Mavis Rides Again | My 1930 Ford Model "A" Had a Problem
Просмотров 1942 месяца назад
I decided to run a couple errands and take Mavis. The first stop all went well. When I pulled out and started down the road, she started popping and backfiring severely and was losing power. I was able to nurse her to a church parking lot about a mile from our home where she died and would not restart. Starting fluid didn't do anything, so I got out my test light and couldn't find any electrici...

    • @motorcarlamar
      @motorcarlamar 3 месяца назад

      It is (was) the mainline of one of the divisions of the L&N, now CSX, railroad known as the "Hook and Eye". It runs between Atlanta and Knoxville. Larger railroad cars caused it to be bypassed with a new line that is still in use today. In more recent years the Georgia Northeastern took over the line and served a large copperr mine at Copperhill, TN which is where the video begins. There's just way too much history for a quick answer so Google Hook and Eye.

  • @ronwilken5219
    @ronwilken5219 3 месяца назад

    I just purchased one, and I found, like you, that the takeup just does not have enough grunt to pull the film through. A solution I found is to exclude the last "peg" in the outlet side of the takeup chain. Mine certainly doesn't like splices. One suggestion I would make is to make sure the arms of the reel supports are fully extended so that the internal belt is as tight as possible. I'm on my third 5" reel (about 2.5 hours worth) and believe me there are a few seventy year old splices in one of those. I'd appreciate a report on the magnasonic when you get it. A major frustration with this machine is the inability to make frame, colour, or sharpness adjustments while it's running and the fact that ANY stopage results in yet another file starting. I'm hoping they can be stitched together on the computer. otherwise, it'll be like looking through a stamp collection. Every now and again, I've heard it twice, this one grinds like a coffee grinder. It doesn't stop and still copies, but it sounds like it's trying to tear its guts apart. For nearly $600 in Canada, I agree with you that Kodak should be able to put their name to a better product. But the Kodak company went the way of the dodos, so I'm sure it's just a licence agreement with whichever Chinese company is churning these out by the thousand. Thanks for your report/rant.

      These devices are about all there is for the consumer. There's several brands out there, but they're all the same unit just with different brand names. Pay your money and take your chances. There are companies that you can send your movies to and they will transfer them for you. I have no idea what that would cost though. I bought a Magnasonic after the Kodak and it has been pretty good so far.
