chuck_foreman1 Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 @'Jason Excellent results with the Signet. Can I assume this is the Tessar type lens? Were you using a yellow filter? I noted the very dark skies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gary green Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 @Mike Gammill Is that an 8-Track player under the dash? I hope so. My family had a '72 Impala sedan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always think a yellow or red filter gives a nice result with B&W film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Gammill Posted January 14 Author Share Posted January 14 Yes, Gary it is an 8 track player. Bought it at Radio Shack. Speakers were a pair of 6x9 coaxials that I mounted flush in the rear deck. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Gammill Posted January 17 Author Share Posted January 17 Yes, I used 8 tracks for a few years. My first 8 track player was mounted between the seats on my 1969 Mustang. It was mounted with the slot facing the shifter so it was easy to use without taking my eyes off the road. Had a pair of 5 1/4" speakers in rear deck. I had an 8 track recorder so I could dub my records on to tape. With the recorder and a good size record collection I didn't buy prerecorded tapes very often. I think my first prerecorded was John Denver's Greatest Hits. My last 8 track was an in-dash unit that I installed myself in my 1979 Pontiac Phoenix. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gary green Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 @Mike Gammill I'll bet you installed a CB radio at some point too! My handle was "Doughboy", given to me by my friends because I worked the kitchen in my parents' pizza business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Gammill Posted January 18 Author Share Posted January 18 @Gary Green- Never installed a CB in any of my vehicles but I did talk on one in a friends vehicle from time to time. We once wired one into a 12 volt accessory cord and had a magnetic mount antenna to switch between vehicles. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ohh right ..you were my inspiration to get one of those.. clearly the Ektar is a Tessar type. I've recently acquired more Kodak "stuff" from this era. Were these also "Dia-postive ie B&W sldes?
