Those seats looked horrible! But yes, that was what it was like back then. We never had the 3D Video brand stuff here. For the 1980s, Marks was used for Coming at Ya, Sirrius for Space Hunter, Paramount's Box for Friday the 13th part 3 and for the rest, including revivals it was Stereovision (both custom and adjustable variants).  |  IP: Logged James Westbrook Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1133 From: Lubbock, Texas, Usa Registered: Mar 2006 posted 07-02-2016 12:13 PM                     The fellow made the installation look so easy. I helped do this in 1981 and 1982 and I promise you, it wasn't that easy.  |  IP: Logged Scott Norwood Film God Posts: 8146 From: Boston, MA.

After all nothing says "professional installation" more than tape on the port window.  |  IP: Logged Ron Funderburg Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 814 From: Chickasha, Oklahoma, USA Registered: Nov 2007 posted 07-02-2016 12:43 PM                        When the company I work for took over this location and I came here there was tape on every window. The first thing I did was get new plates and file them properly to the screen. Yeah, Brad that is one big pet-peeve of mine, no freaking tape on my freaking glass portals.  |  IP: Logged Mitchell Dvoskin Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1869 From: West Milford, NJ, USA Registered: Jan 2001 posted 07-02-2016 01:07 PM                     I especially liked the cardboard coffee cup inside the lamphouse in the path of the light.  |  IP: Logged Buck Wilson Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 894 From: St. Joseph MO, USA Registered: Sep 2010 posted 07-02-2016 02:28 PM                     This is comedy gold.  |  IP: Logged
