70mm brings back so many memories... Ben and a big smile!

We had one of these that my home parks here in Buffalo New York Darien Lake we loved it it was a way to get out of the Heat and it was super exciting and you always look forward to every summer having a new video

I ran something like this, back in the Summer of 1976. I remember it was dome shaped theatre on Central Pier in Atlantic City. We used a 70mm Century projector.

За 7 секунд заряжал проектор с закрытыми глазами. 6 лет работы в кино официально только. И до этого работал заменяя отца.

I’m glad they are still using the traditional 35mm film and not the digital way

Yo fui operador en el ano 1958 hasta el.74 en Calama me recuerda al ver estas escenas

Here in the USA, all the Cinema 180's I saw had Ballantyne 70mm projectors.

Cant watch another moment of this - With such a valuable print - In my day no one would ever touch the leader - we would attach Gash Film to the from - Lace up and Run down to the STart Mark
At the end of the run the print would be returned and not a finger had ever touched the print - INCLUDING a pristine leader
Added benefit is that if on the rare chance you messed up a lace up - The Run down will only tear or snap your waste film -

I learned something today, I always thought that 35mm was the larger movie film size.

Oh the dreaded DP75. I hated those things with a passion - and still do to this day. Not Kinoton's finest hour by any stretch.
Sprocket pads that would fly open when they felt like it, a lens mount that refused to return to operational position reliably resulting in a VERY blurred image and a gate that was a pain to thread.
And to think *this* machine was the follow up to the legendary DP70 / AAII.

Hi. I'd like to find the owner / film maker who shot this clip for possible inclusion in a documentary feature film but I cant see how to trace it back any further than the KinotehnikNet group. Can anyone help?

[suresha]

What kind of lens this projector is having ? looks very different compared to other projectors and why full image reflects on the front mirror of the booth ? in normal projector booth the image goes out to the screen like a small square of light frame.

Trabalhei em cinema 30 anos como operador cinematográfico no df

My dad first went there when he was 22 years old.

How about the projector 's rolls? They get oily from your fingers skin.

[martynbutlerOBE]

Dont think I hsave ever seen poorer film handeling - the fact its on a filthy FP70 - and its 70mm film its just short of criminal.

[totalrecone]

Has to be a DP75. Those things sent rubber band sales through the roof, after the projectionist had a heart attack as the sprocket pads flew off the sprockets and thus turning the operator grey prematurely. :)
Hated those things with a passion.

Hi there, it's great you are enthusiasts and are interested in this machine, however, as a documentary film maker by trade, you really should at least give credit when copying and uploading someone else's video. Perhaps I'm just too old school. :-/
That said, thank you for keeping the dreams alive, this machine and ALL her related films and accessories is currently up for private sale.

Guess the business will go crashing down
