Koorda Drive-in’s old projector(before the new digital projector) was Australia’s oldest operating film projector(1929?). The projector stopped working properly during a movie screening(movie unknown?) In November 2014. The projector is on display in the snack bar. The old projector might have damaged during a lightning strike or water getting during the thunderstorm(in 2014?).
