audience in love of cinema!

This machine (SN 1622) ran it's first film February 6, 1961 in Odense (Birthplace of H C Andersen) in Denmark. "Porgy and Bess" in Todd-AO. See this link.The machine was donated to the museum (November 1998) in Bradford by Nordisk Film, my company here in Copenhagen. See this link.
I look forward to see the result next Friday.

Wasn't there a 35/70 machine there before? What did this one replace? Are you using the Super Curvulon or more modern optics?BTW, I can't help a little nitpicking: The word "its" only gets an apostrophe when it's (<--see) a contraction of "it is." A simple possessive would just be "its" without one, just like his and hers don't have one either.

What type and what wattage of lamp are you running on the DP-70?
Nows the time once and for all to have a shoot out(literally) between the Vic 8 and a DP-70!!
