If they want any offers at all they'd better size the photos up in pixel count a bit so one can actually see whats there... All I can make out in the booth is an ORCON Lamphouse and Alpha platter. I bet Tim knows these people...

No, but I do know a party who is negotiating for the purchase of this theatre. [Wink]

I know when it is 6:30 / 8:00 / 9:15 am from the DC-3 cargo planes flying at 500 feet over my home en route to the Bahamas [Smile]

Richard... They were also using several DC-3 cargo planes to spray for mosquitos in the Florida Keys back in the early 70's when I used to go diving down there. I wonder if they still do or if the "Mangrove Huggers" put an end to that. They flew so low when they did that... I think just a couple of hundred feet up. It was pretty impressive when they went over!

In Tampa, Florida in the 1960s I remember the same type of "bug" treatment on the wetlands near the Bay that got the "DC-3" treatment. They finally stopped when it was found it was eating paint off of cars....hell with our lungs...or brains, but not our cars [Razz]

And a rather nice fully restored Holmes.

The Powers Cameragraph units all had square magazines to handle those small 1000ft reels - being the norm in those days for reel sizes.

Be kinda fun to see that low intensity arc lamp still work and hope the front condensor lens isn't all cloudy and cracked - and to still find carbons of that size.

..and I promise you that the INT assembly wasn't the Geneva Star movement that we have now, but it was a rolling pin variety - four pins on an arm that was attached to the sprocket shaft, placed across the flywheel which had two cutouts to allow the pins to roll through the flywheel to give the quarter turn per flywheel revolution.

The Powers movement allowed for fast pulldown for more light. The drawback was that required more maintinance....

Yep! 5 to 1 to be exact. They work great for telecine work with a simple 5 blade shutter and sync drive motor.
