So I bite the bullet, break the bank and order an original Kodacolor filter from eBay. It arrives but I can't for the life of me figure out how to fix it to the lens, I conclude there is a bit missing and have another look. Sure enough there's also a filter assembly that comes separately. Luckily the same seller has one and that is now on order but f**king typical eh! And the Kodascope B I was hoping to use is in bits and my attempts to get one of my fellow nutte... er, colleagues to look at it are not going well.
Of course all is now gearing up for the big event in October, Bletchley Park will be giving us the run of the ground floor of the mansion on Sunday 3rd and one of the things we're doing is inviting people without projectors to bring their films in for us to project for them. Of course 99% of this part of the events falls on my shoulders as I'm a qualified film archivist and the others aren't so they've basically put me in charge of this side of things. There is a word to describe how I feel about this- the word is 'EEK!' So all my projectors, having been taken in for PAT testing by our electronics genius, are being stored at the Park. This means I do not have them here at home for the next two weeks. All they need to do now is cut off my testicles and my misery will be complete! Still the 3rd will be a day of near-constant film and there's the film fair at Harpenden next Sunday so it's not all bad. Not all bad but, of course, not all easy because
Nothing's ever f**king easy!
