Let's Watch A Private 1965 Disneyland 8mm Film If I Can Fix This Yashica 8mm Projector A R T

ladies and gentlemen this is Joe's classic video games back with another cool amateur repair Time video for you this evening uh I did a video a couple weeks ago about or I guess it was a week ago about some uh film that I found at the flea market and bought for $20 off of a guy and it was a bunch of home movie reels uh from the 50s from a family and they all ended up the flea market and I'm bought them and we watched a couple of them and it was kind of fun and people said that they would like to see some more so I figured I'd film another video I got a problem though I'm trying to find a good working projector or fix a projector so I have one in particular that's a Disney um a a film that appears to be filmed at Disneyland back in the day in the 60s or the early 70s and um so it's a super eight so I'm trying to play that so we can watch it but the problem is my super eight projector doesn't work right so I've ordered some parts and I've been working on it so this is where we are so far so I'm ordering more parts more parts are on the way don't worry about it but I have a couple other projectors that I haven't tested out yet and we're going to test those out but they're not super eight they're just 8 millimeter if we can get them to work I have a whole all most of those films were 8 mm so we can watch them uh we just can't watch the Super Eight ones so I picked this one up at a an estate sale for like five bucks that's more like it so it's a yashika it's still in the Box made in Japan I think it's probably common to find these still in the box though because you know you didn't use them that much you'd get them out play the movies a little bit and then put them back so this particular one let's see what's going on with it has a dust cover pretty cool and then here comes the projector if I can get it out with one hand there's a bunch of crap in there let's see what we got this is the takeup Reel looks like it must came with it it's the same name this is the power cord interesting plug there that's all good you know the whole thing with these is if the bulb's bad you're kind of in trouble freaking box there we go we got it let's see what this sucker looks like it's beautiful look at it a yashika 8p3 8 volt lamp 50 wat that's how they did it so there's a fuse there so you know the whole thing is is the lamp burnt out off reverse lamp off forward lamp so I guess like if say if you want to go forward to play it you do that and then if you do that it's still going forward but playing has the lamp on as well okay and this is if you want to stop it still slow and fast so that's slow that's fast all right boy really is a good looking projector uh and then on the front we have uhoh it is a super eight wow fake news regular or super wow if we can get this thing to work we can watch our Disneyland movie okay what have we got here oh look these are the spindles for to make it a super eight wow to set for regular film open the sprocket shoes and snap regular sprockets onto shafts until the fully locked in place turn front selector knob fully to regular important shoes must always be open when installing or removing sprockets open sprocket shoes that's the RS I guess and snap regular sprockets on the shafts until fully locked in place okay where are they're talking about here okay wow what a cool little design so if we took these out oh we got to we got to open them first did that open them yes I believe so and then it says they snap oh super this might be an awesome little projector so the problem with the other one is a belt problem but we're waiting on parts like I said oh look it's got the little adapter for the uh for the spindle too okay I guess we should check to see if the bulb works first but I think one of our other ones had a similar bulb so we might be able to get away with that well I'm got to tell you oh yeah there's the other one I got to tell you this is a pretty decent little setup if it works wonder if the belt is messed up or anything put this adapter up there Auto reel hm well what do you think is this going to work what does this stuff do there's that uh that doesn't seem great uhoh that might be a problem so there's a little lever here would there be one there to and what in the world does that do might have to do with loading the film or something oh that's the focus probably this up here I don't know what that's for maybe some kind of flash or something why would you need a flash on the projector I don't know folks it was just coming to me um yashika all right well I guess we're ready to try to turn it on let's see if I can get it to shine in the Box was the manual and this little doll probably from the 70s or something does it say something on the back on no uh and then I found this I don't know if this is from it or not maybe that came off just a second ago whenever the little lever thing broke off or came off but I did not find my little lever but let's see what the little lever is Film Supply reel I figured that much out Film Supply reel