Here is a far more interesting sneak preview if you ask me......
http://science.ksc.nasa.gov/shuttle/technology/sts-newsref/sts-mps.html

I think the Cinedingdong will soon be up there with ultra important things like the Gong Show, The Neumade Paddle, and, and Ian's 15kw xenon lamp.

So the "Cine Gong" doesn't ring your bell eh? Well everyone can think Mr. Tomlinson Holman for today's new addition. It's great reading.

Thank you Tom for sending it in! [Smile]

BTW, I think Mark had the better idea. Let's go ahead and put comments on updates in their own threads. Otherwise searching through the archive is going to be next to impossible once this thread gets larger. Please do put them in Yak though. (Today's update from Tomlinson Holman already has a thread going in FHF though.)

That was my idea dammit! [Big Grin]

While we're at it, how about we reserve this thread strictly for complaining about equipment manuals. [Smile]

BTW, I think the Cine Gong is supposed to be like quickly dimming/flashing the lights at the end of an intermission before the show restarts. Once I found out that it wasn't even true stereo I stopped reading.

Yes, but only one section of the manual at a time. The information overload is unbearable.

I will assume that everyone agrees with my Strong platter review 100% since there has been no mention of it. [Big Grin]

Wow. UA seemed to really love laserdisc players. I bet they thought that one day, theaters will show all movies on laserdisc instead of film -- because laserdiscs are the future! [Cool]

Speaking of which, anyone have any old UA laserdiscs with the "Magic Hat" or "Bladerunner" policies on them? Those were the best...

Well observed Michael. It was the opening week of the first Harry Potter film, the Adverts & Trailers ran 20 minutes followed by a 10 minute sales interval. By doing this and advertising the cinema opening time only in the press, we were able to fill the house in comfort at least 20 minutes before the feature. [Big Grin]

Just got done lookin' at the Rainbow Fairview Cinemas pictures, and I am really concerned. Looking at the pictures of the sound rack wiring, I am not sure if there are enough cable ties around the wiring to keep everything together. There seems to be a cable tie only every 2 inches or so. There should be one cable tie every 1/16th of an inch. If the wiring is left the way it is shown in the pictures, it will bust apart and get extremely disorganized within a month and could possibly kill somebody.
