That would be a cruel joke.  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 01-12-2001 03:13 PM                     Moving to Film Yak.  |  IP: Logged Randy Stankey Film God Posts: 6539 From: Erie, Pennsylvania Registered: Jun 99 posted 01-12-2001 09:50 PM                     Christie projectors ARE a cruel joke!  |  IP: Logged Kevin Crawford Expert Film Handler Posts: 207 From: Sacramento, CA, USA Registered: May 2000 posted 01-13-2001 11:08 PM                     I recall one time some corporate types came in to inspect the booth. Of course there was some oil on the floor. What do you expect with old Simplexes. They asked why the projectors were leaking. And without skipping a beat he said, "It's a Simplex, therefore it leaks."  |  IP: Logged Randy Stankey Film God Posts: 6539 From: Erie, Pennsylvania Registered: Jun 99 posted 01-14-2001 01:47 AM                     I remember being told that Simplex (Strong) was going to make a digital projector but they had to abandon the project. Seems they couldn't figre out a way to make the thing leak oil!  |  IP: Logged Ethan Harper E-dawggg!!!

Somebody took out those three little screws that hold the cover plate (et.al.) onto the side of the sound head tension roller. "Where's the joke in that?", you ask... Well, once some genius takes them out, he'll be in for a rude awakening when he discovers that he can't get them back in! The joke is standing there and watching him DENY that he took them out and swearing on his mother's eyes that they "Just fell out"!!!  |  IP: Logged
