tom that is a good idea i have done that with ambrotypes and calotypes just make sure you say who is in them for future descendants zono -Original Message- From: Tom Jordan tom...@msn.com To: 'Antique Phonograph List' phono-l@oldcrank.org Sent: Tue, Nov 13, 2012 12:49 am Subject: Re: [Phono-L] Other Interests I know that this is really off topic, so let me begin by saying so sorry, but preserving Family history is very important to me. Last year, I took 23 reels of 8mm movies that we found in my Grandmother's basement when she passed away, to Alexander's Photo in Des Moines and had them converted to DVD. I then ripped thekm to my computer (Windows Vista premium home edition 64 bit) used Windows movie maker to bring the reels together and selected my favorite music to add a soundtrack. Old timey music, soundtrack from O Brother where art thou and such. I burned them to DVD's with my Lightscribe DVD burner and burned the family crest into the DVD's along with a personalized name of each Family member under the Family Crest. I put together a few family photos and made artwork to go into the front of the DVD cases. Now all of my Aunts and Uncles, Parents, Cousins and my Sister have a copy so that the family history can be preserved. It cost me a few hundred dollars, but the memories will live on!

But it has a tendency to damage films. Besides, it would be a huge amount of work. And DVD's are considered of date these days. Best way is to have someone who has professional 8mm to MP3 video converter equipment. Yes, you can buy a machine like that for, uh, $15K or something, but is easier to let the professionals do it for you. Have you heard of Peggybank.com? I just sent about 100 8mm films to to Peggybank to have them converted. Check out their website, and read the recent article by Walt Mossberg of the Wall Street Journal on Peggybank. Do a Google search on Peggybank Wall Street Journal. Even better than getting MP3 files videos for your computer (or if you insist, old fashioned DVD's if you pay extra), they give you a free webpage at peggybank.com where they post ALL videos and still pictures that they digitize for you. So instead of emailing my 100 MP3 videos to my relatives, I only have to give them the link to my webpage! I believe friends will also be able to download the videos, in addition to watching them, but I'm not sure (mine aren't ready yet).

I recently acquired a Bell and Howell 10ms to transfer my old home movies to DVD and found that the supply spindle on the projector is broken. Just wondering if anyone may have one lying around that they want to part out. Thanks, John Outside of a dog, a book is a man's best friend.

Thanks.

I have Triumph B with a horizontal carriage on it and a Cygnet horn and there is indeed a slip connector but As I have not used it for 10+ years I am at a loss how I had it setup. It was touchy with the spring suspension and I suspect it will be even a larger pain with the solid hanger.

Steve Hello, On the early cygnet horns without the springs in the suspension for the small carriage you need the metal tizit. Is this the same for the horizontal carriage?
