K-F Training Film Strips
« on: November 12, 2012, 07:34:03 PM »
K-F Dealerships had training supplied to them on Magnavox Illustravox FilmStrip Players.  These players played 16" transcription style records.  Still working on getting the audio off of the records ... but if you would like to view a work in progress here is the 109 scanned images from "The Final Link" - Vol 48 Nbr 01

I have the images in a movie version once the audio is ready to match to it.
I really want to hear what is being said.

Jim,

I will see about getting you the one I have next trip down to the house in KY.   It was used for Federal-Mogul film strips on parts department set-up and a 1955 Hudson Motors strip for the 1955 Hudson Rambler.  Sorry, no scripts or records on any of these.

Jack, I "won" a second Illustravox of off eBay last week.  Let me test that one before you ship me yours.  Hopefully I will have one here to use.  Thank you for helping with this.  Each of these film strips have 100 or so pictures ... great stuff.  Bring it back from Kentucky if it is not too much trouble ... just in case.

Congratulations!    If you have problems with recording the filmstrips, I have an idea that might work.

Here is a link to the Movie File being built ... careful as it is 15MB.
At this point there is no audio but the 109 frames are linked together into a movie file.

Found a gentleman in Ohio who repairs Crystal Cartridges.  They are in the mail to him.  Hope to have audio on them soon.

Cartridge resoldered back in ... needle installed ... record played through the amp and out the speaker ... hip hip. Now how to digitally record it? :)

A couple of thoughts.  first, is the speaker plugged into the amp or hard-wired?  You should be able to get a cable from BEST BUY or RADIO SHACK with the proper plug on one end to go into the amp and the other into the audio input of a VHS or DVD recorder.  If you have a LINE OUT or similar type connection at the amp this will be a breeze.  Otherwise the amp volume will have to be next to nothing (start with no volume and come up slowly, listening to the TV sound for best quality-you may have some krackle and distortion).

As for TV, a video camera on a tripod can work.  You are not lip-syncronizing so the sound/picture match should not be a problem.  Position the camera so all but the edges of the projector's frame appear on the TV screen  when you get it, lock it down.

If you can get it on a VHS tape, I can copy the tape onto a DVD.   Quality should be same as what is on the tape.

When you are all set, try a strip, play the recording back and see if you are happy with the quality.

DO NOT USE MICROPHONE TO SPEAKER IF YOU CAN AT ALL AVOID IT FOR CAPTURING SOUND!.

Last Night I did a microphone capture on the sound and merged it with the Filmstrip.  Not highest quality but quite acceptable.  Take a listen.

Steering and Alignment now has audio ... bit scratchy but the record was scratched up.
