Old HJ film reels


Recommended Posts

Hi All

I’ve recently acquired a number of original HJ film reels. They are all original recruiting/ advertising reels that were played in Kino’s and rally’s - however, I have no means of playing them or digitising them.

There are lots of things out there that will allow you to digitise negatives but the only thing I can find to play/digitise these reels are north of £3k!

Does anyone have any ideas or links to anything more affordable/a business that can do it for a fee/ commission?

Thanks

You could either look for an old second hand projector (of the correct film size) somewhere or maybe get them digitalised in a copy shop, depending on the cost. A smartphone or i-phone might also be usefull.
Or look for some ideas in the internet such as this:

Hi, thanks for this, I’ll look into it further.

I think the main issues is that they are cinema projector film reels, not home movies, so finding something portable/  table sized to play them is the difficult part.

Probably the old 16mm type?
