Re: An interesting You Tube channel
First you have to get the film digitized. I use Cinepost that uses a wet scan machine which is not done by 99% of scanning companies now but it gives a much better scan. They scan each frame individually. I get my scans back as single frame .dpx files which are very large but retain much more of the original details. You can request any format you want. I like the .dpx because it gives me more control. I mostly use DaVinci Resolve to do all the corrections but also a few others for problem.areas. DaVinci is a professional program which has a free but slightly degraded version. The problem is that if you want it to come out as best as possible you have to tweak each setting for each scene change. There are a LOT of things to tweak. Most scanning companies just put in basic corrections for color and let it rip. At the beginning I had 3 different companies scan the same can of film and they were all atrocious but said that was the best they could do. That's why I do it myself. If you have 8mm film get it scanned as soon as possible as the film is rotting bit by bit everyday. I had one can that even Cinepost could not do I had to send it to a firm in Canada which uses highly specialized processes to make the film strong and stable enough to go though a scanner. They do not give you your film back after that toxic mix is used on it.

If he could take the time the videos could most probably be made
better if run through software that is designed to improve old
video tape. I have restored a lot of 8mm film and am always amazed
at the results. There can be scenes that are so dark you can
hardly see anything but after restoring you see it as the filmer
intended. There is a certain amount of sharpening that can be
achived also. Almost anything that is wrong can be improved to a
extent. Video tape has even less resolution than film. Film about
720p video about 480p. The problem with most people who restore
film or video tape is they just run the whole thing with one
setting. To do it correctly it must be done scene by scene which
takes a whole lot of time.
As to the complaint the videos are low quality, that was the
technology of the time and the most likely the best they could do.
10 years from now the tech of tomorrow will make today's videos
look like the video tape of old. Everything gets better but
doesn't mean the old should be discarded.?

Re: An interesting You Tube channel
Yes, the video on the mic is poor quality. But that is one out of a hundred. I did not know he is re-releasing old videos. As the posting onto YouTube is new. But that would explain why so many, so fast.?

Re: An interesting You Tube channel
It's not dark on a 15" laptop.? Slightly out of focus, did not have sound on.

Re: An interesting You Tube channel
Try a larger screen, it's dark, low resolution and the micrometer is never in focus, not even once.
I'm watching it on my cell phone, and I'm not seeing the faults you describe. Not saying the video is perfect or anything, but I don't think it is fairly classified as "unwatchable."
I've seen better, but also worse. Once upon a time, Uncle Sam paid me to produce & film such things. I mostly did still photography, not video, but did film a 16mm "martial arts" movie. I'd classify that as "worse."

Phil Kerner, that's exactly who I'm talking about. I'm subscribed and He's re-releasing? all his old videos again.
I say if he's going to do that, he could rerecord with better equipment and make it usable.
Watch this video on Starrett Multi anvil mic, it's completely unwatchable. 1080p ? nope it's all low quality, dark, dim, unfocused. You can't see the micrometer at all.
Apparently you did not watch " The Tool and Die Guy" channel.?

Re: Starrett Micrometer instructions
Yes, Thank you! I was given an old Starrett 1" micrometer a few years ago, and didn't get a case or instructions for it. For free, I wasn't about to complain, of course!

The taper attachment was standard fit for all

up-specced with a T.A. at time of ordering is my understanding.
My 1941 Toolroom 10L was dispatched with a T.A.

After endless arguments with myself, I have come to the conclusion
that I don’t have the time to refurbish my 9” South Bend Lathe.
It hasn’t been used in several and years and is in need of a new
home.
I will be listing
it
on Craigs List in Seattle/Olympia, WA area.
Asking $1500.
