AGA Boise Daian Screening Room Spencer Theater  |  IP: Logged Ari Nordström Master Film Handler Posts: 283 From: Göteborg, Sweden Registered: Jan 2000 posted 05-01-2001 03:55 PM                     Hey, Brad, "AGA" isn't a theatre, it's a projector. Anyway, as you're probably aware of by now, the AGA pic captions are waiting in your mailbox.  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 05-01-2001 03:56 PM                     Never heard of it, but then again I don't bother looking at most pictures until the page is finished being built with captions. I did receive the captions and they will be in the next update.  |  IP: Logged Stefan Scholz Expert Film Handler Posts: 223 From: Schoenberg, Germany Registered: Sep 1999 posted 05-02-2001 02:16 PM                        Very nice projectors, made by AGA, an industrial giant of the past. The name would translate to "Gas Accumulation Corporation" (AB Gas Accumulator)- still well known for that business all over Europe. I think they stopped producing film equipment, while Phillips stopped making compressed gas, in some kind of a deal in the 60's.  |  IP: Logged Scott Norwood Film God Posts: 8146 From: Boston, MA. USA (1774.21 miles northeast of Dallas) Registered: Jun 99 posted 05-02-2001 03:56 PM                        There's a company called "AGA" that makes what are apparently the Rolls-Royce of kitchen stoves. Is this the same company that makes the film equipment?  |  IP: Logged Philippe Laude Film Handler Posts: 79 From: Longueville, Belgium Registered: Jul 99 posted 05-03-2001 01:16 AM                     Here in Belgium the AGA projectors are known under the name AGA BALTIC. I've seen one pair working in a private screening room last month.They're in like new condition and still working with carbons.Their color is Bordeau red. Magnificent! When you see one you can't help thinking to swedish cars of that time, like Volvo PV 444, for instance. ------------------  |  IP: Logged Ari Nordström Master Film Handler Posts: 283 From: Göteborg, Sweden Registered: Jan 2000 posted 05-13-2001 03:46 PM                     The part of the AGA company that made projectors was sold to Philips, AFAIK. And yes; it could very well be the same company that makes the kitchen stoves. I'm not sure but it rings a bell somewhere.  |  IP: Logged
