Video

It's a nice look back spoilt by the watermark it would be better at the top or bottom

Back when Bridgwater was English.

I am sure that homeless and addict people were about but we dont see them on the streets , where were they ?

Abuse city

Great video, thank you! I'm in the US but my model number is 1442 not the alpha numeric designation. One error I made is over tightening the nylon nut for the clutch plate. This caused the front reel to engage (in reverse) when moved to the Forward position [ as well as reverse or fast reverse as expected]. Auto feed and take up functions remain finicky and given the age of my films I'm going to have them transferred to digital before tinkering any further.

Great tutorial now I’m looking for three clutch rubber replacements and lamp & lamp holder for a 1462 “ as your tutorial one rubber split in two the other two with flat service also require lamp and lamp holder Glen

Thank you. You done it professionally 👍🌹🌹🌹

Where can I get the little washers?

Great video

I feel like I don't know anything about this place

You have patience to shoot time lapse that way !

What did you use to shoot the 2016 shots ?

Was it shot with the halina that took 4 batteries ? They have better lenses then the later 2 batteries models

Halina very underated but very good quality out performing a lot of other cameras

You should try making a DVD of this tape then upscale it ?

Was this shot on superVHS ?

Have you been able to replace the drive belt (or have instructions on it?!) thank you!

Hiwere you working at tone vale in the 70s can you contact me thanks

Thank You Super8sooty for this Video it was a tremendous help. Through another video I watched I found the name of an E B er in the States that has the parts needed for these Projectors at very reasonable price. He goes by, isell projector belts, on E B and I purchased the Drive Cones package of 3 . He also has Belts and I believe other parts as well. For the people having problems with the Motor belt slipping here is what I did as after replacing the Drive Cones my projector worked perfect except for the slipping Motor belt. I took an Oring 5/16 ID and stretched it over the drive pully on the Motor and then put the belt back on and it works like a charm. Also on YT there are "a couple videos that shows how to "Hack" your old Bulb into making it into an LED Bulb. Watch both of them because one video is better than the other. I have not needed to do this yet but looks like an easy and cheap fix. I watched several 40 year old 8mm Movies yesterday and was reel fun seeing these again. I had to appriviate a couple of names as YT would not let me link a video, also the name of the seller on E B I have listed is all one word no spaces.

Bridgwater was once a very busy active town of which I was born and grew up in. Sadly now due to people either buying online or using the outer stores shops like the ones we see in this film has closed. I glad that this chap went out in the summer of 1985 to capture these wonderful moments of time for us all to treasure for many years to come.

This is not a true reflection of this disgusting abusive place. I was there early 80s for a year. There was no play equipment and we never used the pottery room. I have been diagnosed with PTSD from this awful time 😡

im having trouble removing the clutch mechanism, any tips?

ex-Haygrove pupil here's been back home decades already czcams.com/video/tAkyObxNRBs/video.html 🍸

Está muy buena esta hueá

HI, Do you have any information on how to replace the belt that goes from the motor pulley to drive shaft? I have the belt but I need direction on disassembly. Thanks

GREAT video! I'm having trouble finding the correct tool to remove the inner screws. Can you share the type and size of what you used? Thanks

HI, I'm need of the same parts that you replaced on your projector and I was wondering where to source the parts or if you know where I can get the STL file so that I can get them 3D printed? Thank you for your help.

Forgot to tell ya. BIG, beefy motor. I LOVE 💘 IT!! Your friend, Jeff.

This is such a nice projector. I'm guessing that this Bell 🛎 & Howell model is from circa 1970. TWO sets of fans, to the nice gearing ⚙, and wiring, it is a beauty, on the inside, and out. Seems 👀 like 👍 almost nobody comments on these CZcams channels. Most recent one was 4 years ago. I really like all these projectors, regardless of the brand name, or 8mm, or 16mm. Some were sound, others were not 👎. I've come up ☝ by a few of these projectors, at yard sales, in my younger years, and bought them. I paid about $25.00 to $30.00 for each. One was a GAF carousel 🎠 slide projector, and one was an upright ☝ filmstrip 🎥 projector. I do not 👎 remember the brand name, and I cannot remember if it had a cassette player on it or not 👎. Another projector was an 8mm. No 👎 sound. Too many 👨 years to remember the brand name, but I think it was a Bell 🛎& Howell. It was constructed of cast aluminum. Sadly 😥, I wound up ☝ throwing the machine away when the fan belt broke. I had no 👎 knowledge on how to fix it, although these machines were quite plentiful then. It was 1984. This was still the age, that we could still buy the bulbs. Belts and parts were still probably available from the manufacturer 👨. These were such beautiful machines. They were next to TV 📺. Show those family 👪 8mm films 🎥. Nothing 👎 could be so timeless. I have a feeling that these projectors were built in Japan 🇯🇵, or the USA 🇺🇸. Your friend, Jeff.

