There is a little battery corrosion and stuff, but i don't think it would be too hard to get working. Still working on doing my own research, but help would be appreciated
Would it be worth it to get it working?
Where is a good place to get film?
Where is a good place to get it telecined?
How much would this all cost?

Thanks

I just took up film photography and it's much more expensive to shoot than digital. I can only imagine that videography will be the same.

but the motor doesn't run well enough to actually run and reel the film back up

i guess that project was a fail
