Well, in a little less than two weeks I will be leaving the manager/operator scene behind at my current theater to join the projection staff at the new 16-plex that is opening in my town in 3 weeks. Finally, I'm a projetionist! No more running up and down the stairs all night!Our projectors are Kinoton. I don't know the model number, but I'll post all that stuff as soon as I find out. I know many of you love Kinoton and believe they are the best. I am currently using the FP-23C. I like it. I took a close look at the new theater's projectors, and they look like they thread the exact same way. So at least I'm familliar with the projectors. The lamphouses and platter, on the other hand, are a different story. Big Sky. I've never used any of their equipment. Heck, I didn't even know they made platters! Any tips for me? Again, I'll post model numbers when I find out. Wish me luck!  ------------------
This one time, at Projection Camp, I stuck a xenon bulb....

And, hey! Let's be careful out there. ~Manny.

Congrats!!
As a user of Kinoton,Philips,Norelco products, you are dealing with top-notch equipment, I've seen the Big Sky Consoles instaled here in a few new theatres, they are quite good, Irem power supply integrated, and they give good light, keep us posted!   ------------------

Congratulations Ken! Sounds like you've gotten on with a good company. May you enjoy many miles of "film done right."Hope nobody minds if I ride on this thread too. After 10 months of under-employment and eight years away from the craft, I am a projectionist once again, also at a company that uses Kinoton equipment (KP60D)--Crown Theatres. Our new 14-plex opens at Neonopolis here on May 2nd. Got off to a bit of a rough start by breaking my ankle on my first day (!) but it looks like I will survive to help see the new place off to a good start. BTW we're using the Big Sky platters too, as does the Brenden Palms 14 here. Cheers! Paul
