I have a great really old radio that has tubes and it still works. Takes about 3 min to warm up and it is am only, wooden box style desk top about 12x8x8 (LHW)

I will have to take a pic of it. It was at my great uncles house in Gotebo Oklahoma when I got it as a kid.

My sister has our family collection of 8mm reels of us as kids.
It might be interesting to see those again.

There are companies that convert 8mm to digital for a high fee.

years ago I set up our camcorder on a tripod, aimed it at the screen, and played all the family's old super 8 movies. I filled two videotapes. Then years after that, my brother converted those VHS tapes to DVD.

I wonder if my parents still have a working projector and if the reels are in decent shape? I bet my digital camera would make a better transfer than the VHS tapes were.

Aaah. You should watch them on the projector, it's just not the same...I like projectors. I wish I had a working one, of any age.

That would be the fun of doing another transfer. I'd get to watch them on the projector again while I was doing it.
