Author Topic: Crown dumps 15/70 systems Adam Martin I'm not even gonna point out the irony. Posts: 3686 From: Dallas, TX Registered: Nov 2000 posted 09-12-2002 11:22 AM                     Giantscreenbiz.com is reporting "Crown to Remove its 15/70 Systems ... Advanced Imaging Systems seeks rescuer". Since I'm too cheap to shell out the $300 for a subscription, has anyone here heard anything about this?  |  IP: Logged John Pytlak Film God Posts: 9987 From: Rochester, NY 14650-1922 Registered: Jan 2000 posted 09-12-2002 02:09 PM                        Call for Mr. John Walsh... ------------------ John P.

Advanced Image Systems laid off its last employees and closed its doors in early August. Other sources say that the Crown Theatres Mavericks will be replaced by Kinoton 8/70/35 projectors.  |  IP: Logged John Walsh Film God Posts: 2490 From: Connecticut, USA, Earth, Milky Way Registered: Oct 1999 posted 09-13-2002 12:10 AM                     Yes, it's true. We were.... just having tons of fun with it. Too much fun. Reminds me of the saying; "May you live in interesting times.." After all that fun, we decided we wanted something dull and boring, so we we got two of the Kinton 8/70 projectors with uninteresting regular intermittents. Apparently, 8/70 almost always uses DTS for sound; no more exciting editing operations! I guess we will be sitting around like the Maytag repairman. I will really notice it when they're gone. Especially my ears. I will try to take 'before' and 'after' pictures. Hasta la vista, ba-by. I'm trying to get to Showeast; Will there be a "Film-Tech" watering hole set up? For the price of a 7&7, (yeah a kid's drink I know) I will tell you how much fun we had. Giantscreenbiz.com is a little slow on this one. People asked me about this over two months ago. Why $300?  |  IP: Logged Adam Martin I'm not even gonna point out the irony. Posts: 3686 From: Dallas, TX Registered: Nov 2000 posted 09-13-2002 09:10 AM                     quote: Why $300? Exactly.
