Remington Quiet-Riter Feet
Replaced the 1951 Remington Quiet-Riter's feet with a 3-D printed set, available from Scott at sbierly@gmail.com, for $39.00, and they'll work with other portable Remington's of similar style too (All New, etc.). Wound up showing the new FJA Products green ribbon I'd just transferred into a Smith-Corona Coronet Electric.

Venice, Italy 16mm film
Переглядів 29Рік тому
Found this reel of lost 16mm home footage at Goodwill for .99 cents! Guessing it's circa 1910 to 1920 in age. Venice, Italy, during WWII was ''the very first city on both the German and Allied lists of places that must not be harmed'', which meant that it sustained virtually no bomb damage." This film is a real find!
Krazy Kat in Fun on Ice
Переглядів 118Рік тому
This is a Krazy Kat cartoon called "Fun on Ice," from MCMXIII (1913). It's on a 50ft reel and running on a 16mm projector I'm projecting with a Keystone Moviegraph, model E-946 that uses a 1144 Auto Lamp bulb; which, actually, was an old car headlight bulb in its day! Note: "All films that were published in the United States before 1923 (i.e. they came out in 1922 or earlier and they first appe...
Piano Flipbook - Super 8mm film
Переглядів 372 роки тому
I tried recording the 1922 Quinn-Dex Piano and organ teaching flipbook, which didn't really want to "flip," and it's weak paper pages were actually falling apart; almost impossible to get to turn in sequence. The book is 600 pages (300 to each side, turning it over in-between) and I did a couple runs of each sides' 300 pages, winding up with one good take amoungst each sides' filming. This shor...
Piano and Book
Переглядів 62 роки тому
I acquired an old Quinn-Dex piano learning flip book, 600 pages (300 to each side, turning the book over between sides). It's copywritten in 1921/1922, which is well past the 95 years needed for copywrite expiration; so, it's fair game. I'm all for preservation, so am always trying to "save" some piece of history, sharing it with the world. Let's face it, these old books are getting less and le...

Olivetti Underwood 21
Переглядів 1333 роки тому
Found an Olivetti Underwood 21 at Goodwill, missing (stripped of) all its' keys, but still seemed like a savable unit for the $6.99 price especially because the ribbon spools and hold 'em down nuts are worth that alone! I see, more and more often, that the "key choppers" are ruining machines that aren't even old-school styled glass; leaving a hull of what's left for garbage pick-up, or donating...

Antique Meteor Typewriter
Переглядів 2294 роки тому
The Meteor typewriter was made in Dresden, Germany from 1911-1922, then changed to Vansanta till 1925. The Saxon knitting machine factory was the manufacturer, but in Vansanta years they renamed and moved to the Alberstadt district. The quantity of these typewriters produced is unknown. A Meteor typewriter was used by printers on Wspólna Street, so one wound up in the Warsaw Uprising Museum app...
Stormy Monday (in mono) via 410 Atari Program Recorder
Переглядів 3664 роки тому
Replaced the 2 belts in an Atari 410 program recorder and played some music cassettes through it. Unlike a stereo cassette player, this thing broadcasts differently possibly speed of sound? than a regular player, because it's driven by the computer's brain (vs any non-brained, cassette players). Playing in mono (still utilizing both L & R TV speakers), blues songs that I've heard many times, wh...
Donkey Kong on Atari 400 Computer
Переглядів 774 роки тому
Playing Donkey Kong, on a 40 y/o Atari 8-bit computer, just to the Pie Factory level. Some people are mistaken that the Atari 5200's version of D.K. is the only home version with the Pie Factory level, however, Atari computers (mine's a 400) have had it out well before the Atari 5200 was in existence not to mention it's creation was based off the Atari computer's platform!