arm I also could discern that film entrance is up here projection zoom lens film type selector the film Outlet comes out here so it goes through those little arm things we were looking at that top piece is a trimmer that makes sense lamp house cover Looper for reverse projection are they pointing to here I think no that's where good that's the film entrance so that thing Looper for reverse projection is that little thing that we're missing focusing knob Looper for forward projection our Looper might give us a problem uh framing lever film outlet fuse compartment cover voltage adjuster film takeup reel AC cord socket tilt control leg tilt control lever speed control knob steel projection lever control knob okay it says checking voltage before setting the projector check the voltage appearing in the voltage adjuster if it corresponds exactly to that of your electric line if not connect the adjuster so that the correct voltage is readable 110 115 125 220 230 240 115 I've got almost 125 but I'm going to leave it at 115 and then this little plug goes in there you can tell it's just Japanese CU it's made really well like they went through all that trouble to make that little plug that fits in there perfect it's just weird weird and then it has its own polarized plug here that will only go one way but it goes that way very nicely um okay so there's the Tilt lever you pull it up tilt it how you want it and then you push it back down and it stays like that pretty cool okay we are off we're going to let rip potato chip now if this thing will not work I got another one we can try too the problem is I don't have belts for most of these so we'll do it like this so we can see what's going on I don't have belts for these so I could either start ordering a bunch of belts or I could wait till that polyurethane belt comes in that I've ordered so I've ordered some polyurethane belting material that you can use on anything let's see boy she's trying something's moving something's humming it doesn't like it so far let's see if the lamp works the lamp does work oh Lord it looks like there's a rubber band in there let's see if it likes backwards any better is trying all right let me uh let me mess with it see if I can get it to move all right you're going to be you're going to be thankful that you watched the video I have found the bling so here's the voltage adjustment this thing has chains in it I'm unplugged by the way look at this chain chain this is incredible that one won't move probably because it's just there's something turned off or something so this is the motor we need to get to move so it can move this belt here and make it all do what it wants to do okay if I turn this by hand it is moving that chain so the reason you can't move it by hand is just because it's captive or whatever you know it's fine so this chain is going to move the feed and I guess this chain probably comes into play when you put it in reverse or forward I might have it in reverse now let's turn I'm unplugged let's turn the knob and see what happens no none of that moves h eight and Super Eight okay so it looks like we're seized up which usually is because the thing's just been sitting and you can free it up if I mess with it a little bit let me see if I can free it up all right so I messed with this on and off for a couple days so I probably spend another hour hour and a half on it so here's what it was doing when you plug it in and turn it on the motor was humming usually that's because it's locked up but usually they're locked up because uh dried up oil or something so like if you look right here see all that yellow crap that's something that dried up on it so I took the belt off of it which they had this on it so this green one may that may have been the original belt I don't know or it could just be they're both rubber bands I know this one is so that stretched out a little bit it wasn't quite ready so I took that off and this this thing just didn't turn very easily you see now it does but it didn't so I took it all apart look at how they did the the uh brushes it's kind of cool Japanese made of course the brushes were fine so ultimately what the problem was was right up in here I didn't film it all CU it just I'm not this is amateur repair time people I didn't know if I'd be able to fix it so I kept messing with it so inside here is a bearing the shaft goes into it of course all right and so what was going on never mind that nylon piece there what was going on was this bearing is able to move a little bit right and it was just off just a little bit and it the grease had dried in it so I just kept oiling it oiling it oiling it with 20 we 3 in one oil and eventually got it to free up pretty good I've seen um I believe I've seen radio TV phononut talk about that that basically once you get the the rotor back in that you kind of have to set the bearing so I think I think I've seen him hit it with something like hit it with a screwdriver or something until it gets to where it spins pretty good I didn't do that I just kept messing with it and eventually it got to where it's