We saw some strange equipment today. We didn't recognize the platters.The name on the platter is NSP
Tree is grey, the platters were steel and flat. The payout assemblies were the strangest I had ever seen.
We also saw the new Nuemade platter. What do you think of that?

Ian, are you talking about the new Kinetons with the pressure switches on the payout and no swinging arm perhaps?

No! Kinotones would be too classy for this joint. It is a theatre where the previous operator dumped his old equipment befor he sold it out to someone who didn't know better. I have photos but I am just not familier with them.

Ian, please post the photos of the platters so we can identify them.

NSPs are Cinema Film Systems newest version of the Super Platter...By any chance Ian were you out in Sebastopol??? Or did you get a tour of the Roxy? Cause if they're putting NSP's in the Roxy... then they're dumber than all get out.
We run 2 of them in our "Screening Rooms" at our 9-Plex... we have serial #1 #2 - Aaron can tell you some terrible stories about the bearings seizing up on us... WOO-FUN.

Oh yeah... what theatre are you talking about while you're at it...I'd like to know who else has been thrown in the NSP boat with us...
