It IS a V-8 base from the old TransLux (70mm) in Clarksville, IN. I split it in about 1980; then divided it again in about 1990. This theatre had been a Premier/Regal/discount house until about 2-3 years ago. Louis

Some parts not included and are extra for the ferris wheel. That would be great for Phil's yard. Just think of that large ferris wheel sitting in the Hollywood Hills near the Hollywood sign.

Re: the V8 pedestal.. dig the typical Ebay-ese, full of contradictions:

Cinemeccanica still makes this projection equipment...
This is a rare item...
we know little about this...


If they don't know anything about it, how do they know it's rare? And, how is it rare if Cinemeccanica still makes it? [Razz]

Tim,

This is just an example of the abuse of "boiler plate" wording. If it sounds good then use it. There are suggestions by eBay for the things buyers want to see in your ad. These are not necessarily accurate although they may sound really good.

If there ever was a place for the old Latin expression "Buyer Beware!" this is it.

I am amused by the descriptions of electronics that say "It powers up!" and is then followed by the disclaimer, "I don't know how to test this piece of equipment." So that means the pilot lamp lights and the fuse doesn't blow but all else is unknown.

Could it be set on the road and rolled to Phil's? Is a nine story erection going to be a record?

And you could mount a screen on the wheel's structure to show the ferris wheel sequence from Spielberg's "1941"(1979) at night! [Smile]

I just love it when these people take pictures of ebay items while in the buff. Don't they at least look at their reflections in the picture before they post it?
