Okay here is an interesting machine I would like find the history off. In the Projector Picture Trust they have a booth from Spain with a machine clled a OSSA VI and they say it might be spanish or italian
Any Ideas the only spanish builder I know of is Wassman

Gordon,I know another spanish constructor, go and see http://www.proyecson.com/ingles/principal.htm
They are far better than Wassman.
O.K, I admit it's not very difficult!

There projector looks alot like a Prevost but the pictures aren't to clear
For quiet a few years we had a pair of Wassman Eurokino 35/70mm machines here at Ontario Place and in fact they looked like they had been built by a blacksmith they gave almost no trouble other than replaceing gate bands yearly.
These machines ran 7 days a week running a interlocked 3d 70mm film on a almost continous basis. The third machine is in the Gorge theatre in elora (pics in warehouse) and it has been running with only one broken gear since it was installed i the mid 80's
THe other 2 machines were sold when the pod closed here after been used for 10 years
One is in the closed chicago museum the other is in the museum at the highland cinema in kinmount
It was amazing just how steady of image they produced the picture was 58' wide on a 30' throw
