1950's 8mm Disney Movie Projector - Wamoo - Restoration
Hi everyone !
This is a rare movie projector produced by the French company Wamoo toys around 1950. These toys were very popular in Europe, even if i didn't know that brand. This is my very first 8mm projector.
I was surprised and really excited to find 3 films in the pack !
Please watch till the end to see this rare movie projector in action !
By supporting the channel you help me make more of these video and find more amazing items.
I hope you'll enjoy this restoration.
Special thanks to electrostaticmagic for the beautiful powder paint !!

Surely, that machine should bring happy memories to some people today, pure childhood memories!❤😊😊😊
I hope so !! 😉
@@TheFabrikDon't just dream it built it and they will come.
Oh@@TheFabrik
@@hardkoregamer1981is that a call back to field of dreams?

I remember a friend had a similar machine made in the 1960's. We thought it was so cool. Her mom would make popcorn, and we'd pretend we were in a theatre. You brought back a happy memory. Thank you.
That must have been awesome. I wish I had something like that!
@@datey_in_a_1st_taxi me to!
😍
That's not true, cuz they made those shorts in the beginning of the 1920s.
@kalynmiller558 Both toons are from '50. You can check it with a short research on Google.
When I was little we had no electricity but my cousin did and had a similar little projector. I am impressed with your finishing techniques.
Thanks a lot, glad to bring the memories back 😌🙌
How many kids got those and had their friends sleep over to watch cartoons? There was no better fun then that! That's an experience kids now days will ever know. They have to much now days to appreciate the simple things that use to bring us joy.
I'm almost speechless, but not enough to forget saying THANKYOU for this. Brought back a lot of memories. You did a wonderful restore. I said to my wife, while watching you do the restore, "He should digitize the movie footage." And you did.
Hey thank you so much 🙏 Glad you appreciated it 😌🙌
I always find it amazing just how much mechanical engineering went into a lot of these simple children's toys!
Hi, you perform these restorations of old technology using modern materials creating a perfect working item . The result is this old projector will last for years. Thanks for another great video. Cheers, Paul.🎥🎞👍👍🙏
Beautiful object.I'm impressed by how they managed to do complicated things with just bent metal sheets. The paints you use are incredible, especially the chrome effect!
Thanks a lot Damien, I love that chrome effect ;) I’m not sure Wamoo sold a lot of these projectors… such a thin metal sheet. Not easy to make it work properly, I broke the films many times, too old probably. Thanks to the editing you don’t see it but I had to restart the projector every time I broke the film frame🤬😅
@@TheFabrik yeah this fims tends to become brittle with time and I see nothing wrong at all with the mechanism. That's why for preserving old movies, they are scanned frame by frame, not projected. This projector should work with any 8mm film, the reels are even standard ones!
Incroyable, le film de plus de 70 ans, ne s'est pas cassé !
En fait si… cassé plusieurs fois. J’ai adapté le montage en découpant mais ça a été une vraie galère 😓 Le dernier film « Donald cinéaste » se cassait instantanément à chaque tour de manivelle je n’ai pas pu le montrer
@@TheFabrik Hello ! très belle restauration ! Par contre je ne comprends pas comment ton câble en 220v peut alimenter ton ampoule 12V sans tout exploser ? '^_^
Il existe des ampoules fonctionnant en 220v avec ce type de pas de vis. Par contre en regardant la vidéo, le restaurateur a apposé des autocollants, la marque ET aussi la tension de fonctionnement en 110v. Sinon très beau boulot
Since I've been watching restoration videos, this is the first time I've wanted an object so much !!!
Beautiful restoration. Just what I needed after a long days work, plus I got to watch cartoons!!!!!!!!
Thanks a lot !! Sorry it’s not 4k / 60fps 😅
14 minutes & 54 seconds of rustling and brain crackles.. the perfect afternoon nap
Haha I do the same very often ;)
I always love the sand blasting part . Makes me sleepy 😂. Gorgeous restoration! 👍🏼👏🏼👏🏼
You do such a great job at fixing, restoring and many times improving these toys. The wonderful thing is that not only were they saved but they’ll be around for a long time. Thank you!
Thank you very much, glad you enjoyed it 😌🙏
Beautiful restoration and I can't believe you got it to work! That's just amazing.
I was afraid I couldn’t make it… So fragile. Thanks a lot !!
Another fantastic restoration, very old film reels
Not 4k / 60fps 😅
I saw your last video of the train 🚆 it was a year ago. When are you going to make the next video? Have a great year and every body that sees this comment peace ✌️
My latest train video was 1 month ago. I will do more very soon ;)
Really cool copper color and great work of course
Thank you !!! A bit far from the original color tho ;)
@@TheFabrik that doesn't matter keep up with the good work
Как же приятно видеть, как этот проектор заработал после восстановления. И замечательный звук ❤. Однозначно, дети в те времена были бы в восторге, если бы им такую игрушку подарили!
Thank you !
Magnificent job you did restoring the old movie projector. Great work.
