It is not possible to reply to anything in the Wanted/Sale area. What you have is a "Special Venue" version of the standard projector. (Given that you have the lenses, I guess it was for Dimension 180 - which used 70mm film with 5 perforations per frame and 6 track magnetic sound ie. the same format as for 70mm theatrical prints). It was supplied without the 35mm optical soundhead necessary for playback of conventional cinema release prints. The company which manufactured the machine ceased business about 12 months ago. Locating parts for it will be a tall order, although Film-Tech is definitely the best place to ask. I think the complete optical soundhead assembly would only be found on other discarded machines. You will also require a complete kit of 35mm gate inserts, and dual gauge sprockets if they are not already fitted. It's not impossible. It was actually done at Boronia where they combined parts from one of their older 35mm machines with a 70mm theme park projector and finished up with a better working 35/70 machine, but it wasn't easy. I think you will find a manual for the Norelco DP75, which is the same machine, in the warehouse. Regards. Phillip Grace.  |  IP: Logged Gordon McLeod Film God Posts: 9532 From: Toronto Ontario Canada Registered: Jun 99 posted 04-17-2015 10:04 AM                     the most expensive item will be the need of a 35mm optical sound reader ans it is missing from the pix in its entirety  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 04-18-2015 06:52 PM                     here  |  IP: Logged
