Author Topic: Adding stereo to a Devry? Alan Gouger Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 501 From: Bradenton, FL, USA Registered: Jul 2000 posted 06-01-2003 12:42 PM                        Hello I want to add stereo to my Devry projector and was wondering at this time should I go with a red led reader or just a stereo cell. How difficult is the mod and can you point me to a source to purchase the needed equipment. Thank you.  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 06-01-2003 01:08 PM                     Alan, I am almost finished with the first DeVry retrofit for LED reverse scanner for a friends projector and there are a number of other DeVry owners also waiting for this. Projected price is about $600.00 U.S. all inclusive. This will utilize a C.E. pickup and LED bracket of our own design. You will be able to install it in the field as long as you have the normal A chain equipment and test films. Call if you're interested in one.

Allen Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1078 From: Checotah, Oklahoma Registered: Jul 2002 posted 06-03-2003 12:44 PM                     Great looking machine Alan. As I recall it is one of only two machines made in this country with a barrel shutter (Motiograph being the other). It is also chain driven, right? I ran a pair at a drive in in Victorville, CA back in the '50s.  |  IP: Logged John Anastasio Master Film Handler Posts: 325 From: Trenton, NJ, USA Registered: Sep 2000 posted 06-03-2003 03:38 PM                        Yep, they're chain driven. I take it that you ran Motiographs at the drive-in, not DeVrys. (Unless it was a very small drive-in.)  |  IP: Logged Gordon McLeod Film God Posts: 9532 From: Toronto Ontario Canada Registered: Jun 99 posted 06-03-2003 11:34 PM                     There were a lot of driveins in the 50's equipped by devry The original gardnier projector Ballantyne R was a standard simplex with a barrel shutter  |  IP: Logged Don Furr Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 509 From: Sun City, Ca USA Registered: Nov 2002 posted 06-04-2003 05:51 AM                     A TIP for DeVry owners!!! If you will replace your blower motor on the top of your lamps with an exhaust fan (get the heat out) you will increase your lamp life by a TON. You can take a lot more heat away from the bulb than the small hole at the rear bottom of the lamp housing will allow your to blow. I haven't put a bulb in either of mine in 6 months.....and I run a lot of film. -Don  |  IP: Logged Tim Reed Better Projection Pays Posts: 5246 From: Northampton, PA Registered: Sep 1999 posted 06-04-2003 10:27 AM                       quote: I am almost finished with the first DeVry retrofit for LED reverse scanner Mark, are there enough units out there to justify all that work? It IS a nice blue machine, btw. I like it! I used to service a bunch of drive-ins in WV that had DeVry 16000 systems. I loved the chain drives... only wish Christie, Prevost, and Cinemeccanica would pick up on that. Oh, wait a minute! What was I thinking?! Haha, but then they wouldn't make any money on belt sales, silly me!  |  IP: Logged System Notices Forum Watchdog / Soup Nazi Posts: 215 Registered: Apr 2004 posted 08-21-2005 03:23 PM                 It has been 809 days since the last post.  |  IP: Logged