Thanks a lot !! I wasn’t sure I could make it 😛
Once again you find the most magical thing to restore! I love the copper!!!
Thank you !!!
Reminds me of the other 1950's Disney movie projector you restored awhile back. You always find such unique items. 👍
That was a treat to watch those! Thank you!
Stunning restoration!
I approve and loved watching. Fine, fine handicraft.
Wow you did a great job for restoring the projector 📽. Greetings from Ireland 🇮🇪
Thank you !!
Bravo très belle restauration les jouets anciens ont du charme
Merci beaucoup 🙏
omg, i absolutely adore this device. 10 year old me would have been in love with that thing.
Omg, I love both cartoons, especially first one with a pie 😊😊😊
It's like Im watchin a magician, so amazing 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
This is so cool!, I didn't even know this existed, thank you so much for not letting that just be forgotten!
Thank you ! Glad you appreciated it 👍
@@TheFabrik I really like restoration videos, along with old stuff from the 1800's-1900's
@@GlaggleBoifeel free to watch my other vids 😉
@@TheFabrik i have been, you caught and pet sharj
Ahh when Disney was great now it’s just a money hungry bad movie making company. You did an amazing job
No disney always made disney movies like fantasia 1940s and the black caldreun
I mean The Black Cauldron
just found, and binged all of your vids. love this kinda stuff. you do an amazing job!
Well, well, well. I see that Mr Donald Duck hasn't changed his attitude in the last 74 years. Great video and restoration work.
Nice job. also, cool toy! those reels are like full episodes. a lot more then on a View Master disc, that's for sure.
It would be nice to see those toy films cleaned up & repaired, digitally transferred, restored, & reprinted to new stock.
I agree ;) i broke them several times… Must be restored too
The films are readily available on KZhead. The first one is called Donald Duck Lion Around.
@@thenflywjaz6917oh thanks for the info ! 😌👍
It must be broken there is no color
@@philiplubduck6107😅👍
Amazing. Very well- restored thing. Hats off
Thank you !! 🙏
Espectacular proyector vintage😍. La restauracion fue genial👍
This is a good toy for children. Worthy restoration!)))
Oh Gee! I think I have something similar (Except the one I have has been made for North America or maybe adapted by someone, I'm not sure). It was given to me by one of my deceased uncles as written in his last will two decades ago. The toy projector is still in a cardboard box for many years and I've never been able to make it work. Because it's some kind of family heirloom to me, I never threw it away.
This one says 110 V, which is close enough to US 120 to be interchangeable. Besides, the only thing you'd need to change would be the light bulb.
😁 This projector is better than 8K, Great job!!!
Simply awesome piece of work.. Great
I just found my new favorite channel! You have every tool and gadget imaginable! I watched with my jaw dropped. You are a master.🙏❤
Great memories thanks so much for the flashbacks
*_never look a full restore video but that was awesome please more never giv up😊_*
Thank you !! More vid to come soon ;)
@@TheFabrik i repair my iphone byself almost lol
Great job! The antique copper powder coat is lovely!
Great job yes, but the colour choice is awful! It just looks rusty again! It looked like it might have been a light blue or green originally and THAT would have looked ‘period’.
Thanks, I tried to find the original color… 🤷♂️
Man, this was heart warming ❤❤❤ You're amazing, great that something like that used to be sold😂😂😂
Such a cool little machine.
Nice! I love these proyectors!
That's an awesome restoration I hope you make more
Thank you ! Be sure I will 😉
@@TheFabrik Yes by the way are you a boy or a girl?
I am reminded of MASH. Hawkeye got a movie on a similar reel. Him, Trapper, and Col. Blake were in such a hurry to see it that skipped the projecteor and were taking turns watching it on Blakes microscope. It wasnt a Disney picture , IT WAS A DIRTY MOVIE lol
Excellent!
clicked on "like" right at the start at 10s. :P
The restoration is fantastic! I like the powder coatings you us and I was impressed to see the chrome finish was so bright. I was not sure if the films would work but they have certainly held up after all these years. Thanks for sharing this, it was neat to see this come back to life.
Thank you !! The films were too old. I don’t show it but I broke them several times at the end 😓
Without words how amazing and beautiful this is! This little projector is already one of my favorites. Actually still own some of those double 8 and super 8 animation movies myself, and used to make my own figurine animations using a super 8 camera, well... it seems... now more than a lifetime ago. Absolutely stunning to watch this.
Thank you very much, it’s my very first 8mm projector 🙏
I have the same Donald Duck cartoon .. only in color ... on standard 8mm as with this one ... This was an excellent video of the restoration of this children's projector . My late friend would have love to seen this video .. he was an avid Disney 8mm film collector ..
Thank you very much 🙏 I’m looking for more cartoons in color… Glad you appreciated it 👍
Wow what a cool old toy.
GREAT JOB ON 1950’S 8MM DISNEY MOVIE PROJECTOR -WAMOO- RESTORATION THE FABRIK 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

