Particularly one, my parents' Chinon SP-330MV. Got two at the most recent estate sale, an Anscovision and a Kodak, along with a screen, everything in GREAT shape. My parents have had their projector for years, but sitting for so long had caused the internal components to become gummed up and quit working properly. So I took it to my place to see if I could get it running again. At first I had believed that maybe a rubber belt had gone the way so many have in tape decks over time, but no, this was actually a nice, simple fix. So I put some 3in1 oil on pivot points, fired it up, and brought it back to mom so we could watch 8mm home videos for a while. I realize it's not easy to see what's on the screen, but the videos were from 1985! According to my mom, they only had their 8mm film camera for a few months, until my dad sold it and got his two-piece Panasonic VHS camcorder.

And we cut in a bit to mention my Panasonic RS-7605 reel-to-reel tape deck, which I fully tore down, cleaned, and lubricated as well.

Used in the making of this video: Canon PowerShot SX230-HS Blue
