Sam Hunter's apartment cinema in Louisiana

My home cinema setup's technical specs:
1 Brenkert BX80, RCA9030 Soundhead with Kelmar Bilateral pickup, Enginestand rollaround pedestal, top and bottom Kelmar 6000' reel arms, Dolby CP50 analog processor, Modified 13.5 volt power supply to power the exciter lamp, 3M branded 6 X 20 Audio power amp, 2 Studio reference front left and right channel speakers, 1 RCA 50 watt center speaker, two RCA 50 watt surround speakers, 6 x 6 tripod screen. It takes me about 30-45 minutes to setup the system for a show and I use a CAT251 test film to get everything lined up.
