I was recently interrogated by a newly arrived manager as to why I made DCPs from the stuff that we occasionally have to source on DVD or BD. He has clearly never had to play ten 2-minute clips from multiple discs in a box set in quick succession, or been in the audience during the 2-3 minutes of blank screen each time while the disc changing is taking place.  |  IP: Logged Jesse Skeen Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1517 From: Sacramento, CA Registered: Aug 2000 posted 09-14-2016 05:43 PM                     I'll be happy to take any unwanted film equipment or films off anyone's hands! Didn't realize there was such low demand for it- I thought it would be increasing after theaters got rid of their film projectors!  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 09-14-2016 08:20 PM                     I sent all my platter systems to the dump. I gave everything else away except my Double Mut, PK-60D, Panastero based sound system and Super Lum-Ex lamphouse. I also kept all my Stong Switchers because they still pertain to Super Trooper Spotlights and all my Phillips FP-56 as they are rare as hens teeth in this country. Mark  |  IP: Logged
