[OT] Film Projectors at ReStore
All, There was an assortment of film projectors, in excellent condition, at the ReStore, Frederick, MD: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1-7Fw9ULlWWembNnpQPEEk3-NYM_aur90 Really brought back memories, for me, but I don’t own any film. If anyone is interested, let me know and I can pick them up. - Alex
Interesting. I think of them as having used building materials and furnishings. Do they also generally (or occasionally) have electronics? Computers? Sent from my iPhone

Very cool! I scored 3 x Casio video projectors from the one in Chantilly VA for $40 each. They're laser diode based light engines so good for 20,000 hours supposedly. Color isn't best for home theatre but useful for events and such. Not the brightest but they work. There is a recent company that started selling 8mm film carts for cameras and the price includes development and 4K film scanning. I think Kodak brought back Super 8. With so much content having VHS noise filters applied to it on the internet today in the Non-linear editing software it makes sense that the demand is there. I'm glad they are latching on to the movement! Retro is in.
Nice, some real vintage 8MM and Super 8 projectors. If you are in to film collecting NEVER use a Bell and howell Autoload 16mm projector on old film, they where designed to be able to be operated by 12 year olds. In the film trade they where known as Autoshreaders, they are extremely hard on film. RCA 400 series projectors are some of the gentlest on film, along with Kodak 16MM Telecine projectors.
