Author Topic: Drive-In needs service tech Jack Ondracek Film God Posts: 2348 From: Port Orchard, WA, USA Registered: Oct 2002 posted 07-06-2008 07:41 PM                        The Tower Drive-In, in Rule, TX, recently changed hands. It's got Century projector/sound head, Strong Super 80, Strong platter and a mix of Dolby, Smart and Ramsey sound gear. It needs a serious go-through from someone who can do some thorough diagnostics, clean, lube, time & align. The owner is new and learning, but needs a working booth to operate, and someone willing to let her look over his shoulder for a day. Right now, lack of qualified care is causing near-daily problems. Anyone here close enough to consider this, or is there a tech company anywhere near the Abilene area that I could help get the owner in contact with? Thanks.  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 07-06-2008 07:58 PM                     Tell her to contact the Town and Country Drive-in in Abilene, TX and ask for Ray. He is an ex-UA technician who runs that theater and is a very good tech.  |  IP: Logged Jack Ondracek Film God Posts: 2348 From: Port Orchard, WA, USA Registered: Oct 2002 posted 07-06-2008 08:35 PM                        Thanks, Brad. I'll pass that along tonight.  |  IP: Logged Tim Reed Better Projection Pays Posts: 5246 From: Northampton, PA Registered: Sep 1999 posted 07-06-2008 10:46 PM                       Jack, what happened to the guy who was supposed to drop by from another theatre several weeks ago and do a PM?  |  IP: Logged Jack Ondracek Film God Posts: 2348 From: Port Orchard, WA, USA Registered: Oct 2002 posted 07-06-2008 11:05 PM                        She's had someone there, from "another theatre", but it sounds like he's only skimming the top off of the worst problems. It never really gets fixed & tuned up.  |  IP: Logged