ho ! quelle belle restauration avec un final magnifique ! On ne s'en lasse pas... Beaucoup d'émotion quand on revoit ces vieux dessins animés. Merci
Bravo! Good choice of paint colour.
BEAUTIFUL
I keep forgetting there are bulbs that small that need 110V. Love the colour layout too!
Somehow better than bank cameras
Incredible once again.. thank you
Thank you !!! Glad you appreciated it 🙏
This Antique Copper is beautiful.
Vraiment bien montée cette vidéo et en plus 2 films deja vus que je suis content de revoir. Au top 👍

Every time your one thing dings it makes me want to say cookies are done 😂

Woww!!! VERY GOOD! This is the nicest restoration I´ve ever seeen this year! Good Job, man! Thanks.
Thank you very much !!!
Imagine an adult doing that to a kid now a days. LOL.
Thank you for restoring that, your skills are wonderful. I recently bought a 1920s Keystone 35mm film projector similar to your 8mm
Thank you !!
Toujours un plaisir Merci de nous faire admire tes restaurations 🤓
Avec plaisir 👍
Excellent restoration!! 😀
magnifique travail.....bravo
Merci beaucoup !
🤣🤣🤣 hermosas películas, buen trabajo 👍
Fantástico... Vida Longa E Próspera
what a cool toy!
I love it
Great job!
Excellent job 👍👍👍
The resulting film quality is almost as good as the Petterson Gimlin bigfoot footage.
If you were expecting 4k/60fps you must have been disappointed 😅 It was high quality for the Children back in those days 😉Quality is pretty much better in real, and there is no shutter on that projector 🤷♂️ Thanks for watching tho.
@@TheFabrik I subscribed and am looking forward to watching more of your videos. This was fantastic and found myself saying "wow" all throughout. I was actually shocked how good the footage was for being hand cranked.
That would be so cool to have
