Author Topic: More junk for sale on Ebay Monte L Fullmer Film God Posts: 8367 From: Nampa, Idaho, USA Registered: Nov 2004 posted 11-26-2005 02:21 AM                     Looking at the stuff, them bulbs boxes are pretty old with that old serial numbering system. Guillitoine splicer looks good though... Pretty trickey in putting the flat and the scope lenses together in making it look like one lens - made me wonder of the two collars on the anamorphics. ..but I agree with that one comment that the one looker had to mention to the seller.....  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 11-26-2005 04:48 AM                     What a stack of junk. $38,000??? I wouldn't give $1000 for that. For about the same money, someone could get two Kinoton heads, two good Christie SLC lamphouses and two AW3 (not the shitty AW2) platters all brand new! People are stupid.  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 11-26-2005 04:59 AM                        quote: The guy selling this crap on eBay I had [somebody ask me about] "visable red light analog readers" I just spoke to the man who owned and operated this equipment. He told me that it is "analog" and that it should accept commercially distributed movies and did so until 3 years ago. I hope [t]his clears up any questions. Sure does. It means it cannot play many movies today and will grow obsolete as fast as possible. Obviously the seller knows nothing about projection equipment. If anyone ever truly deserved to be mauled by an illegally owned pit bull, it is this person.  |  IP: Logged Jack Ondracek Film God Posts: 2348 From: Port Orchard, WA, USA Registered: Oct 2002 posted 11-26-2005 08:29 AM                        Typical disclaimer on Ebay items: "I have not personally tested it, so I don't know if it works. However, I did plug it in and the little flashy lights look pretty, so I think it's ok." If they don't know anything about what they're listing, you gotta wonder what they're doing with the stuff in the first place. On the other hand, he thinks that setup's worth $38kBucks, so maybe I answered my own question. Sheesh!  |  IP: Logged Scott Norwood Film God Posts: 8146 From: Boston, MA. USA (1774.21 miles northeast of Dallas) Registered: Jun 99 posted 11-26-2005 10:43 AM                        Even better is when the seller is (for example) selling a camera and says "I don't know anything about cameras, so I couldn't test it" and then, when you check his other items for sale, it turns out that all he sells is cameras.  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 11-26-2005 05:07 PM                     Here it is boys... never seen before on E-Bay and I'm not sure what the heck its doing here...... but you can now own this..... I already have enough camera movements on the shelf! A genuine Cinerama camera MOVEMENT assy. These were hand built by the Wall camera Co in New York and are very similar to the standard Wall movement except thet it pulls 6 perfs instead of the normal 4. Heck... this deserves a photo posted....  |  IP: Logged Monte L Fullmer Film God Posts: 8367 From: Nampa, Idaho, USA Registered: Nov 2004 posted 11-27-2005 02:36 AM                     Very interesting, but what's real sad is what is someone going to do with this Cinerama movement-especially with just one "eye"? ..guess it'll have to be a 3200 dollar collector's item to sit on the shelf...  |  IP: Logged Tim Reed Better Projection Pays Posts: 5246 From: Northampton, PA Registered: Sep 1999 posted 11-27-2005 04:15 AM                       Mark, what happened to Able and Baker? quote: Jon Miller Only $38,000 for the opening bid? Sometimes, I think people just list things to show that they've got them. Like a lot of film collectors in the Big Reel used to do. They have no intention of selling it.  |  IP: Logged Joshua Waaland Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 800 From: Cleveland, Ohio Registered: Dec 1999 posted 11-27-2005 02:01 PM                     I e-mailed that guy and told him that he would never sell that stuff for $38,000 when someone could buy new equipment for that price. He replied "well I have gotten a lot of interest". Great! Doesn't mean you will sell it. Some people just have no clue. Good example of ebay greediness again. He is trying to hit a grand slam on one sale.  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 11-27-2005 08:49 PM                     quote: Tim Reed Mark, what happened to Able and Baker? Tim, I think Able and Baker were used to make the "new" Cinerama printer(s) for the last round of new three panel prints. Keep in mind these had B&H pins for producing a new interneg., and one may have been converted to KS pins to make the actual release prints(These are pin regestered). Interesting, ha guys..... now you all know where Arri amd Moviecam got the idea for their camera movements. These Wall cameras and "Arri like movements" were around for decades before the Arri BL and Moviecam were even a thought! There is a 35mm Wall camera in the Photo Pages at the Chicago Cinema Museum, but its mis-labeled as a Mitchell NC, its the one on the old camera crane.

It has been relisted here. So far, no bids.  |  IP: Logged Tim Reed Better Projection Pays Posts: 5246 From: Northampton, PA Registered: Sep 1999 posted 12-01-2005 03:45 AM                       quote: Ebay imbecile Old wooden 7up bottle crate with turds. The guy couldn't have just turned it upside down to clean it out? People will literally try to sell garbage on Ebay, and often, some schmuck will buy it. This is beyond me.  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 12-01-2005 09:45 AM                     What makes them think it is raccoon turds?  |  IP: Logged
