Can polavision 608 film cartridge be transfered to an up to date medium?

Answer

Yes, it can. There are a number of companies offering the service (try googling "Polavision transfer"), or you could do it yourself if you have the right equipment.

If you have the original Polavision viewer, the easiest thing is to point a modern video camera at the screen and just play the tape. The film is very dense, and these units are the best way to view them. Alternatively, you can break the cartridge open, spool the film onto a Super 8 reel, and project it onto a suitable screen, using that to transfer the film. Watch out, though - apparently the film is very hard to project, so keep the picture small and project using the maximum brightness you can manage. Also, the film emulsion can be very fragile, so handle the film with care.

Hope that helps.
