We start with the vintage projector we procure through various camera and antiques dealers nationwide. It has been sitting in an attic or basement for 50+ years and is mechanically not working and non-functioning. We lovingly visually restore it with the following:
- Removal of nicotine, mold, mildew with various solvents
- Dissemble and clean the lenses and optics
- Metal polishing using various cleaners and polishing agents
- Application of a lacquer clear coat
- Metal film reels are refurbished and painted
- Please note: Each light is a little different and will not match the pictures exactly. The camera while clean and complete will have 50 to 80 years of wear and patina that gives it awesome character! Think of all the memories the thing captured. Contact us with questions.
Story Summary
Kodascope G-Series projector was the ultimate machine for the home theatre in the early 1950s. It was by far the most expensive home projector Kodak offered at the time. It showed 16mm film using the best optics available. The lens allowed for projection of clear crisp images onto a special silver screen. The drive mechanism was especially engineered to eliminate jittery pictures and replicate the movie theatre experience.
Projector Description
The G-series II 16 mm Kodascope projector was released in the late 1940s. It featured great optics to project clear images onto huge screens without having the projector far away which was a common problem. 16mm film produced much clearer and richer images than the smaller 8mm film. It was much more expensive to buy and develop.
