Author Topic: Joe's New Picture.... Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 08-03-2008 10:25 PM                     Joe, How very appropriate that picture is . Hey, that looks like one of those oogy Regency consoles behind you . I know, they don't make trash cans that big... .

If he's gonna dump that one, I'll take it off his hands immediately..along with the DTS reader! (Now, if he was dumping a SuperSimplex in that can, then, that's fully understandable....) -Monte  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 08-04-2008 01:44 AM                        X-90 with CNA 100s. I've seen the CNA 150 and it doesn't look like it really does anything more other than have a useless 2-line text display and a super useless "learn cue" function. It may have a start timer but if there was one, I couldn't figure it out. CA21's for the win. X-90's take CXL-20Rs and not SC's, right? Oil leaks are usually easy to fix on Simplexes. Just make sure they don't have a ton of oil inside them and make sure the seals are clean. Christies are still way better, though. Mark G personally put two of the 4 flywheels on backwards in the BACP readers.  |  IP: Logged Tristan Lane Master Film Handler Posts: 444 From: Nampa, Idaho Registered: Feb 2002 posted 08-04-2008 02:28 AM                     Okay, What gives. WTF is up with the DTS reader light being on..... That doesn't make sense!! I say this was a total setup and everything was completely staged. What a sham. Should we post this in the photoshop disasters thread?  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 08-04-2008 02:46 AM                        quote: Tristan Lane I say this was a total setup and everything was completely staged. You mean you don't think that someone just happened to snap that picture as I was naturally doing this one day? From an alternate take: It's only natural that a lot of detail will be lost when resized to 110 pixels.  |  IP: Logged Monte L Fullmer Film God Posts: 8367 From: Nampa, Idaho, USA Registered: Nov 2004 posted 08-04-2008 04:26 AM                     ...odd way to drain the oil out of the front....but, if it works, it works.... Yea, CHR 20R's .. correct.  |  IP: Logged Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 08-04-2008 09:22 AM                        I thought the pic meant that you were dumping the 35mm machines for digital.  |  IP: Logged William T.

I vote he become a stand up comedian. What do you all think?  |  IP: Logged Galen Murphy-Fahlgren Master Film Handler Posts: 405 From: Canton, MI, USA Registered: Oct 2007 posted 08-04-2008 12:04 PM                     Hey, I'd take that XL over my V5s any day, although my XLs are older than that, by quite a bit I'd guess. What did you use that for that it doesn't have a turret?  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 08-04-2008 05:52 PM                        We used it/them for projecting film, of course! Notice the innards are painted white. Do you know what that means?  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 08-04-2008 06:18 PM                     It means the projector was old and crappy (not like it still isn't today, but that's another discussion) and that someone "rebuilt" it. Of course that means if the rebuild job wasn't done by someone like Hadden, all they did was paint it to look pretty. Actually come to think of it, some of those older Simplexes may have come from the factory white. Oh well it doesn't matter. It's a leaky old crappy Simplex. Right Phil?  |  IP: Logged Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 08-04-2008 06:54 PM                        quote: Galen Murphy-Fahlgren What did you use that for that it doesn't have a turret? Ours doesn't have a turret and we still use it every day. It doesn't leak either (well, much).  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 08-04-2008 08:51 PM                     At first I thought he was just a shakin all the film crud and fuzz out of the head... then I saw the trash can... Now I'm just waitin for Tim (Er one of the Strong Boys) to post a 15 second movie showing a P35 being dropped off the Empire State Building... Oh wait it'd take longer than 15 seconds to hit the ground from that height... Does F-T have the bandwidth to do that? I guess to be fair they'd have to carry it to the top of the tower thats up on the top of the Empire State Building... then leter goooooooooo... At least when the Christie hit the ground it wouldn't leave an oil slick !  |  IP: Logged Jon Miller Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 973 From: San Diego, CA, USA Registered: Sep 1999 posted 08-04-2008 09:02 PM                     And it was because that poor, defenseless X-L (okay, a "Simplex 35") dripped a drop of oil on Joe's immaculately spit-shined shoes? Two words: Seal Kit. Helped plug the leaks in my Simplex Valdez.  |  IP: Logged Monte L Fullmer Film God Posts: 8367 From: Nampa, Idaho, USA Registered: Nov 2004 posted 08-04-2008 09:05 PM                     I'd really like to see Joe do an oblique kit in an E-7, or a vertical bevel and shutter drive gear replacement in a Super ......and get the shims just right.. ..then we'll see what he thinks about "XL"s ...  |  IP: Logged
