In the second photo of the newly added Cinema Latino gallery, what model automation box is that mounted on the wall? I know it's a Xetron but not sure about the model number. I've seen them quite often on this site, and it seems to be the standard in the GCC package. Any other comments on the automation are welcome (good or bad).

It's probably a Xetron Maxi-10. The whole place looks like a former GCC house (Cinemecannica V5s and lamphouses, AW3s, etc.).

They work fine, but are pretty basic.

Yep, a Maxi-10C. I haven't figured out the exact model definition scheme, but I think the "C" meant the addition of the timer. As Scott said, pretty basic, but there are still quite a few in use.

The "C" referred to Capitol Motion Picture Supply, NYC. The timer was the biggest part of the "special" but there were other smaller differences as well. Louis
