Did you steal those lenses from my theatre?! danny  |  IP: Logged Randy Stankey Film God Posts: 6539 From: Erie, Pennsylvania Registered: Jun 99 posted 04-07-2004 03:39 PM                     I got the clock at a garage sale for 50¢. It never had a logo on it since I've had it. Somebody else could have removed it. As far as I know, it's that ubiquitous clock made from a 16 mm. film reel that you can find all over the internet. It very well could be that HBO clock. Those lenses were the "El Cheapo" solution when the projector was first installed. I never liked them. It took me several years to even convince the boss to listen. It took me almost 6 months to get him to bite once I got him interested. We got a big money donation to the college. That's how we paid for them. If you want your lenses back, Dan, I'll be glad to send them! Seriously, though. We're going to keep them as paperweights. That's about all they're good for! I've been talking to the boss about using them as "tokens of appreciation" for people who donate money to the college. We'll take them to the local trophy shop and have them engraved with a "Thank you" message. Then the donor can take one home and keep it on their mantel as a momento. Either that or I sell them on Ebay. Some stupid idiot is bound to give me $50 for them!  |  IP: Logged Dan Lyons Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 698 From: Seal Beach, CA Registered: Sep 2002 posted 04-08-2004 12:49 AM                     quote: Either that or I sell them on Ebay.

I've seen several used equip. dealers ask 100 each for those old things!  |  IP: Logged Randy Stankey Film God Posts: 6539 From: Erie, Pennsylvania Registered: Jun 99 posted 04-08-2004 08:46 AM                     Cripes! I would NEVER sell these junky things as usable equipment! They're paperweights! The most I would ever think of doing would be to say, "Own a piece of cinematic history!" ...Because these lenses are HISTORY!  |  IP: Logged
