I think he's traveling a lot lately. He was in Middle East doing an install. He could certainly share some good info with us when he has the time.

There are more Kinotons that you would think going around the world.  |  IP: Logged Louis Bornwasser Film God Posts: 4441 From: prospect ky usa Registered: Mar 2005 posted 11-18-2010 02:04 PM                        I think the issue is the V8. Cinemeccanica as an entity is another matter. The V8 was essentially obsolete back 15 years ago when I toured the factory in Milan. It is surely MORE obsolete now.

Demetris would know since he works for them now. I bought a used head to get another movement and all is well now. Mark  |  IP: Logged Steve Guttag We forgot the crackers Gromit!!! Posts: 12814 From: Annapolis, MD Registered: Dec 1999 posted 11-25-2010 12:08 PM                     The Vic 8 was always a bit of a "modular" projector in that you could have it the way you wanted. 70mm was certainly its "popular" form but one could always get it in an 35mm only. The "penthouse" was always an (expensive) option too.

I believe that is what they use at Bradford for the cinerama installation.  |  IP: Logged Marin Zorica Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 671 From: Biograd na Moru, Croatia Registered: May 2003 posted 11-26-2010 03:40 AM                     I have one book, where cinemarama booth was pictured and there was V8 in it.  |  IP: Logged
