Agfa (Germany) film does fade too, and so does Fuji (Japan), but less than the Eastman stuff does. I'm not sure about eastern bloc film. I haven't ever had a film from the USSR for example. I'm not really sure what the logistics of illegal duplication were. The equipment and chemicals would be a bit too ambitious for a normal enthusiast. I've only seen the results when I've bought films, and they aren't too great. Magnetic sound tracks on 16mm I am also not too familiar with. Some machines can play them, but the majority of films have an optical sound track. I think magnetic sound tracks were for a specific use, but i'm not sure what that use was. My projector does only optical, and I've never found a magnetic sound film for sale which I wanted to buy. |

I should add.. everything I know about 16mm film I learned within the last year and a bit. Last summer I went to see a movie at a local art movie theater (Andrei Tarkovsky's "Solaris").. I paid a full ticket price, and what did I see? A DVD on a big projector, and the worst sound I've heard in a theater. This in a big theater, which has hundreds of seats.
I was so disappointed, I used to go to art or cult movies, and as soon as the projector started, and I could see the film working, I knew I was in for something good. But this was dismal, worse than my own home theater. I thought OK I can either complain, OR, I can make my own theater and watch films at home. I chose to do the second, and it's been a fun but expensive hobby. |

A takeup reel can still be bought fairly easily. Big thing with the projector is clean and properly oil it.

I found it, still not got it. It isn't in Bucharest. It's something like this: http://www.fiat.3xforum.ro/post/2612...ula_16mm_IOR_/ I'm curios if it can take up those realy large spools.
Probably spools are easy to find in more developed countries. In Romania ... hardly. 8 mm was a little bit more common here (and you could use spools from reel to reel tape recorders), but 16 m.m. was very rarley private used, so... In Romania I think they didn't even made 8 m.m. films with titles for sale. The Soviets did. Last edited by Telecolor 3007; 11-10-2018 at 05:01 PM. |

Movies, newsreels, documenatries. But they aren't all in good shape. Kept under a roof, but one of the walls is a curtain, they where kept in newspapers, not in boxes.
But spools seems to be imposibile to find in Romania. And on ebay.de prices are Can I use duck tape on this or only glue? Last edited by Telecolor 3007; 11-12-2018 at 08:35 AM. |

Duck tape? Absolutely not. The only things you can use to splice film, are film splicing tape, or film cement. If you use anything else, chances are almost 100% that the projector will start eating the film the first time you show it. Even a tiny misalignment of the sprockets will start this, it's really critical. If you want to be cheap, I suggest to use a cement type splicer, since you can make cement easily enough, and it avoids needing the special tape.
I can't really tell from that photo if that's a splicer for "press-tape", or for cement. I think it's a press tape type splicer, but it's not a type I am familiar with. The first one you showed me is for cement. Here's a website of one of the only companies still making film supplies: http://urbanskifilm.com/supplies.html Also, the following forum is really great - they helped me a lot since I started this stuff www.16mmfilmtalk.com Last edited by maxhifi; 11-13-2018 at 02:53 PM. |

And how I can align them corectly?
What's the differnce between press tape and duck tape? |

The difference between press tape and duck tape is the difference between plugging a hole in the top of a VHS cassetts with packing tape and plugging that hole with a peanutbutter and jelley sandwitch...Both wrong methods fix the defect till you try to play the media...Then they cause lots of new problems.
