The Birth of a Combine

[Case Nutty 1660]

sorry about the quality of these pics took them from a Case slide film, these are a 1160 being built in the Bettendorf combine plant cnt

That is great stuff!! For us guys that have run them forever and are still running them it's great to see! Where did you get the film, and is there any way to make a copy?!? One picture in there looks like a 1660 by the position of the rear ladder.

I have a pile of these slide films and so far have had no luck getting them copied around here, I have several different model combines films, they come with a record telling about each pic as you go I will try another one after I clean my projector a bit more, also will post pics of the projector and film boxes for those who have never seen them cnt

Bro,
That's totally XXX. Nice filmstrip. I gotta call you and find out how to post them. I have bunches with the "long play vinyl records" that beeped when it was time to turn to the next frame. Not sure if the projector/ record player still works, but the film strips and records are still in their original box sets.

my brother has a video about how deere makes the new combines. it also had a bunch of stuff about the old 95's and such. it even included deere day 1965. i think the older stuff is WAAAYYY better. espacially if it is Case!

Have you tried Walmart? I had a bunch of 35mm slides put on a disc pretty cheap there.

Loren, I have three different projectors this one I think may be the newest style that I have seen, we had one just like it that was lost in the shop fire, I did not post every pic here from the slide, I am trying at the moment to clean the lenses a bit better and it may bring out the color better when it gets dark, one thing I really like about these is a large amount of the pics were never in the sales lit, I will see about doing a couple more every so often cnt tom

Tim these are 35mm film strips not slides the trouble they tell me is finding a film strip machine to do the transfer with, tom

Google-- film to dvd transfer (your state)-- and a lot of choices come up for professional services. Here is one example for Montana.

I have done this for 8mm and VHS. Not cheap but reasonable priced here in Illinois.

In-laws had some 35 film transfered to CD not to long ago. I think they said they had to send it someplace in Texas. Can't remember where, but the local shop told them that was the only place they knew to get it done.

Those are great to see and if a pic is worth a thousand words as they say you have a library there. Thanks for sharing, Rod.

Case Nutty and others: To convert slides and negatives to digital I bought one of these little devices at Staples about 3 years ago, worked well. I converted about 2,000 slides with it. It uses a regular camera SD card which you can then put on your computer. I think it cost about $70 at the time.

Thanks for the photo's! I remember as a little kid going with my uncle to a case dealer and watching a case-o-matic promotional film. It seems like they hooked to other tractors and even a dozer, too long ago. It was a big deal at the dealer. Like I said I was small then it would be nice to see it again after all of these years.
