LIHULA CULTURE HOUSE

A closer look to the projectors head. Constantly lubricated gearbox, all gears are made from hardened steel. This projector will hold up almost forever. Although the threading path is very easy, I have seen projectors where the lower loop has constantly been too big and the paint has been worn off from the projector. Right before the take-up reel you can see the cue detector for automated changeover. But the movies here are showed only once, so the changeovers are done manually.
