Author Topic: Call for submissions - this means YOU Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 10-08-2003 07:08 AM                     It's been over 9 months solid of a new "daily update" addition to the site. Every day for 9 months and a week now without exception something new has been added to the site, whether it is a tips page, a product review, a manual download, a video or picture tours of theaters. The stack in the queue is starting to get awful low and at this point I am determined to see just how long this can run without missing a day. If you have a manual that is not on the site, please send it in. If your theater(s) do not have picture pages on the site already, please grab a camera and help us expand the evergrowing Picture Warehouse tours. Tips pages are always welcome, as are guest reviewers and documentation of special events. Please email me for more info. Let the world see what your theater(s) are doing with picture tours and help the spread of knowledge with manuals, tips and other submissions. Even something as simple as an old manual that you might consider completely useless and outdated could be a goldmine of assistance to someone else out there.  |  IP: Logged Rachel Craven Madam Moderator Posts: 2190 From: Pensacola, FL Registered: Dec 2000 posted 10-08-2003 08:05 AM                     Yes Master...  |  IP: Logged Luciano Brigite Master Film Handler Posts: 277 From: Sao Paulo, SP, Brazil Registered: Jan 2002 posted 10-08-2003 09:14 AM                     Pictures of a projector being rebuilt ( before,during and after work) count?  |  IP: Logged David Rigby Expert Film Handler Posts: 134 From: Chorlton, Manchester, UK Registered: May 2002 posted 10-09-2003 05:09 AM                     Assuming I couldn't possibly have anything worth adding to film-tech's formidable library I totally forgot about this...I have a complete parts manual and (somewhat brief) user's instruction book for my Microcine 35. The parts manual in particular is hefty and runs to in excess of 100 pages. How do I submit this (assuming it's not already on film-tech somewhere!)? David ...on second thoughts 100 pages is probably a bit of an exaggeration. Probably 50 or so  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 10-09-2003 05:32 AM                     Since you are in the UK, it's not too terribly inexpensive to just drop a photocopy in the mail. Do you have a friend who has a scanner? Even if each page was scanned in as a jpg, we could assemble them back together and convert into a pdf.  |  IP: Logged David Rigby Expert Film Handler Posts: 134 From: Chorlton, Manchester, UK Registered: May 2002 posted 10-09-2003 06:28 AM                     I can scan the thing myself when I get chance. Don;t think I currently have any means of making a PDF out of it though.

I've found a few glitches with it, but for free, I'll work around it. The free version does popup a browser window with an ad (usually for one of their other products), but you can pay them $9.95 and get rid of the ad if it offends you.  |  IP: Logged Travis Hubrig Expert Film Handler Posts: 175 From: Minot ND, USA Registered: May 2003 posted 10-13-2003 03:40 PM                     Thanks, Scott I can finish scanning my CFS manuals today.  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 01-02-2004 01:10 AM                     It has now been officially over a year worth of updates. Anyone have picture tours or obscure manuals they can send in for the archives? If not, we're probably going to take a little break on the updates for awhile until we get more submissions. Thanks to everyone who has assisted by sending in submissions to help the spread of knowledge in 2003.  |  IP: Logged Warren Smyth Expert Film Handler Posts: 158 From: Auckland ,New Zealand Registered: Aug 2003 posted 01-06-2004 06:09 PM                     Brad I have manuals for a couple of models of Gaumont Kalee projectors that aren't on the site - GK 18 and GK 37. The 37 was the last and only soundhead combined projector unit they made. I also have manuals which include circuit diagrams for a number of models of Kalee valve sound installations. I don't have a scanner and am very happy to post them in, but would like them back after you have scanned them. Note that I'm not in your part of the world so return postage will be higher. Are you interested in publicity material for Kalee equipment?  |  IP: Logged Barry Floyd Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1079 From: Lebanon, Tennessee, USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 01-06-2004 11:18 PM                        Hey... you want 6 months of photos from "Ground Breaking Ceremony" to "Opening Night" of our new Drive-In Theatre construction in Tennessee?? I didn't have a digital camera, so they're all on regular 35mm - 4x6 prints. I do have a flat bed scanner and could scan them then burn them on CD an mail them to you?? Let me know..  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 01-06-2004 11:19 PM                     Barry, try to pick somewhere between 20-60 pics and send 'em in. Please check the submission guidelines on the "pictures" page so there is no confusion when the page is assembled. Warren, does anyone at your theater possibly have a scanner they could bring up one day? That would be a whole lot easier.  |  IP: Logged Phil Hill I love my cootie bug Posts: 7595 From: Hollywood, CA USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 01-06-2004 11:46 PM                  Does anyone have a manual for the defunct Rentec "Dream Catcher" projector? Thanks. >>> Phil  |  IP: Logged Aaron Garman Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1470 From: Toledo, OH USA Registered: Mar 2003 posted 01-07-2004 12:19 AM                     I've been wanting to take pictures of our place for awhile, so I'll try a little harder now. Just have to get my hands on a digicam or start scanning like a madman. Either way, it's your typical Cinemark but it's home to me.

What do you suggest is the best plan of attack for those photos?? Steve Brown  |  IP: Logged
