Cohen Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 975 From: Forest Hills, NY, USA Registered: Sep 2001 posted 08-03-2007 02:29 PM                     Looks like some real teamwork here! I like those old-style wire spoke reels you use in the booth and have made into outdoor sculptures. I only have one, heavily rusted and I always considered it an antique. Such reels work well, and it's good to see they are still in use. What kinds of films do you show most often, and what languages do you use for the dialogue and sub-titles?  |  IP: Logged Jon Miller Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 973 From: San Diego, CA, USA Registered: Sep 1999 posted 08-03-2007 07:31 PM                     Great set of pictures! Never before saw a Simplex Four-Star/X-L soundhead with a transverse-mount motor (see below). Is that a custom configuration or an export model?  |  IP: Logged Richard Fowler Film God Posts: 2392 From: Ft. Lauderdale, FL, USA Registered: Jun 2001 posted 08-04-2007 10:10 AM                     I have seen modified SH1000 and the belt drive single sprocket RCA 9001 soundheads in Asia in which the motor is mounted as in the picture. The adaption mimics the set up in a simplex 5-star soundhead.  |  IP: Logged Khamthon Eamsuwan Film Handler Posts: 4 From: Bangkok ,Nonthaburi ,Thailand Registered: Jul 2007 posted 08-07-2007 09:52 PM                        Hi,all The kind of films is 35mm format.We use Thai Language for the dialogue and no sub-titles. For the international films such as The transformers,Die hard 4.0 we have a short permit time to show. These films we got about 15-30 days for open-air showing. For the Simplex Four-Star/X-L on the photo, the drive unit has been modified from 3 phase to single phase motor. Because of the open-air showing need only the single phase for electrical system(Projector,Sound and other).

Its on a 5 point base and the motor hangs in the slot on the side of the verticle column. These setups are quite rare.

Have you the 70mm film for show?  |  IP: Logged Thomas Hauerslev Master Film Handler Posts: 451 From: Copenhagen, Denmark Registered: Aug 2000 posted 08-09-2007 01:44 AM                        The are 70mm prints available, but I'm not sure about Thailand. They can be imported, and found in archives. You have to go through Hollywwod Classics about rights clearance etc. before you show them publically. These two cinemas once had (around 1960) 70mm equipment, but not sure if they ever ran 70mm films. Bangkok - Chalerm Khetr Theatre & Bangkok - National What is the story about 70mm in Thailand? You can contcat me via www.in70mm.com  |  IP: Logged
