Author Topic: Service Tech - SF Bay Area - DTS Install Mike Spaeth Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1129 From: Marietta, GA Registered: Jul 2000 posted 09-28-2010 01:44 PM                        I need to coordinate installation of 2 DTS 6-D units (newly refurbished) at a location in the South Bay on Thursday morning. Does anyone have any recommendations on qualified service techs I can use?  |  IP: Logged Richard Hamilton Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1341 From: Evansville, Indiana Registered: Jan 2000 posted 09-28-2010 02:10 PM                     Clyde McKinney, one of the best . He lives in the bay area.

Tony would be a good choice. (if available). If not, Clyde, Sam or Lonnie (if he's still around) are the three best people I know from the bay area. good luck, Rick  |  IP: Logged Sam D. Chavez Film God Posts: 2153 From: Martinez, CA USA Registered: Aug 2003 posted 09-28-2010 09:53 PM                       To the best of my knowledge, Clyde is out of own in LA, Lonny lives in Boston these days, and I have a business to run, but thanks for thinking of me. Who mentioned Hawthorne?  |  IP: Logged Tony Bandiera Jr Film God Posts: 3067 From: Moreland Idaho Registered: Apr 2004 posted 09-28-2010 10:09 PM                     Richard, thanks for the endorsement but if Mike's sites are in Northern California they are at least 6 hours and 400 miles away so the travel time and mileage I would need to bill for would be prohibitive. Sam, Richard is referring to where I live. Which as you know is a bit of a drive from your area.  |  IP: Logged Richard Hamilton Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1341 From: Evansville, Indiana Registered: Jan 2000 posted 09-29-2010 12:43 AM                     Mike, Have you asked DTS if they have any techs or recommendations for the area? Karen was always very helpful when I needed anything. Sam, I think Clyde is always out of town or country. I forgot about Lonny moving. I used to talk to him for hours every weekend when I was going through my divorce. I ended up falling out of touch with him.

Clyde was in Qatar, but recommended another company (Harrah) that got it done. Thanks for the help!  |  IP: Logged Aaron Sisemore Flaming Ribs beat Reeses Peanut Butter Cups any day!

I wasn't quite sure if San Jose was too much of a jaunt from Petaluma for you.  |  IP: Logged Mike Croaro Master Film Handler Posts: 394 From: Millbrae, CA Registered: Apr 2005 posted 10-07-2010 08:02 PM                     Hi Mike: "Harrah" as in Gerry Harrah of Harrah's Theatre Suipply in Hayward, CA? He is a really good guy. He did work for a couple of theatres I worked in. He must be in his late 60's by now. What theatre in the South Bay? Just curious. Mike  |  IP: Logged Sam D. Chavez Film God Posts: 2153 From: Martinez, CA USA Registered: Aug 2003 posted 10-08-2010 01:08 PM                       Some of us are way old. Don't let my picture fool you; I age but my picture does not. Jerry Harrah is even older than me, but he uses better preservatives.  |  IP: Logged Richard Hamilton Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1341 From: Evansville, Indiana Registered: Jan 2000 posted 10-08-2010 02:27 PM                     quote: Sam D. Chavez I age but my picture does not Sam, when was your picture taken? You look the same as the day I met you. I forget which year/trade show, but I think it was when you designed the 35mm analog penthouse reader for the Mega 8/70-35. Any way, you look the same in your pic as all the times I've seen you.

I remember him as a callow youth out of Spokane, who came to San Francisco to work in the purchasing dept of the old Fox West Coast circuit who were quite a player at that time. These days, nobody ever heard of them.  |  IP: Logged
