The worst booth is a brand new booth (year old or newer) that is already dirty as hell with brand new projectors falling to pieces...there are two theaters near my home like that. A Regal and a Carmike. The Regal still has buckets of drywall and ceiling tile laying around full of cement dust that hasn't been cleaned up. I feel there's little hope for the dust and dirt that has accumulated after the place was built. ------------------ "And the monkey flips the switch." - Major Don West, "Lost In Space" Andrew D'Vrey IATSE Local 219

Worst place I worked at was a UA 5-plex (now closed.) All of the equipment was peiced together. There was a Century head with a Simplex soundhead, a Simplex head with an RCA sound head, Two ORC lamps and 3 Christies lamps, etc, etc. The only thing that was the same at all screens were Potts 5-tier platters, but those were peiced together, also (old motors, new motors; new decks, bent, 'wavey' decks; bright orange paint, dirty scratched paint, etc, etc.) One 5-tier was only being used for one screen, so two decks worth of payout heads, decks, and motors were gone.
