Re: [Phono-L] Other Interests
Got a friend with a lathe? Maybe he or she can cut the head off a shoulder bolt, turn it down a bit and you can glue it in the hole at the end so that you could put a nut on the end to hold the reel in place.

Re: [Phono-L] Special Edition Columbia Record???
Steve, your record sounds like one to benefit widows and orphans because of the subject matter on the label. I'm still not sure of the purpose of my record with Kaiser Wilhelm at the Mozart Music Verein in NY was. I "GOOGLED" Mozart Music Verein New York and found an article from 1894 about the 40th anniversary of this music club. The Verein (club) was started in New York City in 1854 to further the musical interests in the works of Mozart and other contemporary composers. I can't find anything to indicate that this club had anything to do with providing help or care to German war refugees, but obviously this article is less than complete. I'm puzzled about the purpose of the record, except maybe a historical recording of a concert held for Kaiser Wilhelm? Since there were only several hundred members, the demand for this record must have been low and doesn't seem to be a great choice for a fundraiser for war widows and children, since the Kaiser was mostly responsible for t he mayhem created in WWI...Any more ideas?Curt > From: steve_nor...@msn.com > To: phono-l@oldcrank.org > Date: Thu, 15 Nov 2012 13:56:02 -0500 > Subject: Re: [Phono-L] Special Edition Columbia Record??? > > > I have or had one of this series, it shows a widow by a grave with a small > child in her arms and one holding her mothers hand.

Re: [Phono-L] Other Interests
Jim, Thanks for the reply. That Peggyback service sounds like a good deal. I have been converting my videotapes for quite some time now, with more than acceptable results. As it stands right now, I have converted my VHS and 8MM tapes and am beginning on my Hi8 tapes. My process utilizes my Sony DCR-TRV350 to digitize the signal "on the fly" directly to the computer where I capture IN an AVI format. I then edit as necessary and save as an MP4 file. I usually create DVD's to use as backup as well as my computer backups. For my film process, I made sure I got a projector with variable speed to eliminate flicker. I am able to use a video transfer adapter to project the image and capture it on my camcorder, which, because of it's "pass through" capabilities, digitizes the video in real time directly to the computer. The results are then treated to the same process of editing as any other digital file. I also have a slide scanner to convert my slides and 35mm negatives, and the flatbed scanner handles photos very well. As far as being time consuming, yes it is. Everything is done in real time and if you have to go through a film or tape more than once, you are doubling or tripling the running time just to convert it. BUT, I am retired, and this is something to do that I enjoy. Plus, some of my wife's co-workers heard what I am doing and want me to convert their films - For a Fee, so I may be able to pay for the equipment over time. As it is, I've only invested about $100 total, so it's not too bad. Regarding the professional hardware, you are right that it is expensive, however a good telecine adapter can be purchase for under $4k that actually copies 8MM and Super8 films, frame by frame. You then "stitch" it back together in the computer using their program for a "flawless" transfer. I like the Peggyback idea of storing files online and being able to share them with family. I do that on a smaller scale using Dropbox and may have to see how that would work on my own webpage (should I ever get it built!!). Thanks again and as always, any and all thoughts, ideas, or recommendations are greatly appreciated. John "Watermelon-it's a good fruit.

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).
