In the Projector Picture Trust they have a booth from Spain with a machine clled a OSSA VI and they say it might be spanish or italian Any Ideas the only spanish builder I know of is Wassman  |  IP: Logged Philippe Laude Film Handler Posts: 79 From: Longueville, Belgium Registered: Jul 99 posted 07-05-2000 12:26 AM                     Gordon, I know another spanish constructor, go and see http://www.proyecson.com/ingles/principal.htm They are far better than Wassman. O.K, I admit it's not very difficult!

These machines ran 7 days a week running a interlocked 3d 70mm film on a almost continous basis. The third machine is in the Gorge theatre in elora (pics in warehouse) and it has been running with only one broken gear since it was installed i the mid 80's THe other 2 machines were sold when the pod closed here after been used for 10 years One is in the closed chicago museum the other is in the museum at the highland cinema in kinmount It was amazing just how steady of image they produced the picture was 58' wide on a 30' throw  |  IP: Logged
