We are just about ready to have a big debris bin brought in to trash all of our 35mm equipment. Before we do so, I just want to see if there is anyone in Northern California who is interested in taking away any of what we have.

If you need specific parts off of any of this equipment, we can probably arrange that as well. I don't want to deal with any shipping, but if there are small parts you need, we might be able to work that out if you pay shipping.

Here's a quick run down:
-7 x Xetron 3K lamphouse
-5 x Simplex Millennium projector w/5 star sound head (without automated turret)
-3 x Simplex 1050 projector w/5 star sound head
-2 x Century projectors (not sure of model off the top of my head)
-11 x Christie AW3 platters (4 with removable brains)
-5 x Christie lamp houses (not sure of models). Some have Phoenix kits. One has lamp house, rectifier, and control panel as separate units.
-AW3 centering rings
-6K house reels
-2K house reels
-Component Engineering LED controllers
-Misc. small parts (including sprockets, tension bands, switches, diodes, etc)
-Several Simplex and Century intermittents

I have been watching the site for about a year now and I finally registered. I need a component engineering FM35 fail safe cue detector. I know I am not located in California but I would be willing to pay for shipping. If you have one would that be one of the items you would be willing to ship? Also any Dolby CAT. 701/702s either. Thanks.

Are the Dolby CAT 701/702 cards within the processors? If so, we are not scrapping the processors as they still seem to have some resale value.

I'm not sure of the model of cue detector/fail safe we have, but it is not the Component Engineering brand. I'll post a picture later today of what we have.

I mean the actual dolby digital penthouse sound reader, either a 701 or 702. Really all I need is a fail safe that is compatible with component engineering TA-10 automation. Thanks.

No, Justin they are the Dolby Digital penthouse sound heads.

Shouldn't this be in the Equipment and Supplies section below?

Posted by Justin Hamaker (Member # 2165) on 10-27-2011, 04:34 PM:

No, we don't have any Dolby sound heads.

Private message sent. Let me know if you would be willing to ship some of the smaller parts; I would pay for shipping, as I know of some nonprofits that could use this stuff and which would appreciate the donation.

Also, do you have any lenses?

Matthew, check your PM's.

Justin: Someone just asked me recently about reels..I'll try to find his info and send him your way. [Smile]

I'm after some Century traps and damper roller assys for R3's if there are any available.

Hi..there...

Is it possible for you to sent AW3 platter and projector head. I will bear the shipping cost. I'm from Malaysia(Asia). Do let me know ?

Posted by Justin Hamaker (Member # 2165) on 10-28-2011, 05:03 AM:

Ram, I would really prefer to avoid shipping freight, especially internationally.

Posted by Jim Henk (Member # 3628) on 10-28-2011, 10:36 AM:

Justin, I did want to say thank you for doing this. I wish there was more of this around instead of the automatic rush to the scrap yards. Be well.

Justin, I am about 2 hours away from you in Vacaville. I am interested in some of the equipment. I am sending you a PM with my contact info.

Posted by Gibbs Chapman (Member # 4999) on 10-28-2011, 09:09 PM:

Scott and Gibbs - I sent you both some private email. Please read and get back to me. Gibbs, email addresses and phone numbers in forums posts are against the rules. Might want to edit that out.

Interested in the 6K reels
