Thanks, but I think I'm going to go with Costo (local store). As it
turns out I only have about 825 feet of film. At Costco's price it
would be approx. USD 110 for the conversion or 85 (post BRExit) GBP.
Not worth buying and fiddling with old equipment for a small amount.
About 2 years ago I helped a friend convert his old 35mm slide
collection to digital by photographing the slides projected on a white
wall. We ended up having to repair his ancient projector before the job
was done. If was frustrating in that I got the projector running again
but it was not able to reverse the slide cartridge. If you accidentally
advanced too far you had to remove the cartridge and advance to where
you had left off. Painful.

I just made up [AOT] Almost On Topic
I have some 16mm B&W and (standard) 8mm color movie films that my
father-in-law shot in the 40s and early 50s. Anyone have advice on
converting this to some digital format?
Advice on previewing it without a projector? I've thought about
laying a section of it on my Epson V700 flatbed scanner and doing a
high resolution scan but haven't actually tried that. (because I just
now thought of it). It would probably have to be strung through one
of the film holders else it wouldn't be in focus.
