No... No... ! You didn't notice the big chip... I mean, the precision key-notch that's cut on the top edge of the tool. That's an exciter lamp filament re-attachment and lateral alignment motivator. It's also used sparingly on projector lenses (in changeover booths) for trimming horizontal screen placement. Its use was adapted from the Cinerama system, where it saw wide usage as a registration tool.  |  IP: Logged Paul G.

Price looks reasonable for everthing that is there. If I was within 50 miles of the place, I would bid on it. I wonder if Gordon knows this guy?  |  IP: Logged Gordon McLeod Film God Posts: 9532 From: Toronto Ontario Canada Registered: Jun 99 posted 10-13-2003 07:31 PM                     No idea who it is  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 10-13-2003 09:03 PM                     What I want to know is how the heck they rivited the tag on the back of that glass YKK mirror...... Dig that raised theatre seat too........ Paul, you could move back to the Manitowoc homeland and the shipping would be alot less....then you could compete with that western Electric dude over in Redmond!!
