Thanks for the advice guys, it looks like a "no-brainer" Rick  |  IP: Logged Pete Naples Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1565 From: Dunfermline, Scotland Registered: Feb 2001 posted 12-30-2010 08:04 AM                     The only thing Epic about the Epic is the number of problems it is possible to have one machine at any one time. Richard we were told within the last couple of years that Strong we still supporting the 8/70 stuff, certainly parts have not been an issue. Admittedly the ones we have in service are seeing less and less use, and are largely consigned to being dust traps now. If 8/70 film it must be, there can be only one. Kinoton.  |  IP: Logged Gordon McLeod Film God Posts: 9532 From: Toronto Ontario Canada Registered: Jun 99 posted 12-30-2010 08:09 PM                     Of course one could call IWERKS and get a linear loop machine  |  IP: Logged Dan Herron Film Handler Posts: 7 From: Fenton, Mo., USA Registered: Mar 2009 posted 12-31-2010 09:11 AM                     We have an Epic projector that we are willling to part with. Showperfect was supporting it when we last used it about 2 years ago. I think they still do.  |  IP: Logged Richard Fowler Film God Posts: 2392 From: Ft.

The microprocessor control box is the weak link to the machine. The original two guys who developed the projector are long gone.  |  IP: Logged
