Author Topic: Film-Tech Screening Room (current) pics Monte L Fullmer Film God Posts: 8367 From: Nampa, Idaho, USA Registered: Nov 2004 posted 02-03-2010 01:06 AM                     Those Seeburg vinyls .. do they spin at 16-2/3rpm? If I remember, they're 10inch vinyls with a inch and a half hole in the middle ... very propriatory for just one usage. I used to see these vinyls in thrift stores many moons ago.. Still, quite the unit in itself.. great music from MUZAK .. your classic "elevator music." -Monte  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 02-03-2010 01:32 AM                        I want to say that the Seeburg music system looks really cool and I love the types of music it plays linked to on the Youtube vids, etc... but with the crowd that roams here I can see this thread turning into a Seeburg discussion thread vs a screening room discussion. Damn good thing you didn't have a train replica or something in there.  |  IP: Logged Damien Taylor Master Film Handler Posts: 493 From: Perth, Western Australia Registered: Apr 2007 posted 02-03-2010 01:52 AM                     I'm pretty sure Brad and myself are the last two collectors of these records, so as soon as I die, the thread can continue.  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 02-03-2010 01:58 AM                     Yes they are 16 2/3RPM and yes they have an oddly large center hole. The reason for this was because Seeburg didn't want the records "out". They charged a penalty if the records were not returned at the end of the quarterly usage interval, although like anything tons got into private hands. I plan on recording these to CDs for archive when I get a bit of time.  |  IP: Logged Damien Taylor Master Film Handler Posts: 493 From: Perth, Western Australia Registered: Apr 2007 posted 02-03-2010 08:20 AM                     Quite analogous with 35mm film prints really.  |  IP: Logged Sean Weitzel Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 619 From: Vacaville, CA (1790 miles west of Rockwall) Registered: Dec 1999 posted 02-03-2010 10:58 AM                     Brad, are the discs you have currently loaded in the machine your only collection or do you have more records? Packs of discs seem to be pretty common on ebay.  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 02-03-2010 12:01 PM                        So did anyone besides me notice that not only are the media pads on the film cleaners on both projectors freshly soaked, but the one on the platter as well? Always ready to go! I also noted that the winding of the pads was consistent with the diagram on the cleaners themselves. I think the last time that was done was for the Filmguard product shoot. Speaking of which, how rare are the 70mm pads becoming?  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 02-03-2010 12:05 PM                     I have brand new packs of records, but I am not going to open them until we finish the rebuild on the Seeburg. Joe, I don't normally load the media that way as you know, but the media in here is never reused since it is rare to run the same print twice in a row so it doesn't much matter and after all, it was picture time.  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 02-03-2010 12:30 PM                        Yeah I figured. But you missed my last question. Have you ever had a roll of media slit nearly twice as wide just to have plenty of 70mm media for the future? Or does Kelmar still stock the stuff?  |  IP: Logged Phil Hill I love my cootie bug Posts: 7595 From: Hollywood, CA USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 02-03-2010 03:50 PM                  quote: The Grand-Poo-BAH Yes they are 16 2/3RPM and yes they have an oddly large center hole. The discs are 9" in diameter and the center hole is 2"... Regular 45's are 7" in diameter with a 1.5" center hole. Brad: Did you get that unit already modified or did you do it/have it done for you? By who? I want to do similar to my "Plain Jane" unit...Your machine is REALLY cool! quote: Damien Taylor Quite analogous with 35mm film prints really. Damien: Great insight and analogy!  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 02-03-2010 04:46 PM                     We manufacture the 70mm pads. I've no idea if Kelmar still does or not. The guy I bought it from put the plexiglass cover on it and the lights/mirror background. OMG Joe.
