Motor Speed
The motor is an AC motor, a DC motor would have been fine. I misspoke. I previously covered this issue in a video about a wire recorder and one called ‘How to get 120v 60Hz in the U.K.’
Slides
There are various ways to improve the appearance of the images on the faded slides by scanning them in and then manipulating them in editing packages. However getting them back into a format that could be read by the machine again would be much trickier, and more trouble than it’s worth.
Mechanism
It’s a ‘Geneva Drive’

@@puckcat22679 If any author would write anything negative about Churchill mismanagement of the British Raj (which caused a preventable fammine killing 20 million people) in 1946, in any article or newspaper, that person would simply loose their freedom. Stalin was an aurhoritarian monster, and his mesures also killed millions of people, im only saying that Churchill was not better, lets not kidd ourselves. Yes Stalin had a cult of personality and killed those who did not like him, Churchill didn´t had such an image, but if you disagree with the British goverment in surtain aspects, then an ideological aparatus as strong as the soviet one would send you away to a penal colony far fron London.

@@thesandwichslayer9948 you can get custom lathe-cut records for about $50 or so. I have a lot of experience with 16mm, using a movie camera would be VERY difficult to get a one-frame image. However, there were a number of "subminiature" cameras from the 1960s that took stills on 16mm film, so you could do that! So theoretically if anyone wanted to spend the time and effort to do it, you could have a matching slide strip and record for about $100 or so!

Sort of like ViewMaster, but with bad audio and blurry images. At least with ViewMaster, those old vintage reels had some really crisp images on them - they also got terrible by the end of that era... so many companies cut corners on quality and lost market share.

Thus I was lucky to get a General Electric Show N Tell machine at Christmas...even had a built in AM radio...thanks mom and dad for the deluxe model. Really enjoyed it. Down side was the speaker is on the side of the machine and the sound does not have a lot of treble thus making it a little difficult to understand the dialogue of some of the stories. Even though the machine has 78 RPM speed there is only an LP needle...no flip over cartridge. I still have the machine in my parent's attic. Big part of my childhood. Fun toy!

Yeah, but the movie ended happily and the butler got what he deserved at least. There was also a lot of fun parts about the movie. But, it's still a pretty weird and dark topic for a children's record though. Especially the way they recorded Edgar's cruel intentions, in a creepy matter-of-fact monotone and then immediately afterwards Madame says she trusts him. I wouldn't trust him. I also feel that way about the Winston Churchill record, that was about WW2 (although it was more strange that it was created for a kid's entertainment system than creepy ). I don't know of any children who would even be interested in that type of stuff anyway.

In the late 60s/early 70s, we owned a genuine GE "Deluxe" Show 'N Tell. I'm not really sure what the difference was from the regular model though I suspect that the Deluxe was built more to be a piece of AV equipment. The bit about rolling back the turntable awakened a vague memory that the old ones had an index mark on the turntable which you were supposed to line up as part of loading the record and film strip. Watching the changes in the amount and type of programming over the years as well as the apparently quality decline reminded me a bit of the rise and fall of the ViewMaster.

Very disappointing that the film used in Show N" Tell has turned to pink. The reason is... most films back in the 1960s were using the Eastmancolour format, which turns to pink over time, due to the poor colour dyes during the process. Compared to Technicolour, the colour dyes are permanent. But since Technicolour has gone expensive in the 1950s, most companies use the cheaper process, which is known as Eastmancolour. :\

@ethanpoole3443 6 лет назад

The good news, though, is that if you have a film scanner and software that supports ICE^3 (ICE cube) you can fully recover the original color despite the photos having turned pink. I have tons of old Brownie style color photos shot by my grandfather, and other family, that had all turned pink due to the red and blue dyes degrading, but fortunately a Nikon LS-8000 film scanner and software will restore the original color in your digitized scans of the photos, it just adds a little added processing time (which is almost nothing with modern CPUs, but was much greater with the original mid-90s Pentium II 400 and 128MB that was state of the art at the time I bought that scanner).

I seem to recall, in my very distant, hazy memory of the early-to-mid 1960s, a system that was much more scholastically oriented that we had for a few years that was very similar but different from Show 'N Tell. It was less entertainment and more lesson-based and found in, well, classrooms. I kind of think that it didn't have a record but, somehow, the film and audio were integrated into a single cartridge and were synchronized and required no other fiddling. I remember finding it fairly impressive. I should note that I was blown completely away a few years later when my junior high school acquired the very first Sony B/W video camera and tape recorder, about 1971. That was the most exciting and stunning experience of my school years, which doesn't speak well for my school or my academic experience.

