I decided to convert my wife's grandfather film about 3 years ago.
First thing I bought was some film restorer cleaner.
Basically pour some on a rag and wind the film between 2 fingers to coat the film.
I wasn't impressed with the wolverine machines and bought a converted projector with a led light and faced a camcorder through the lens to focus on the film gate and then pressed record.
Was a little tricky especially with exposure manually while recording,which means i needed a remote.
Wanted to use my sony ex1 or Panasonic but they have rolling shutter that produced light black banding.
Was able to find a ccd camcorder while not as good,did a job I was happy with and not dumping too much money into it.

This video from 1965 I cleaned up a little in post .
I kept my master copy that I recorded and I will one day restore further, along with the rest of the collection.



For slides and camera film we bought an old epson perfection v500 scanner with film and slide holders.


It was fun to see all the old history no one remember watching and seeing everyone's reaction.
Just wish I knew about this film before he died.

Good luck

1 quart of pool chlorine per gallon of water in a pump sprayer. Can add a little dawn as well but my trials I didn't notice a difference.
I do a pre spray amd post spray.
Water grass beside concrete to avoid chemical burn.
You won't get the ugly pressure washer lines in concrete as the chlorine will kill the organic material still left behind and stays cleaner much longer.

Use sodium metasilicate to clean and then finished with oxalic acid to bring back the natural color.
Spray on and then I used a pressure washer to rinse off.
I also used protective gloves and mask while mixing.
And spray water on grass to protect from chemical burn.
Don't use chlorine as it damages the fibers and strips it of natural oils and the look fades quickly.

I was mowing at .6 on a john deere 42inch tractor with minimal scalping.
The reel I have zero scalping.

The op doesn't need to worry about scalping at this point.He just needs the bermuda to run.Any low spots he can spot fill with play sand over the next couple months.
He needs worry about how it looks next year not this season.

From personal experience .5 and .6 Inch are the optimal hoc for common bermuda to run aggressively and fill 1000sqft or more.
All you need is plenty of water and fertilizer.
I used 46-0-0 urea every month and ammonium sulfate every month.So every 2 weeks I was laying one of those down.
This is on clay.
I ripped out a deck and planted seed.
At 1 inch it just grew upright.
At .6 it has spread and filled in and getting thick.
Also changed from rotary to a cheap sunjoe battery reel mower.

I am on season 2 or 3 of trying to eradicate this son of a bitch.

Backyard sprayed glyphosate and it died and some came back the same season.
After admitting defeat on chemical control I switched to photosynthesis,or more precisely, don't allow it.
So every time a saw some come up I would pull it,trying to pull up as much root as possible.
The backyard is now 99% free.So far an odd shoot has come up.

Front yard it is on property line and my neighbor who has shitloads and it blends well with their no nutrients ever, cut once a fortnight st augustine.

Glyphosate was useless from last year.
Pretty sure i found runners so I will be fighting this forever while the neighbor has it thriving.
Only thing giving me hope is that it doesn't like my height of cut as much as the neighbors.

Started an area by pulling plugs and cutting them in half and then filling half with sand.
I'm hoping the runners won't like the sand and along with hand pulling I can keep some control.

Put a bid at 8.58 this morning.
As much as I hate trying to catch a falling knife,50% from the high seemed worth a shot.

And Monday's are tracking down 4 of 6 Monday's,so i didn't carry any trades over weekend.

Nice 20% range off the low again today.
Unfortunately I was in a meeting missing the action.
Fortunately the meeting was way more valuable than a trade today.
Hoping this range keeps up until September.

Starting with $8600 in a roth ira simply make 1 trade per week as soon as it hits 5% profit sell.
Then repeat the next week for a total of 156 consecutive trades(3 years) and you will be worth $17,379,172.99.

Yes I trade mine and I've got stinky pinks in there so don't follow my advice.
