Vintage 16mm Projectors

By: karl donald

Do you have memories of years gone by, recorded to 16mm film, that you want to watch again? Back in the day 16mm projectors were great and all around use being used to capture everyday life and special occasions to make home movies. As the years passed by the 16mm projector fell out of the loop and most people have turned to digital. In this day and age, it is such a quaint and nostalgic experience to be able to watch films on an old 16mm projector.

It was in the days of the Great Depression when 16mm projectors made their debut in the world, and they were the main attraction for many moviegoers. The earliest versions of the projector were produced by Bell and Howell and Eastman Kodak, whom turned out to be the most influential voices in the business. Once sound was introduced the projectors had to run at least 24 feet of film per second, but in those days the technology only have to push the film at about 17 feet per second.

16mm projectors in the 1970s used tubular lamps, sometimes called "Mazda lamps", most often. 750 watts were needed to power these and they could reach up to 6 inches in some situations. Succeeding these lamps were new, tungsten-halogen lamps which were much more efficient and even became the standard after some time. Only 250 watts were needed to power these lamps and they shined even brighter than the previous 750 watt lamps of the past decades. In regards to the size of reels, 16mm projectors could have up to 2,000 feet while the grander 6,000 foot reels were kept exclusively for specialists.

In the past ten years, searching for a used 16mm projector in decent condition has become a much easier ordeal. Before the internet came along, 16mm projectors were pretty rare and difficult to find, so it was hard to play all those old home movies. Many would frequent second-hand shops, garage sales and flea markets with the dream of finding a projector, or repairment parts, which was just as difficult. It appeared as if this unique way to watch movies was dead and gone, except for die-hard enthusiasts and collectors. However, more people began to take interest in the projector once the Internet, and especially eBay, became available to the public. That meant selling the 16mm projectors that had been sitting in the attic so long, and were in perfect condition. Now 16mm projectors are not only popular collector's items; they're in demand as well for the people who have old home movies still laying around.

For those of you out there who are seeking for a way to watch those old family film reels again, attaining your own used projector is just a click away. Go to eBay, or another website that sells used items, and you'll be able to find used 16mm projectors at a great deal, allowing you to travel back in time by enjoying your old home movies!
