on my Americana.
I like the Seeburgs,lots of chrome and rich bass,and the "record lath" changer is way cool. My Q-160 is nice,however I would DIE for a V-200!! Those are tight!!
AMI is a great jukebox too.They were from Europe. Nice sound and great quality. Rockolas' simply ROCK! I just love them all!! But they have to be real wood,or chrome. No fake woodgrain for me,thank you. Those ones that looked like a console stereo,no thanks.
If you want an old juke that plays 45's I would be looking for one now. They have not been made for some time now,and will be getting scarce and more $$$$ the longer you wait.

45's on the wall
Thats right Tolivac! I do remember seeing radio studios. The records were on peg boards.And remember how huge the turntables were in the studio? I had forgotton about both of those. I got the idea of decorating with the 45's from the Roller Dome. That was a roller rink I used to go to when I was in junior high school. The dj had a turntable in the booth and the records were on pegs on the wall! I thought it was kind of 50's looking so I copied the idea.

The TT's you saw at the radio station were 16" "transcription" turntables-they could be used to play records up to 16" diameter. These were used in the days before "cart" machines and digital audio.A well equipped radio station had disc recorder and the blank "Audiodiscs" to record on.They would record spots,promos and other annoucements on them.The agency where I work used these into the early 70's.they used to have several disc recorders.Have some of the transscription discs. Turntables to play these were made by Gates Radio(one of the larger suppliers of radio-TV broadcast equipment-now under the name Harris)and RCA.also they supplied the long tonearms for the records.Have serviced many of these machines.Looking for one to use at home.Oh Yes-skating rinks(later discos) were another user of the 45 RPM "doughnuts"A skating rink in the alexandria Va area had a pipe organ and organist to play music for the skaters.It was closed down,the organ sold to a collector. The building was demolished.Visited it once-was a WONDERFUL place-even just to listen to the music.They also had TT's as well.It seemed like they used the organ more.

Wurli's
Right, the 63-67 Wurli had just a small window where you could see the record playing, but you couldn't see the carousel. The Americana machines just make me cringe because you can't see them at all. The Seeburg LPC1 and Rock-Ola Psychedellic were the first to have a non-visible system :-( . They're MY records and I want to see them as well as hear.
You're right about Seeburg, they boom. The V-200 had like a 5 speaker system in it. Very high end for the 50s.
