Did you use a service or do it yourself and if a service what would you recommend?
I was going to do it myself but my old standard 8 projector just shed it's belt, in fact it disintegrated. No surprise really, it's at least 50 years old. I doubt I can get a new belt, it's the internal one, not the external ones.
I was toying with the idea of buying another projector but then I still have the faff of taping everything, so I thought professional service. Get it transferred into .avi and then I can edit it at home but of course some of these films are older than me and I'd really like some recommendations before I send them off to some stranger, which will give me palpitations. I must have, gosh, 500 to a 1000 foot of film.
What have you done?
