Michael Wilkinson The Entertainment King of Colusa and Beyond Posts: 89 From: Colusa, CA USA Registered: Apr 2004 posted 12-05-2004 03:53 PM                        Well Bob, I guess you would know. I'm glad to know of an RCA tech....10 miles from here. How come you've never come by and said howdy? Assuming that you must have serviced this booth once upon a time...I bet you didn't know I still have the original Photophone, Amp, Speaker, attached to the #2 machine...and even the EN-ARC with a new metal mirror! Not to mention the VOM record player or the stereopticon with color wheel! Yes-I keep it all going just for me. I wish I had the space for the matched pair in the booth. RCA RCA RCA RCA. I think I'll try to bring the 9030 back into production just for those of you who like them (in spite of their shortcomings). Anybody know where the original mold and tooling is? Bob, You'll have to come over and play sometime.  |  IP: Logged Richard Fowler Film God Posts: 2392 From: Ft.

In 1959 the tools and molds where sold to Toshiba Japan under the Photophone label and later sold to an Indian manufacturer....still built in cast iron. It is usually sold with a Photophone P35 projection head.....  |  IP: Logged Michael Wilkinson The Entertainment King of Colusa and Beyond Posts: 89 From: Colusa, CA USA Registered: Apr 2004 posted 12-05-2004 09:47 PM                        I'm not sure if that's good thing or not considering where Cine a and Monee come from. Anybody have a picture??? Oh joy-brand new boat anchors. And to think all of this time that they were long out of production.  |  IP: Logged Richard Fowler Film God Posts: 2392 From: Ft.
