Author Topic: Repowering long unused booth Jack Ondracek Film God Posts: 2348 From: Port Orchard, WA, USA Registered: Oct 2002 posted 01-30-2018 07:56 AM                        quote: Sam D. Chavez As I'm sure Jack knows, the Hortson and others were left handed to fit into the very tight booths in Europe. There even left and right handed Bauer and other brands of 35mm projectors for the same reason. I didn't know that, but that's interesting. This booth wasn't all that tight, but the machine did fit in there well. Had an intermittent and, as I recall, put out a very good, steady image. I don't recall the audio being all that great, compared to the 35s in there, but considering the subject matter, the film could have been partly at fault.  |  IP: Logged Gordon McLeod Film God Posts: 9532 From: Toronto Ontario Canada Registered: Jun 99 posted 01-30-2018 12:16 PM                     Hortsons were a work hose tank hard to kill the image was either rock steady or bounced as some of the intermittent sprockets were eccentric regrettably the sound was never all that great probably due to the combination of a poor slit and a massive filemented exciter lamp  |  IP: Logged Stephan Shelley Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 854 From: castro valley, CA, usa Registered: Nov 2014 posted 01-31-2018 02:39 PM                     The Doremi A to D is know to be problematic with buzzes and hum. A better choice the the Dolby DMA 8+. They are solid with a CP-65.  |  IP: Logged