The "Pop Goes The Weasel" tune at 4:15 is played by seemingly familiar musicians... Likely The Wrecking Crew in Los Angeles. They played on many a television theme song and movie scores throughout the 1960s and 80s.

Very cool contraption. I'm not sure how it is in the UK, but in my youth, pointing out the scariness of a firefighter's mask was integral to teaching young children about fire safety. Beats me as to why.

@hallerd 6 лет назад

It's the same in the US. It's so the kids aren't scared and hide from the firefighters if they need to be rescued.

@Sam-lr9oi 6 лет назад

Oh whoops, forgot to mention that's where I'm from besides "Not UK." I really try to not slip into the assumption of Americanism that happens online. And yeah for sure, maybe it's reason gained with age, but given the choice between monster and fire; I'm going for that monster every time, fuck fire.

@hallerd 6 лет назад

The bigger culprit is smoke, and not visible scary flames.

@Sam-lr9oi 6 лет назад

Yeah, I meant the fire as in the greater situation beyond the flames, it also means a general lack of oxygen and heat that can be damaging. Bit of a silly thing to be pedantic about though, isn't it?

This reminds me of something my elementary school had. The Borg-Warner System 80. It had a full size LP, and a film strip with punch holes in it. It had a few buttons to press on the front, and would quiz you on different subjects, English, Math, etc. and you would answer the questions with the buttons. I’d love to see one of those again!

My church had one of these with several bible story records. This was the late 80s early 90s when I would mess around with it. Going by the pictures on the albums you showed it looks like the one my church had was one from the 1960s or 1970s.

@ChristopherSobieniak 6 лет назад

9:13 Didn't help these things had to be timed just right to go with the amount of pictures each slide had. A filmstrip/slide presentation in school would've used 'bleeps' to tell the teacher (or kid running the machine) when it switch to the next picture, and those pictures didn't have to be timed as accurate as this.

The closest to this that I remember from the 90s, was cassette tapes that came with picture books, and the tape made a special sound effect to tell you when you had to change page. Not as fun as this but it was foolproof.

You need a PURE sinewave inverter. The inverter you're using is a modified square wave, which can cause problems with induction motors. That is why you were getting that obnoxious buzz as the motor expects a pure sine wave

In ye olde Japan you'd get storytellers who would tell a story while flipping through a series of pictures, or who tell the story while two other people roll along a giant scroll. You still see them in historical-themed theme parks. Never mind analogue, these things are live! And ye olde Britain had it's magic lanterns too, of course. I can also remember going to Wookey Hole caves in the 90's, and they had a retro amusement arcade where most of the machines were mechanical, and ran on old pennies. I thought the "d" meant the coins were called "dimes".

@cowboyfrankspersonalvideos8869 6 лет назад

Looks like they were using the cheaper Ektachrome or another equivalent brand of film. Ektachrome used chemical dyes of which the blue dye faded rather fast. The more expensive Kodak Kodachrome used natural dyes and the earliest films still have their original vibrant colors, providing they have been kept in a good environment.

@gdavisloopfta380 3 месяца назад

Actually, it's Eastmancolor print film, the same as used to make the positive prints of movies. A lot of it exhibits this color fade. Ektachrome from the 1960s is fine. The problem with using Kodachrome isn't the cost, but it simply isn't designed for duplication - the beauty of Kodachrome is in the original!

@eformance 6 лет назад

You could purchase an uninterruptable power supply from the US, charge it up, then use that to power your 60hz devices. APC UPSes are generally very good quality. Though I'm uncertain if they sync to the mains frequency or have that programmed in.

@greenaum 6 лет назад

As somebody mentioned, the output waveform on a UPS isn't much good. Arguably it's going to be worse than a specialised frequency convertor like our guy used. PC power supplies can take any old shitty waveform and manage fine. AV equipment, even toys, not so much. You could hook up an old-style rotary convertor. You'd get a 50Hz motor and a 60Hz motor, both made for the same RPM speed. Bolt the shafts together, then plug one into the relevant mains supply. The other will act as generator. Only problem with this might be, that motor speed is a function of the number of rotor windings, and the mains frequency. So might be American motors naturally run 20% faster than UK ones. Or it might be possible to get two of the same speed. This should give a very good waveform. Voltage might be a bit low but that's not a big problem. They still make rotary convertors for factories. You can do it electronically, but using real rotating coils comes with the least side-effects.

They pretty much just read the book that came with it, and chimed when was time to turn the page. This takes those to the next level, the book (artwork) that goes with the story here are displayed on the machine. Quite neat find!
