Author Topic: Site with pics of old projectors Thomas Jonsson Expert Film Handler Posts: 216 From: Bromolla, Sweden Registered: Sep 2003 posted 09-04-2004 08:31 AM                       If you want to look at pictures of all kinds of old projectors, enjoy this site: http://perso.wanadoo.fr/projecteur.cinema/ Take a look at the 35/70mm Norelco, that can´t possibly be a DP 70?

The website is cool though Read Rule # 7  |  IP: Logged Jon Miller Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 973 From: San Diego, CA, USA Registered: Sep 1999 posted 09-04-2004 09:11 AM                     [Edit...Richard got his post in just as I started to write this...I am just too slow! ] Not a bad site, especially with such oddities as an Eiki -- yes, an Eiki -- 35mm pedestal projector and that funky green Westar/Century portable. Another link to bookmark... (The only problem is the teaser title and the forum this thread is in.)  |  IP: Logged Thomas Jonsson Expert Film Handler Posts: 216 From: Bromolla, Sweden Registered: Sep 2003 posted 09-04-2004 09:35 AM                       Very sorry about the title. My mind was only on getting it posted. I promise to be more careful in the future.

From there you can change the title to something more descriptive. Easy as that.  |  IP: Logged Thomas Jonsson Expert Film Handler Posts: 216 From: Bromolla, Sweden Registered: Sep 2003 posted 09-04-2004 09:48 AM                       Better ?

Looks like a Super with the optional hand crank. But then he's got other things called Supers that don't look like Supers. Whatever it is, I like FPS speedometer. A good a place to ask this as any: Why did brands like Brenkert and Motiograph fail?  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 09-04-2004 10:54 AM                     There are tons of mistakes on his site and we should write to him and let him know. The Norelco 35/70 is actually a Crown 35/70 and he lists my VistaVision as a Century Vistavision of which it is just a loose copy. I added many improvements over the standad Century VistaVision projector. The three Cinerama projectors are actually Cinemiracle projectors that belong to a friend of mine.... I took the photo! The first Simplex shown at the left of his row is actually a 70mm Grandeur Projector. The portable adaption of the Century is certainly unique though!

Lauderdale, FL, USA Registered: Jun 2001 posted 09-04-2004 11:39 AM                     Fumeo's 35mm projector was supplied by the Marin company of Barcelona, Spain that also made the MP-30 portable. Charlin when they went out of business, sold some of their patents to Norelco with some features ending up in the FP20 series. Horston may have been in business today ( in some form )if the French government had allowed foriegn majority ownership.  |  IP: Logged Per Hauberg Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 883 From: Malling, Denmark Registered: Jul 2000 posted 09-04-2004 12:18 PM                        If that's a DP70, it's a maltracted one, I dare say. Not even in America, that ugly box is normal, I think...  |  IP: Logged Tony Hall Film Handler Posts: 18 From: Saginaw, TX, United States Registered: Jun 2004 posted 09-04-2004 01:26 PM                     Neat Site.

It was introduced in 1928. We have a pair of them at the Stanley in Utica, NY.  |  IP: Logged Bruce McGee Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1776 From: Asheville, NC USA... Nowhere in Particular. Registered: Aug 1999 posted 09-04-2004 06:01 PM                     The Holmes portable machine he shows on his page is actually a Holmes Professional model. Its not like the model 8's that I have at all. The Professional is not a portable.  |  IP: Logged
