Is there a standard number of Goldberg house reels that would typically be provided for a multi-use venue that occasionally shows films? This will be a 35mm changeover house, 2000' reels only, probably doing an occasional classics series and the odd special event.
Obviously, this depends on the programming, but is there a starting point?
I'm inclined to think that the number should be 15-20, plus two split reels, a trailer flange, and a Neumade reel cabinet. Shafts will be 5/16", so they could run off of shipping reels if necessary. Obviously, they will need fewer reels than if they were a commercial theatre or one which regularly runs festivals.
This is a smallish community theatre; there is a budget, but it is not unlimited.
Oh, and is anyone else annoyed by Neumade lens cabinets? A venue like this would typically have eight lenses (four formats), but the cabinet only holds four, unless you trust the little shelf things, which I don't. Thus, you either end up with two lens cabinets and two empty slots (for lenses in the projectors), or one lens cabinet and two lenses with no home.
