Author Topic: bought old theatre with all projection equipment SALE? Kevin Boyle Film Handler Posts: 11 From: Monroe, Utah, USA Registered: Oct 2014 posted 12-26-2014 09:35 PM                     I bought a THEATRE and it has simplex e-7 projectors, se-7017 big horn photograph,se7520 power supply speakers, 2 se7020 speakers in big box, I also have Golde rewind machine, separate advertise projector, amplifier photograph 2 of them. It was vacant for 40 years but I found the old guy that used to manage it and he came in and fired it all up and it still worked. Has a splicing station and a bunch of reels. I want to sell all this but don't know how to or how much to sell it for. Please help me if you know anything about this equipment.435-225-9907 kevin  |  IP: Logged Harold Hallikainen Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 906 From: Denver, CO, USA Registered: Aug 2009 posted 12-26-2014 10:52 PM                        Or you could keep it to show Interstellar!

I don't get the se description. Where's Dick Prather when we need him?  |  IP: Logged Monte L Fullmer Film God Posts: 8367 From: Nampa, Idaho, USA Registered: Nov 2004 posted 12-27-2014 02:07 AM                     I remember the Carol Theatre. Had a friend who lives in Richfield who showed me the Carol Theatre and knew of it's history and who owned it. The Carol in Monroe, along with the Pamela up in Salina, were owned by one family who named these two theatres after his daughters. Then, you have the big ol' Huish Theatre located in Richfield(used to be a big single house which was built in 1947 - also with E-7s with Enarc Lamphouses and Simplex Stereo Sound, and now has been transposed into a three plex with the main floor split to a twin and the balcony as it's own separate house .. and now digital) in this area of So. Central Utah. I know the owner of the Huish. Good luck with this venture. The stuff posted might have some collectable value for those few and far between. - Monte  |  IP: Logged Will Kutler Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1506 From: Tucson, AZ, USA Registered: Feb 2001 posted 12-27-2014 04:13 PM                     Please post pictures.

Yes, more pictures, including the bunch of reels.  |  IP: Logged Scott Norwood Film God Posts: 8146 From: Boston, MA. USA (1774.21 miles northeast of Dallas) Registered: Jun 99 posted 12-27-2014 04:37 PM                        To be clear to the original poster: most of this equipment has little practical value to most operating theatres (yes, there will be a few exceptions, but they would mostly not have any money to spend on it). Depending on condition, this stuff might have some value to collectors of old projection and sound equipment. Most likely, the sound system is the most valuable piece, but you would need to post pictures (include shots of the nameplates on everything) in order for the people here to tell you what it is and what it might be worth (or not worth). Unless you can find someone in your area who wants them, you will probably find that the projectors will cost more to ship than they are worth, unfortunately.  |  IP: Logged Will Kutler Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1506 From: Tucson, AZ, USA Registered: Feb 2001 posted 12-27-2014 04:55 PM                     Definitely true with E-7s. I think I may be one of the biggest E-7 preservationists around?  |  IP: Logged Kevin Boyle Film Handler Posts: 11 From: Monroe, Utah, USA Registered: Oct 2014 posted 12-27-2014 07:20 PM                     The Carol Theatre is almost completely renovated. My wife wanted me to buy it so that she could have a place to put on plays. We have all new neon, the stage has been added to bring it out another 25 feet. I will post pics tomorrow. I love this building. They said we can't use the equipment because it is illegal to use the carbon arcs I guess. It closed with E.T. on the reel, so that says how long it's been.  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 12-27-2014 07:32 PM                     Dick Prather passed away about a month ago...  |  IP: Logged Monte L Fullmer Film God Posts: 8367 From: Nampa, Idaho, USA Registered: Nov 2004 posted 12-27-2014 07:57 PM                     quote: Kevin Boyle the stage has been added to bring it out another 25 feet.

Those limits are listed on the "click here to upload an image" webpage. Are you sure your pictures are in the right format and that they aren't too large?  |  IP: Logged Louis Bornwasser Film God Posts: 4441 From: prospect ky usa Registered: Mar 2005 posted 12-27-2014 09:00 PM                        SE designation is the post war Motiograph. Fairly typical for them. Probably field coil speakers. Power supply runs speaker field and exciters with 2 smaller tundr (Gordos) rectifiers that screw in.  |  IP: Logged
