Eaton Center theatre is gone Gordon? I didn't know that....but then again I haven't been to Toronto in a few years. I actually liked that cinema a little bit...it was interesting to say the least. What is there now?

If I remember correctly the Eaton Centre Cineplex closed up shortly after Eaton's went belly-up.

I completely threaded Power Puff up for a set of Ya Ya Sisters, almost started it when I double check my print. My first thought was whats the differance!

But I droped the the thread, rethreaded Ya Ya and spent the next five mins back reeling the film though the brain.

I guess I need to send Brad a picture!

Oh I'm so glad to hear it's finally gone, dead and buried. I always said that I wanted to personally ride the bulldozer that razed that $#!+ hole. When I was on the relief list, every time the office called I would prey that I wouldn't be sentenced to the Eaton Centre.

Downstairs was OK (Ballantynes, normal platters, etc), but some of the rear-screen abominations upstairs made shutter--er--shudder. I did like the Erneman-9's and that Vic 10 in the Big House, however. Nice machines--hope they found good homes. The 2-deck Zeiss platters, on the other hand, I could live without!

Well lets see
The Prevosts machines realy never gave any grief nor did the ernamann 9's nor the Pro35's
THe 2 deck ernaman platters only gave grief with operators that refused to understand there design (they were really Kinoton designs)
The Microcine in #4 ran till the day it closed I never saw a portable run 7 shows a day for over 12 years with only a odd belt
The eatons centre had lots of faults but for a converted parking garage well what can I say
