I haven't thought of that stuff for a LONG time. Have a GREAT Turkey Day yourself, John, and same to everyone else...

That just happens to be a Pat Moore install. With sliding lense and app plates. I thought that this was big stuff for a kid running supers in my seventy year old house in Elma, WA. Jack make me a super deal and I will send Reverand Kenny Layton up with cash and He will haul them home in His super Dautsoon wagon  |  IP: Logged Jack Ondracek Film God Posts: 2348 From: Port Orchard, WA, USA Registered: Oct 2002 posted 12-01-2002 01:04 AM                        Geez, Daryl... don't you have enough of them yet??? Well... You and Paul (the Northwest PRO-35 fan club) can fight over me when I get my Century's installed. Meanwhile, I hope you do well with the new acquisition... recent setbacks notwithstanding! Didn't know you had Elma. I looked at it waaaay back... someone else had it then (back when the D&R in Aberdeen was still open). Didn't that place have an AC arc at one time??  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 12-01-2002 10:30 AM                     Jack, Bet you will have more problems with the Centurys....... Just send the ole Ballantynes back to Pat for an overhaul to the New Strong Factory Specs. If you do, they'll run trouble free for a hundred years!

I thought I remember you telling me that the Jerry Lewis Cinema had X-L's #120, #132, #134,and #167 in there originally? Mark  |  IP: Logged Paul G.

It might be cheaper in the long run rather than to fart around with a Century that is half worn out.  |  IP: Logged Daryl Lund Film Handler Posts: 88 From: Chehalis,WA, USA Registered: Feb 2000 posted 12-03-2002 02:51 AM                     Jack Find some good motiographs they will fix everthing  |  IP: Logged Randy Bowden Expert Film Handler Posts: 146 From: Portland, OR, USA Registered: Aug 2000 posted 12-03-2002 04:51 PM                     There are quite a few Bal's out there in service still. I personally rebuilt the 10 machines that are currently in operation at the Tigard Cinemas in Portland, OR. This was about 3-4 years ago. The original machines in that booth were in terrible condition, lots of oil leaks. Act 3 had a lot of these projectors in sevice. While I was residing as the Shop repair tech for them, I think I rebuilt something in the neighborhood of 100+ Intermittents in the span of 2 years. I'm still geting them in from Regal, however it has slowed down a lot. The downside is the high cost of the Lavezzi Starwheel, however they do put out a very steady picture after a thorough rebuild.  |  IP: Logged
