Here is a new video !
The Movie-Jecktor Company of New York manufactured home movie projectors, as well and grammophone/projector combinations in the mid-1930s.
They also created short films to be played in these projectors, with images printed on parchment paper, starring popular comic strips and animated characters, such as Mickey Mouse and Buck Rogers.
This particular model worked with a lightbulb and a handcrank (that was missing).
The Movie-Jecktor Co. produced just one film starring Alley and Ooola.
It was a really huge work I thought it would be easier but I wanted to do it well.
Some parts were missing I've had to create new ones.
Please watch till the end to see this rare movie projector in action !
By supporting the channel you help me make more of these video and find more amazing items.
I hope you'll enjoy this restoration.
Oh one last thing... To people saying this is fake, artificially aged. Go on eBay and check the recent sales ! :)
Thanks a lot for watching !

This was wonderful, I've never seen one of these before. My grandma had an old cinematograph when I was a kid. It only had 1 reel cartoon of betty boop with it. She only let us watch it once because she didn't want it to get ruined, so it was stored away in a safe. years later, her house flooded and it got ruined but she donated it to a museum along with the reel. This really brings back those great memories. Thanks!

Only thing I plan on donating in this life is my dead body to whoever wants it after I’m gone….. I don’t mind donating to help animals though. Anything else your gonna be paying large for.

@Anthropologe Жыл бұрын

Thanks for this input. It‘s a reminder that we should enjoy and let others enjoy the things we own as long as we can, and not keep them away in storage for somebody else, or for it to be destroyed like in this case. I hope to never fall into that mentality your grandmother had. Would rather want everyone to create memories to keep for the rest of their lives.

That was wonderful, what a great result! I found it somewhat emotionally moving. I guess it's because of what that projector did in its 'first lifetime', entertaining countless children (and adults). Thanks for bringing it back to life.

That cowboy cat is too adorable! Finding the original logo image and making a sticker was the cherry on top. I would be so interested in restoration channels making videos about what led them to restoration- because I look at these videos and think, not only do these people have thousands of dollars in machinery to do these restorations, but also know how to use them very well. You guys get into everything from a bit of carpentry, a bit of electric work, mechanical work for sure, and even some graphic design. I assume that takes many years to learn and probably a kind and patient mentor? One of the things that worries me in recent years is the loss of knowledge of good craftsmanship for future generations. Making online courses for all the different knowledge you guys have I think would be of interest to many. I also wonder if you sell what you restore afterward. Must be hard to sell something you worked so diligently on, even though I’m sure the money is good.

RESTORATION??? Give your head a shake.. This was a destruction of an antique.. You dont restore antiques by putting a 20th century paint job on them.. You leave the age, and the patina, and repair or replace the broken pieces.. They used Lacquer paint, not a hydrostatic plastic that is melted on. This is frigging disgusting

I sometimes do begin to wonder just; how many American adults; of all ages who were children, may ever remember this contraption? The people who were born from the mid 1960s, entire 70s, to the mid 80s, don't even much of this. Of what really existed. Ah yes this was, right long before our time, since we now live in a different era.