spinning just fine when I took that end off this end was SP just fine so of course and I oiled the crap out of it but then I cleaned up a lot of the extra oil because I started thinking if I get oil all over the rotor there that might not be good um so I carefully put it all back together and I took the belt there's a whole other video you haven't seen yet of me trying to fix that other projector so I ordered this belt and it you'll see in the other video basically I couldn't use the belt so because I could couldn't use the belt I thought you know it looks a little too small but maybe I can stretch it and it'll work oh yeah oh yeah I think it's going to work now people look at the chains [Music] moving and you go the other way in the other two move I think it might work for us so I'm going to put it back together this fan cover goes on it um put it all back together and I'm going to see if I can clean the lens off a little bit it looks like there's a whole bunch of dust on the L all right folks so I believe I've got it I think now last time I did this I had somebody say that's not the proper way to film a video yeah I know I know okay we're just we're having fun people okay so this one we're going to test one this is a super eight it says Christmas parade 1970 so this is some families videos that I picked up at the flea market so let's see what happened at the Christmas parade in 1970 maybe I can figure out what town it [Music] is we have a band and [Music] [Music] cheerleaders this ain't the Christmas [Music] parade looks like the North Carolina state flag can't tell but I think yeah North Carolina state flag [Music] obviously not Christmas they keep focusing on this girl that's probably her parents you know Huskies it's the huskys whichever school that is I can't quite read her shirt I mean her jacket there I would guess Gastonia just guessing I think the uh I think I saw a Gastonia address somewhere whoa magn box sign I think we're getting close to the end of our video yep all right let me see where the huskys are all right so this says 1970 Christmas parade I don't know why that would say that does that say June maybe so maybe they had such a thing as a June Christmas parade but if they did you'd think there would have been Christmas decorations so I don't know and the they it could just be that they put ended up putting the film on the wrong uh excuse me on the wrong reel or something or U or what I don't know but if you watched the previous video um then you saw the Christmas one the Christmas video that was from I believe I kept saying it was 1956 but I think we ended up watching the one that was actually from 1959 so that was 1959 Christmas and if you re-watch that video there are three kids in the video there's a uh it looks like you see the uh grandfather and the grandmother it looks like the grandmother's a pretty lady then you see uh three children and you see Mom mom's a pretty lady and the two little girls of course are cute um but they look like they're five or six years old or one of them looks five or six years old and she has kind of reddish brown hair or kind of goldish red hair and then the majorette that we just saw has a little bit darker hair but it looks like that could be the same girl and if you think if it was 1959 she was maybe five or six this was 11 years later in 1970 she would be 16 17 years old which was probably that girl there so that's probably the the girl all grown up as a majorette in high school I figured out the high school is in Gastonia it's the hunter hus Huskies uh Hunter hus is a high school and it's still in Gastonia and it's the oldest um High School building still around so the school's still around that lady that we were just watching the majorette would be probably 70 years old now now um so my hope is is that they copied all of these films I don't know how they all ended up at the flea market like I said the guy buys State cell stuff so I'm somebody passed away unfortunately it could have been that lady I hope you know whoever it did it was a tragedy of course but um someone passed away and all of these film all this film ended up at the flea market so it's interesting but that should be the the same family it's all from the same lot so that should that's probably one of those two girls from that first video okay so I have two long ones one of them says Disneyland so without any further Ado we're going to watch Disneyland It's a super eight I believe um I guess oh you can tell by the the the real yeah it's a superate the superate that's the the bigger real hole spindle hole so let me uh wind it up and we'll see if that actually is Disneyland that's not a Christmas parade so this might not be Disneyland there is a second one as well that's unmarked all right folks Disneyland uh I I will just say that when I was a kid um we grew up country we used the word Disneyland interchangeable with Disney World so this could be Disneyland or Disney World we'll have to try to figure that out too uh Gastonia is in North Carolina it's on the east coast that would be Disney World but some of these videos some