Latest News: El Raton Theatre has completed another round of upgrades, now featuring not only Dolby Digital and Dolby 3D projection, but now we offer Dolby 7.1 Surround Sound, as well! This makes El Raton Theatre the only theatre to offer all three of these technologies within 450 miles! Come check us out!
Just so future photographers know, if you stop by the theatre, and we are not open, just knock on the door. We may be inside working, and would be glad to give you a short tour of the inside. And yes, we do allow photographs of the inside, too :)
Big news at El Raton! We have been continuously improving various aspects of the theatre and building. Both of the storefronts are undergoing renovation, with the south storefront now about 95% complete, and the north storefront about 40% complete. New carpet has been purchased for the interior, and will be installed early November.
The big news is in the projection booth. The 1952 Brenkert BX-60 projector and associated 35mm equipment has been retired, and replaced with a state of the art Dolby Digital 3D system! Sound has also been upgraded. Everything is crisp, clear and beautiful! Come check it out!
I run a 1951 BX-60, which has a RCA 9030 attached to it as well. The projector is in very nice condition, but I am beginning to notice some ‘jittering’ of the film. I suspect that I have a gear lash issue with the intermittent somewhere, but not exactly sure where. This BX-60 has LOTS of hours on it. Any thoughts as to the jittering? Does anyone have another BX-60 available for sale? I would really love to have some parts, if not a complete BX-60, ready to go.
Some old pictures, but we do appreciate seeing them!
