The UA I worked at before it was closed down was built in 1979 and featured a complete Christie setup.

I worked at (and if this qualifies for this topic) a UA 4screener as an assistant manager/technician for a few months in the mid 70's, that was originally built by the defunct Carrol Cinemas (if anyone remember this circuit from back east) for the place was originally a twin that had Cine V4's using 1.6k vertical lamps and with the 6k reel auto changeover setup. Then the place was split to a 4plex and the V4's went to each house using AW2's for the platters.

We have 2 UAs in this area, well 3 until about 4 years ago. 2 of them were built as 6 plexes by Litchfield in the late 70s/early 80s, with one being expanded to a 10 plex about 1994. The 10 plex is still open, the other 6 plex is closed. There's also a 9 plex at a mall that is the only original UA build in this area. I have no idea what kind of equipment their booth has, but I know someone that worked there and could find out.
