Or just "Pseudo SR." Also a disclaimer next to the patent notice "For use only as a backup to digital..." or "Steve Guttag says..." BTW, is Wootton Bassett a place, a person, what?  |  IP: Logged Bernard Tonks Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 619 From: Cranleigh, Surrey, England Registered: Apr 2001 posted 01-11-2003 10:52 AM                     Wootton Bassett is in Wiltshire, South West of England.  |  IP: Logged Thomas Procyk Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1842 From: Royal Palm Beach, FL, USA Registered: Feb 2002 posted 01-11-2003 11:28 AM                     I'm assuming by the remarks that the CAT 222 didn't really produce true SR? Sorry, I don't get all of the "technical" jokes right away =TMP=  |  IP: Logged Bill Langfield Master Film Handler Posts: 280 From: Prospect, NSW, Australia Registered: Apr 2001 posted 01-11-2003 12:05 PM                        CINEMECANNICA PAYOUT, ANOTHER broken POT shaft. I know my pics suck, I promise to get a better camera, but Xmas maxed me out, then I couldn't help myself and bought a 'Digital Terrestial Receiver' or STB. Not as impressive I thought I would be. Gezz even have to wait for FOX to ugrade before Digital works on cable. The STB is the thing with the green LEDS above the radio. (Don't why I am talking about the STB, maybe I like it more than I think I do) ANYWAY, back to the point..!! We are out of IDLE rollers on the platter until 'store' opens up again. (Towards end af January, even so we are not allowed to spend - but this is a must - so four have be odered) At the moment ONE plate is running with a flat spotted roller. Someone who should know better payed out on this plate, and the movie Treasure Planet was thrown, (due to the plate vibrating like crazy)and wrapped around the payout. In her rush to untangle the mess, YET another POT was snapped off. I must admit she was paying out of the top of this 5-Tier, kind of hard to see up that high I guess, but thats what we have milk crates for. I know it's hard to see the POT in the pics, but Im thinking could it not be possible for a Jeweller or Watch maker to solder/Braze/ or drill and pin the arm back on?? Thats got to be cheaper than paying $600 for a new pot. Has anyone tried to repair these POTS? I have three dead ones now, which adds up to around $1500 to replace! Ouch. Makes me not worried rushing in emergencies with Speco payouts, all your looking at is $30 for a busted payout arm.

This pic is a shot from booth 3 & 4 at the Galeries du cinema in Lausanne. The patrons pass trought these booth to acces the auditoriums. And kids are amazed to see how a projector running, for luck the exterior light don't disturb the projection.  |  IP: Logged Jeff Skallan Film Handler Posts: 65 From: Littleton, CO, USA Registered: May 2001 posted 01-12-2003 04:08 AM                     Crazy! I really don't think I could handle people looking at me all day like I was some kind of caged zoo gorilla. What do you do when a show goes down? Hide in the corner?  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 01-12-2003 05:51 AM                     Jean, if you're going to post more than 1 or 2 pictures from the theater, please send them in as a formal submission to the picture warehouse.  |  IP: Logged Jean-Michel Grin Expert Film Handler Posts: 222 From: Geneva & Lausanne, Switzerland Registered: Jul 2002 posted 01-12-2003 09:15 AM                        Brad, These ultimates test was just for checking witch programm Netscape or I.E. should be used and witch picture format .jpeg or .gif work better. No intention was mine to consume bandwith. I you're interested i got a lot of pictures from various locations in Geneva and Lausanne where I'm working as projectionist an tech. Of course I'll be proud to sumiting these pics for the warehouse. Thanks for your understanding. Jeff, Don't worry about these "gorilla cages" When the film is threaded the projectionist go to a another booth, closed to the wiew of the peoples.

I couldn't tell from the pics where the pot was at.......perhaps we could cross refrence it to another manufacturers pot. If they do cost that much from Shakemeccannicca then thats sure a VERY GOOD reason not to buy Shakemeccannicca products!

Only in a old multiplex in geneva we use old CNR platters they just have 3 deck, And one of our booth at the Rialto in geneva use Strong 3-deck platers but I will soon exchange them by a 5-deck platters. For me it's munch better to fit every booth with 5-deck platters: for example one deck with the cartoon for the kids, the second deck for an another movie dubbed in french, the thrird platter for the english version, the fourth platter for take-up and the last platter for a Premiere or in case of faillure of one another, ore more better to cut and serve a pizza to yours collegues  |  IP: Logged
