I do a yearly movie night at my son's gradeschool. Last year I did a changeover with two old Pageants. This year I got an arc Pageant off of ebay and two very large floating hub reels (thanks to one of these forums) and I'm trying to rig up a feature-length take-up system. I'm sure someone here has suggestions on how to do it? Anyone got pictures?

Thanks in advance,

Webster

Damn. I actually had a factory built 6000' Eiki xenon and never used it with larger than 2300's. What a waste with all the effort you guys are going to to rube up one.
