Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

This is a nice product for the price. I have hundreds of old 8 and super 8mm films that I haven't been able to view in many years. Sending them out for conversion is so expensive. I've been very happy with the results I've been able to get with the Wolverine MovieMaker. My first unit only lasted for a day before the light went out. I contacted the manufacturer about getting a replacement bulb and was told it was an LED and should last years. They replaced my unit and the new one has worked well for several days and 20+ film transfers of 50 to 200' each. One issue I discovered is that the film supply reel often spins forward on a frame advance and then, when the slack is taken up, it snaps forward again. The result of this on the transfer is a jumpy video. My guess is, each time the slack goes away and the reel pulls again, it causes the film to register in a different position. I came up with an easy fix. I just folded a piece of card stock and put it between the supply reel and the device. It creates a little tension that prevents the film from spooling out too fast. Wolverine, if you're reading this, some sort of tension on the supply spindle would be a cleaner fix than my solution.
