Steve Matz Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 672 From: Billings, Montana, USA Registered: Sep 2003 posted 12-06-2013 10:02 PM                     Anybody up here ever use one of these Models.I know the company sold projectors back in the 60's; but nobody in the states was using 35mm Japanese stuff back then.Price seems a little Steep! http://www.ebay.com/itm/Rare-AVE-Shinkyo-Portable-35mm-Projector-set-for-2-perf-TechnoScope-/310793196228  |  IP: Logged Gordon Bachlund Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 696 From: Monrovia, CA, USA Registered: Aug 1999 posted 12-07-2013 12:54 PM                        The "2 perf pulldown" would not work satisfactorily with 4 perf film, so the machine would be of limited usefulness even if it were priced reasonably.  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 12-07-2013 05:04 PM                     The seller is off his rocker at $5995.00 for it. $59.95 would be more what it's actually worth. You could actually have all the parts machens to convert a 4 perf projector to 2 perf for way less than he's asking. So... I shinkyou should avoid that seller. Ha! There used to exist Christie and Ballantyne 35mm projectors that did two perf. There was a storage locker of the Ballantynes here in Salt LAke City for quite a few years. They were all pulls from the LDS Church locations.  |  IP: Logged Richard Fowler Film God Posts: 2392 From: Ft.