I am guessing this was a Sunday in 1985

How klong have you lived in Bridgwater since you were born ? If so what year lol

Ohh, not to mention, that square drive belt is impossible to replace... I'll try a round one, before pushing the whole beast into the trash....

THANK YOU for a SUPER tutorial repairing the Drive Rotor Cap Rubbers for such B&H projectors. Too bad I cannot find them anywhere on the iNet... These are a miserable bunch of projectors, in that they age poorly, and become useless. Too bad.

What happened, to your hand?

My mum worked here when my dad got a job at the main hospital. We were there around 73-76. Mum was Sandra Green my Dad, Mick . Have fond memories from those days though I was only 3-5 years old. Love this video, great bit of history was half expecting to see my mum in it. That would've been good. That mound though seen at 1.00, we played on that. We called it the lump. 😃I still talk about that today, was like the main source of entertainment in the village in those days. "The lump" 😃hours of fun.

Great video! I have an MX33 with a slightly different problem I think. When i engage FWD the projector runs at normal speed at first and gradually slows down to a complete stop. Sometimes when engaging FWD it wont move until i give it a little push start, and then eventually slows to a stop again. Any ideas?

Good morning Sooty. Do you happen to know where I can find a replacement bulb and do you know how to replace it? Also, I have heard that the bulb can upgraded to halogen. Do you have any insight? Thank you, in advance, for your help.

Did you film thease

Parts available info here!! Looks like my original comment got taken down because I put a direct link into the comment or something - but please search e bay for Bell and Howell Lumina MX LX QX repair drive cones wheels UK EU 1443, 1462, 1481, that is the current description.

Excellent tutorial, very much appreciated, and my first question just answered, re buying 3d nubs. Can I ask you a question please on another issue wuth the same device? I can forward photo which should explain....

The Adolescent attached was the horror of my life - Merrifirld Unit - Dr Cockett Spelling may be off a it ... but i used to laugh that he cocked up ... I was referencer by Dr White (Barnstaple at the time but now iolds quite a high position ... she was the one who told my parents to lie to me 'for the best' to get me see merrfield 'and decide if i wanted to saty ... that le hurt for very long time. Having talked to parents and cried with them, I understand their fear and would have done whatever the doc told them to save my life... however, as I have told THEM MORE of my time there THEY ARE VERY ANGRY.

This video does not represent the the truth of the place. I was resident in early 90's ... .i saw AND experienced TERRIBLE THINGS. A sight called Derelicts (photos of of run down buildings. The comments that followed the photo wet on and on and on. Tales of cruelty,. damaged minds well into adulthood. I count myself lucky,., yet it still haunts me and am having now fugue states /sleep walkg in which I end u[p fighting authority (prehaaps due to lock dow, whish is what the unit was ..a prison

Great video! Listed the repair wheels/cones for sale here: www.ebay.com/itm/203129979294. Thank you so much for the repair how-to, I took the clutch totally apart when I first did this and it was a complete pain to put back together. This video shows a much better method. Hopefully there will be more Bell & Howell projectors up and running thanks to you! I'll print more out as they sell - so search for similar listings if this one sells. Just trying to get $$ spent on filament back.

i was here in the 60s at about age 3years with st vitus dance

Most of these people are probably dead

Doesn't seem that long ago 35 years, the year I finished school at Blake, loved the senses at the train station, much has changed and much had not. Wonderful to watch. Thank you

I recognise my friend Nicola Chamberlain from this video she's the mixed race girl sat back in her chair in the dinning room she's facing the window. i wonder if the creator of this video remembers her she had very distinctive short afro hair ? She was at Merriefields along time. I went to visit her once and remember the spongy chairs in the lounge. Unfortunately Nicky is no longer with us she took her own life age 19 😢

WOW! Impressive!

Sorry should have said in my first comment your parents were lovely to us respect.

I use to get chocolate from Here in 1980 when would walk from merryfields here nice walk I remember along old rail line.
