Revive the Retro: Antique movie projectors

powers cameragraph 35mm handcrank movie projector

Probably we weren’t even born that time when our grandparents enjoyed the movie on those projectors. One of those was lying covered with dust in our store room. On getting it out, I realized it was completely functional. With amazing image quality, it rocked my media room. Everybody just loved the by-gone era experience. It’s amazing how beautiful the things are and we refuse to acknowledge it, that is the reason I guess it is said, “Old is Gold”. And, when it comes to these movie projectors, I cannot help but appreciate them more and more each moment. Reviving and giving these antique movie projectors is like reviving of and old world style and charm that does not fail to enchant you. Retro as we all would call it, it is actually more stylish than those Blu-rays. Though lacking in all those out of the world features and applications, antiqueness is definitely there to stay. You all who are fond of gathering those antique objects sure can relate to my sentiments here.