of these films appear to be of overseas um where they traveled a lot so here we go I'm going too slow let's speed it up NOP I'm not going too slow that's just how it shot um that would be Disneyland Wouldn't It Disney World I think the Castle's done differently okay we got to try to figure out the year too there's a mermaid couple mermaids okay I would say 60s yeah look at the look at the girl's clothing [Music] so that's probably the family maybe the two sisters and the brother Maybe [Music] so those girls probably 11 or 12 and in the previous video they looked five or six in the 1959 so this would be maybe 1965 Maybe [Music] [Music] tomorrow [Music] land all right we need you Disney experts is this Disneyland or Disney World it says Disneyland I think that's probably correct the I think the parks are very similar but there's enough differences that anybody that knows much about them can probably tell just by looking at [Music] it what is that Casey junor Railroad so I'm guessing 1965 that's a car that was a gear shift of the car Sequoia National Park surely that's California General Sherman tree o there's four kids now but there were two ladies in the other shot so it could be like the aunt came along or something maybe that's a cousin or there could be they could have had four children maybe that's Grandpa largest living thing they think it's 35 to 4,000 years old it's 100 ft around at the base wow I think it weighs a million pounds H crazy so this is Dad and Mom I think we have made it to a church somewhere everybody's dressed up for church oh is this um H somebody ought to recognize that bridge wherever it's at welcome Shriners is that Grandpa and Grandma I think we're about out maybe a little bit more I didn't attempt to focus it much that's about all we got it's the Golden Gate Bridge I went across that when I was a kid oh there's a Corvair that was about a 65 Corvair no there's a 64 cor they changed it in 65 I forgot about that that's that there we here we go all right well that's what we had of Disneyland and I believe that was Disneyland cuz you know the Golden Gate Bridge is near uh Disneyland it's not near Disney World so that's interesting H kind of cool seeing somebody's videos like that I've got some of my own of our family but um I've got some of us at Disney World you know what I've got some I got a bunch of pictures of us at Disneyland but I've got some films of us at Disney world but um very cool so I don't know the family um H I don't know I I think they probably copied them or something probably a long time ago and these were probably up in the attic or something and Grandma had them and passed away and um the box was damaged and everybody figured oh we've got copies of those you know blah blah blah blah blah so then the estate company comes in and they buy all of you know everything and these are in there and they think well those things you know they don't really have much value and you know the truth is old fil old home movies like this don't really have a lot of value um financially they're they're all over eBay you can buy lots of these um I thought I had it wound around I did not all right I got to wind it back all right folks so there you go I hope you enjoyed it I'll do another one when I fix that other uh projector and we'll watch this other 10 minute long one and see what's on there maybe they went somewhere else interesting we got to think of something to call the Family respectful people they the family you know they had four children some of them I'm sure are still around and um but we need to think of something to call the family so we'll have something to refer to them by but I hope you enjoyed it I know I did make sure to leave your comments down below I can't wait to read them make sure to give us a thumbs up for taking the trouble to film it for you I think this yashika 8p3 RS is a good one folks if you find one of these you might want to get it that's a that's a cool projector once you fix the motor being seized up yeah yeah yeah what no thing wasn't that big of a deal but leave your comments down below like I said in the previous video keep them respectful you know I don't want to hear any comments this is such a beautiful family you can't make too many bad comments but I don't want to hear any comments about somebody in the band's weight or something like that you know um oh and one little thing that I didn't show The takeup Reel that came with it there were two with it a metal one and this one this one I can't use cuz look how it's smashed so the film won't go in there now it's just plastic so if I could get it to spread back out I could use it this is the one that came with it though but it's the way it was stored it's um squeezed together too much so I don't know I need to figure out a way to stretch that back out but other than that the thing works pretty good I paid like $4 for that thing I did pretty good so leave your comments down below keep them respectful make sure to give us a thumbs up for taking the trouble to film it for you I hope you enjoyed it and uh we'll see you on the next video
