My viewer/editor didn’t come with a take up reel for the handle on the right side. Can I buy that online anywhere or does it need to be a particular kind?

Question, do we first need to get it developed before we can use this machine? Assuming we do? Im new to this all..

Is a Sears 9838 Film editor the same as a projector? I'm looking to buy one but not sure what to buy.

So I understand the use for them today, but what was there intended use back then. I mean I get it to edit films. My Grandfather had many films. I remember him splicing but I never seen or ever seen him use anything like this.

This video was so useful in viewing and archiving my late Grandad's Regular 8mm family films these past few weeks!
