David. Hats off to your superb video on how to use the B&H 253 AR! Ours is a 253 R, so only difference is ours has no "belts" to drive the spindles. Just finished viewing some 60-year-old 8 mm family movies! Your detailed video enabled me to go from hesitant for fear of damaging precious film to being confident enough to relax and enjoy some fun memories! Thanks sooo much from me and my family!

Thanks for your kind feedback. It is anxiety-provoking when you are dealing with precious, one-of-a-kind film from your past, so I am glad I helped you to be able to enjoy it.

Thanks so much for this! And you even told us how to open the darn case! LOL Something other videos neglect to do! Thanks again.

I'm just a small step up from a beginner and have had those frustrations of watching videos that assume you know all sorts of things, when in fact, you are brand new to it. Glad you liked the video and it was helpful

How do I get over my fear of ruining the machine and the film? My grandpa passed away and I want to watch his old films but am scared I’m going to break everything. This video gave me a lot of confidence though…still scared to start!

I'm really glad if this video was helpful. It can be frustrating when you're a newcomer to something like this and you have a hard time even knowing where to start! I hope you have fun with your projector!

@maryjofischer9196 3 года назад

Well done! Thanks so much for your amazing detail and for repeating each step. We've been trying to play our old film from the fifties but we tend to burn the film. If your detailed explanation will try again. Thanks

@davidk4145 3 года назад

Happy to help - hope it works for you. Watching old films can really be a lot of fun.

@@davidk4145 Over the past year or so we've tried to use my dad's projector several times to watch all of the films he took of us as kids. We always gave up because we became so frustrated trying to thread the film correctly. Today it worked! Your tips on You Tube made all the difference. Thanks for the memories from some Baby Boomer kids :)

@paulhenderson4992 10 месяцев назад

great video. Thank you for sharing. A lot of great information. I have discovered a similar model (221) from relatives and I need to find a belt. Do you have any suggestions?

@kendrahawthorne8427 Год назад

Thank you so much for making this video. My husband bought me one and now I know what to do and a basic how it works so I don't mess it up. Now I just have to find a blank reel and a replacement power cord and a movie to play. I'm so excited. Any advice on what to clean it with? It's pretty dirty, I think people smoked while watching movies with it the dust is sticky brown on the outside.

@davidk4145 Год назад

Glad the video was helpful - hope you get the rest of what you need to get it up and running. In terms of cleaning I would start with a damp (not wet) rag with a bit of soap for the metal parts and then dry thoroughly. If you are going to clean the lens use special lens cleaning fluid and special cloth (like you might have if you clean your eyeglasses)

@BADBIKERBENNY 8 месяцев назад

I have a similar model for Super 8.

@lucasfelipe396 2 года назад

Hello! From what year is this model? And does the Super 8 movies work on this equipament?

@davidk4145 2 года назад

This model does NOT play Super 8 film. I am not sure of the date and can not find a year on the camera.

@heatherrenton2086 3 года назад

Thank you so much for this how to video. The projector I have belonged to my Dad and maybe my Grandpa?! The model is a bit different it is the 24R. Can you tell me how rewind the movie back onto the original reel?

@davidk4145 3 года назад

Go to 11:08 to see how I rewind this machine. Not sure if it is the same for your model. Thanks for watching!

@99neworleans 10 месяцев назад

Hi there, is it possible to take apart that adjustable lens, I took mine off and it looks cloudy and smudges on the inside, haven't used it in 12 years, thanks for your time and help

@davidk4145 10 месяцев назад

Unfortunately I am not sure and I do not want to give you bad advice.

@steveseifer6784 Год назад

What is the lamp number for this projector? Can they vary from one projector to another? Steve

@davidk4145 Год назад

The bulb says CZX 500W 115-120V. Mine was a GE bulb. If you search for it on eBay a bulb will come up. I do not know enough to say for sure whether you could use a different bulb but I would guess a bulb with the same specs from a different company may work (but I personally wouldn't try something that does not have the same specs). If somebody else knows better - please comment.
