[Shop-talk] Off topic, but I need help and I don't know where else to turn to.

Eric:

A university library or AV department (at the University where I work 
it's called Media Services now)is likely to have a projector, but they 
are also likely to have an editing viewer.  These are generally hand 
cranked machines that will advance the film through at your own pace, 
and because it's only a viewer, the lamp is low powered and generates 
less heat than a projector and so will be kinder to old delicate film.

Also, University athletics departments sometimes house significant 
sports libraries, and while most have probably converted old stuff to 
digital media, they may still have equipment remaining.
