BTW, What exactly does Swiss Pizza Taste like? How does it compare to say the Pizza in Chicago? Mark @ CLACO  |  IP: Logged Richard Fowler Film God Posts: 2392 From: Ft.

The food at Movenpik ( like an upscale Denny's ) in Geneva was better  |  IP: Logged Jean-Michel Grin Expert Film Handler Posts: 222 From: Geneva & Lausanne, Switzerland Registered: Jul 2002 posted 01-13-2003 06:24 AM                        Mark, Richard, I'm joking when I said to serve meals on a Spare platter for me clealiness is the most important thing to keep a better projection. For the taste of pizza, I don't have any ideas how are the pizzas in Chicago. But if you have the intention to take business or vacation trip to Geneva, Don't eat at Pizza Hut: Theirs Pizzas have a lot of fat and cheese. Some peoples like it and another dislike it. I know very good place to eat a tasty Pizza in Geneva and Lausanne, made by "reals" Italian guys with fresh ingredients. For example a great pizza cost $13.00. That's truth Switzerland Is expensive, but the difference of price justify the tase between a real pizza an a mas-productet fast-food pizza...

This box holds two 6-track heads, including the one posted previously. That would be very interesting if they were the original contents of the box given the mailing date (early 6-track) but elsewhere on the container it says 3-track with the 3 changed to a 6 so no way to be sure of anything except the remarkable continuity of P-B postage meters, unchanged since 1956.  |  IP: Logged Bill Langfield Master Film Handler Posts: 280 From: Prospect, NSW, Australia Registered: Apr 2001 posted 01-13-2003 11:43 AM                        Jean-Michel, Mark... (Yes, the POT costs a lot, I'll get more details on it specs for you, Mark) Yes, Jean-Michel the payout is a Cinemiccanica CNR-35-3/5 unit. My main question about it, is that the POT/payout-arm can be snapped off so easy. To replace the pot it's around $500. Yet the payout arm on a Speco cost $20 due to all the electronics living in the plater arm NOT the payout unit. I've been through this before, There is no cheap way out, I was just hoping there was a way to re-attach the payout arm to the pot. Here are the AMPS from my FAV place (sorry my dumb camera has cut off a few the amps) This one has Dolby Digital / DTS 35 / DTS 70 / Mag 35 / Mag 70. With QSC amps and Panalogic with Todd Ao and Dolby Here is the projector head, I was going to ask how is the best way to by-pass the DTS and go straight to Dolby Digital. But the Pic IS BAD. Oh my, I will get a new camera and re-submit the pics. This is BAD sorry Bill.  |  IP: Logged Jean-Michel Grin Expert Film Handler Posts: 222 From: Geneva & Lausanne, Switzerland Registered: Jul 2002 posted 01-13-2003 01:56 PM                        Bill, I'm surprised that a POT cost a lot like this, and thats a fact, theses part a very fragile. But i have an idea. You told me that a POT cost $500. Maybe is a special part, One time I dismounted on of theses Payout head, there was two POT inside the same enclosure, conected in serial. Maybe you could find a multi-turn POT at your local Radio-Shak store ant mount it on the payout head with a metal part (sorry I don't know the real term in English) Good Luck !  |  IP: Logged Bill Langfield Master Film Handler Posts: 280 From: Prospect, NSW, Australia Registered: Apr 2001 posted 01-16-2003 11:46 AM                        Jean-Michel, Thanks for the e-mail on the Cinemaccina pots, that was nice of you. The pay-out has been put in for repairs with a quote of $250. Since I paid $500 twice for just the pot, this will be interesting. There is NO way there is two pots in there, and I can tell you for SURE that Radio Shack will NOT have the pots!!! I'll get some better pictures of the payout. Will get a new camera soon, the d-cam sux, V-cam sux, Kodak is cool but they are like $500-$1200 Thanx Bill.  |  IP: Logged Jean-Michel Grin Expert Film Handler Posts: 222 From: Geneva & Lausanne, Switzerland Registered: Jul 2002 posted 01-17-2003 03:50 AM                        Ok Bill, Maybe I'll be wrong, but several years ago I dismounted one of theses POTS an I discovered a multiturn cermet POT (like the pot on a Dolby card) mounted at the bottom of the main POT. Efectively these POT are expensive even in Europa, saled a assembly for Euros 316.- = $ 350.- I mean that is too expensive.. good Luck, and sorry for my bad English...

Pretty crappy and one major thing is wrong with that projector....you can actually see into the gear side of the projector. Its was probably THE only one on the entire chain that is clean.....

USA (1774.21 miles northeast of Dallas) Registered: Jun 99 posted 01-21-2003 10:22 PM                        Steve--is the second motor a selsyn unit for 3D? And aren't those Enarcs a bit beefy for a screening-room-size screen? We get about 18-20fl with a similar model on a 25-foot screen (8mm positive and 7mm negative at 60 amps).  |  IP: Logged
