Author Topic: In search of antique curved door glass Aaron Mehocic Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 804 From: New Castle, PA, USA Registered: Jun 99 posted 04-09-2001 09:10 AM                     I had a little accident in the booth on Friday and stupidly shattered the curved door glass on an old Simplex X-L. I'm posting here to get a thread going about locatiing names, adresses, phone / fax numbers for dealers who might have some antique parts for machines still in use. My official request for the glass, however, is in the "Equipment Wanted" forum, so Brad please don't lock this and send it somewhere else. If anyone has an idea about what to use as a replacement piece on the door then please post. If you have glass and want to part with it, e-mail me directly.  |  IP: Logged Steve Guttag We forgot the crackers Gromit!!!

It will fit but will say Simplex 35 in Red letters rather than white. Steve ------------------ "Old projectionists never die, they just changeover!"  |  IP: Logged Paul G.

Sometimes it's truly surprising what they can do. I've obtained beveled glass, clock glass replacements, etc. Failing this, go for an "official" plastic replacement. Hear what you're saying and was me I'd try real hard for the glass. Good Luck!  |  IP: Logged
