My name is Tom Wilson and I am an avid collector of vintage 35mm carbon arc movie projectors and old theater equipment. If you have any old projectors or equipment available for sale or for trade please give me a call at 937-477-9855. I will travel anywhere in the continental USA to pick up equipment that I purchase. Also looking for a free standing ticket booth, marquee signs, light fixtures and decorative poster cabinets etc. Don’t hesitate to give me a call if you have something.

Hi Tom, sorry but I cannot ring you direct so will give you my email if interested. Problem is I’m in Australia. Maybe you know someone over here who may be interested The goodies I have are. A Pope skeletal projector stand with lamp house intact and attached, I have moved it about quite a few times over the years and fingers crossed, the mirrors have survived. When I acquired it from the cinema it was used as a glass slide projector for advertising prior to the movie. Many sq. glass slides approx 3" square. When removed it was fully functional and just the asbestos covered power cables were cut in the removal process. Feel free to contact. My interests and circumstance have changed, so I have a view to sell pending an appropriate offer. Regards Peter.
