Is it any good? Would its wattage have enough power for a small theatre? Also what do you think a used one is worth? Any info would be great  |  IP: Logged Gordon McLeod Film God Posts: 9532 From: Toronto Ontario Canada Registered: Jun 99 posted 11-14-2005 01:04 AM                     the movement is probably one of the best It has a timing belt in the oil bath driving the upper sprocket that can be a problem and the sound head is a bit of problem at times but it is a rock stable machine  |  IP: Logged Jeff Taylor Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 601 From: Chatham, NJ/East Hampton, NY Registered: Apr 2000 posted 11-14-2005 09:34 AM                     I haven't worked with one of those specifically, but by comparison an Eiki EX-5500 xenon, which is a 550 watt lamp, is rated at 2500 lumens. I don't know how small your theater is, but the Eiki's perform fine in a typical high school auditorium.  |  IP: Logged
