Author Topic: What are these platters. Ian Price Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1714 From: Denver, CO Registered: Jun 99 posted 03-02-2000 08:41 PM                     We saw some strange equipment today. We didn't recognize the platters. The name on the platter is NSP Tree is grey, the platters were steel and flat. The payout assemblies were the strangest I had ever seen. We also saw the new Nuemade platter. What do you think of that?  |  IP: Logged John Wilson Film God Posts: 5438 From: Sydney, Australia.

Kinotones would be too classy for this joint. It is a theatre where the previous operator dumped his old equipment befor he sold it out to someone who didn't know better. I have photos but I am just not familier with them.  |  IP: Logged Ken Layton Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1452 From: Olympia, Wash.

By any chance Ian were you out in Sebastopol??? Or did you get a tour of the Roxy? Cause if they're putting NSP's in the Roxy... then they're dumber than all get out. We run 2 of them in our "Screening Rooms" at our 9-Plex... we have serial #1 #2 - Aaron can tell you some terrible stories about the bearings seizing up on us... WOO-FUN.  |  IP: Logged Scott D.

I'd like to know who else has been thrown in the NSP boat with us...  |  IP: Logged
