Author Topic: Pro 35 Intermittent shoe question Brant Veilleux Film Handler Posts: 23 From: Chicago, IL, USA Registered: Dec 2004 posted 07-22-2005 03:52 PM                        I am trying to hunt down some part #'s for a pro 35. I have only been able to find a manual for one that has the intermittent shoe and the gate as one piece. I have checked this site and Ballantyne's site, plus I did a google search. Unfortunately, the projector I am working on has the intermittent shoe separately from the gate. If anyone can point me in the right direction on this one it would be greatly appreciated.

I dunno why. Luckily they never broke, not the gates at least.  |  IP: Logged Gordon McLeod Film God Posts: 9532 From: Toronto Ontario Canada Registered: Jun 99 posted 07-22-2005 05:59 PM                     The Pro35/70 had the pad as a hinged assembly much like a century even when running 35mm I would sujest trying to find a Pro35/70manual  |  IP: Logged Scott Manley Film Handler Posts: 59 From: Austin, TX USA Registered: May 2001 posted 07-23-2005 08:46 AM                     any way to see a picture of it?  |  IP: Logged Brant Veilleux Film Handler Posts: 23 From: Chicago, IL, USA Registered: Dec 2004 posted 07-25-2005 09:52 PM                        Here is what I am referring to. This is an image of a cannibalized one I have in the shop and is not the one I am working on in the field. Luckily it still has the part that I am speaking of. Thanks for the tip Gordon. I haven't found a manual for a Pro35/70 yet but, it gives me a direction to look in. Thanks again!  |  IP: Logged Don Sneed Master Film Handler Posts: 451 From: Texas City, TX, USA Registered: Aug 2001 posted 07-25-2005 11:06 PM                        I been around many pro-35 since they first came out in the 70's, I never seen one like this....I will print the picture & show it to the Strong tech tomorrow...Troy will be at a new 18-screen theatre I just finish installing in Columbus Ohio, if anyone will know it will be him, I will get back to you tomorrow night or on Wednesday with the answer...  |  IP: Logged Gordon McLeod Film God Posts: 9532 From: Toronto Ontario Canada Registered: Jun 99 posted 07-26-2005 07:38 AM                     That is the Pro35/70 machine version  |  IP: Logged Don Sneed Master Film Handler Posts: 451 From: Texas City, TX, USA Registered: Aug 2001 posted 07-27-2005 11:06 PM                        Yes, Gordon is correct again, it is a pro-35/70...the only one I seen & installed was 25 years ago...Strong's tech say it was a 35/70 & you can still get the intermittent shoes....  |  IP: Logged Brant Veilleux Film Handler Posts: 23 From: Chicago, IL, USA Registered: Dec 2004 posted 07-28-2005 06:59 AM                        Well then, I feel pretty gifted. I have inherited quite a number of these curiosities that are still operating in the field to watch over. I have acquired the PRO70 manual from strong, and of course, really only need the 35mm part #'s with this 70 / 35 configuration. Unfortunately, looks like it is only for 70mm. Worst of both manual worlds I suppose. I really appreciate the Ballentyne/Simplex/Strong heritage and firm, I just wish it were the Norelco model. Thanks for all the information. I’ll submit the 70mm Manual to the site in case the museum I currently curate has a few loose cannons out there. I have some other jems in the collection also. I’m going to hold out on those until the time is right though. Thanks again!  |  IP: Logged Gordon McLeod Film God Posts: 9532 From: Toronto Ontario Canada Registered: Jun 99 posted 07-28-2005 08:22 AM                     The pro35/70 parts are officialy still available I used to have one of the manuals but can't find what box it is in If I find it I will scan it  |  IP: Logged Gordon McLeod Film God Posts: 9532 From: Toronto Ontario Canada Registered: Jun 99 posted 07-30-2005 09:35 PM                     I found the manual and scanned it and emailed to brad so it should soon be available  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 07-30-2005 10:54 PM                     Online tonight at midnight.

There was definately a pair up at the location on Wells st.
