Author Topic: Joe's New Picture.... Galen Murphy-Fahlgren Master Film Handler Posts: 405 From: Canton, MI, USA Registered: Oct 2007 posted 08-04-2008 11:32 PM                     quote: Joe Redifer We used it/them for projecting film, of course! Notice the innards are painted white. Do you know what that means Right, but the projectors I use for commercial projection have lenses for different formats is all. Mine are painted white on the inside, and have the upper clamshell parts cut off in order to accommodate a Kelmar turret. I'd guess mine to be about a million years old, and I haven't found a way to tell by the serial numbers, so I'm going with my million year estimate. I'd say any machine that runs reasonably well after a million years is a decent piece of work.  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 08-05-2008 08:42 AM                     quote: Monte L Fullmer or a vertical bevel and shutter drive gear replacement in a Super ......and get the shims just right.. Monte, You're not supposed to put any shims in the double bevel gear! It comes with the one shim it's supposed to have in it.

Monte: I used to have a Super that I built up from a dishpan of parts..it ran great and put out a steadier picture than most of today's machine..and it looked cool. My current XL is machine serial #128. It runs great, my only beef is that some jackalope in the past hacked the casing to run picture and track.  |  IP: Logged Monte L Fullmer Film God Posts: 8367 From: Nampa, Idaho, USA Registered: Nov 2004 posted 08-05-2008 11:50 PM                     quote: Tony Bandiera Jr ..it ran great and put out a steadier picture than most of today's machine..and it looked cool. ..after I rebuilt this one on a service call this last wknd, I did notice that these old timers could put out a very steady and decent show.. Course, the lamphouses are just the small CHR CH10 variety with the small 1K bulbs in them, but was decent light to fill a screen at over 70 ft away, but right off, I knew that they could have easilly used 2k bulbs, but didn't say anything...due to the old carbon arc lamphouses ran 7 and 8mm rods. -Monte  |  IP: Logged
