I Like it! I was wondering about the current type of lamp used in mechanical projectors & will a digital have a comparable color temperature scale? My expierience is that the HID lamps of digital are less warm in appearance. Any input? (forgive my naivity)
Digital projectors generally need little maintainence & are pretty dependable, so you wouldnt have to hire someone, I still like to thread up a film projector though, its the sound & flicker that are good. But case in point, If I had the choice between a stock Lamborghini Countach or one modified with a chevy V8 I’d choose the V8 because it would get the job done with less headaches.
P.S I forgot to mention That Dad was an excellent painter, he worked in SRO’s graphics dept. also, likening the possibility it was him, Im almost certain he must have helped if it had been the lady mentioned.The original owner did care, he visited my father at home once when he was not doing well.

My father was manager for most of the 60’s.During its heyday it was full of life & light.Dad took pride in his work & was enthusiastic about new feature promotions(Camelot,Dr.Zhivago,ect.)Saturday matinees had a live clown who once flopped over & played dead for the whole movie(must’ve been a good nap!)They had prize giveaways, some lucky Kid won a pedalcar,but not before my sisters & I drove it on those great carpeted ramps W/cement horsehead.Ira,the projectionist was happy to give a tour of the booth I remember being fasinated.My mother thinks my father painted the murals, he passed some time ago,so I dont know for sure. Growing up there greatly enriched my life. Thank you, Allet Jr.
Digital progectors are dropping in price rapidly. 5000 lumens XGA starts at about $5000. If the admission & atmoshere are right, people may not mind the difference. With digital, there is a wealth of features available, Copywrite stipulations agreed. LCD projectors have richer color saturation than DLP(unless its a 3 chip unit) and rule the higher brightness realm. A Christie Roadrunner puts out 10 to 12000 lumens W/upgradability but will set you back 50k. Personally, Id pursue digital. Best regards, Lumen
