William Valdes Film Handler Posts: 37 From: San Diego, CA Registered: Sep 2004 posted 05-24-2005 06:02 PM                     Can someone help me out? Who sells these?  |  IP: Logged Eric Robinson Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 538 From: Santa Rosa, CA Registered: Jan 2005 posted 05-24-2005 06:19 PM                     I'm not sure what a platter reel is, but I have seen Goldberg 2000 foot reels for sale on EBay which have been going for between $20.00 and $30.00.  |  IP: Logged Dominic Espinosa Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1172 From: Boulder Creek, CA.

You drop it on the platter and play the film off it rather than transfer it from the reel to the platter then play it. Your regular cinema dealer should sell it, I'd think. RSEM or whoever oughta have it.  |  IP: Logged Ken Layton Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1452 From: Olympia, Wash.

So, get that one approved in your budget.  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 05-25-2005 01:01 AM                     You can order it without the "shipping case" to save a bit of money.  |  IP: Logged John Pytlak Film God Posts: 9987 From: Rochester, NY 14650-1922 Registered: Jan 2000 posted 05-25-2005 08:16 AM                        Goldberg Bros.: http://www.itea.com/memberdata.php quote: Goldberg Brothers Inc. 8000 E. 40th Ave. Denver, CO 80207 U.S.A.

We tend to have many promo and press screenings with our prints arriving 2 hours before showtime. There are those days however, that these prints will arrive 30-45 minutes before showtime and this platter reel would really be a life saver. I should have no problem getting it approved for our budget as our Senior Management is always worried about our press/promo screenings.  |  IP: Logged
