    Beware of James Harrell in Texas

    I remember hearing of a similar incident where the offending party's address and phone number were used in fake ads on Craigslist for a free furniture giveaway, gay *********, 7 AM yard sales, etc. Karma will catch up with this loser eventually…. :mad:

    "Your projector loads from the top where the filmstrip arrow is located. The filmstrip sits loose in the red cup and the beginning end feeds down thru the projector. There appears to be a clip on the takeup spindle for the filmstrip to attach to after it comes thru the projector. It is advanced...

    I went there and they don't have a manual for my model, which is 14A-390D so I did a Google search for DuKane and they're still in business in the Chicago area. I called their 800 number and a guy there is going to see if they have a manual for the model I have. I'll let you know what happens...

    I found a video on YouTube of a guy who bought a DuKane projector identical to mine for one dollar. He played a record on it but didn't have any film so I still don't know how to install the film. Any suggestions? :confused:

    Any old Ford employees here?

    I can't figure out how to load the film. I see an arrow with the word "film" and I fed it through there but nothing happens. I played the record for several minutes but didn't hear any beeps. The guy just kept talking nonstop. The reverse side of the record is blank. Are there any web sites with...

    The film strips that I have looked at are flexible and not brittle and they don't smell, probably because they have been stored in airtight metal containers for all these years. When I have some time tonight I'm going to try to figure out how to insert the film and synchronize it with the...

    I purchased some old car brochures from an 85 year old guy who worked for Ford from 1952-97 and he sold it to me. He said they stopped using them in the late '50s. We've come a long way since these were used, haven't we?

    Thanks for the info, Don. I'll see if I can figure it out tonight and let you know. I have a button on a wire that plugs into the machine which is probably used for advancing the pics. (See photo.) What do you think something like this is worth with all the films and records? Thanks again….

    Any old Ford employees here?

    I recently acquired an old DuKane movie projector and record player along with dozens of films and records from the '50s which were put out by Ford for use by their salesmen and mechanics. It appears to work but I don't know how to install the film and synchronize it with the record. Does anyone...

    Will a new carb improve my gas mileage?

    Here's all my engine pics if that will help any. I'm going to join the Early Ford V-8 Club today and see if I can give one of those guys $50 or $100 or whatever to take a look at it. I'll let you guys know what happens.... :cool:

    Will a new carb improve my gas mileage?

    I went to their website last week, Charlie, and emailed the local contact in Louisville. He called me a couple of hours later and told me about a Club picnic 50+ miles away in Frankfort on Saturday which I attended. I met several people from this area there and am planning to join. Hopefully one...

    Will a new carb improve my gas mileage?

    I don't know. I need to find a flathead guy in the Louisville area to take a look at the car and make a few recommendations and adjustments to it I guess....
