Hi All,

Time for images from the best little film show in the US:

-

Question: how do you know it's springtime in Wildwood, N.J.?

-

Answer: the palm trees have been assembled....

Gary Crawford and I had a lovely (early) trip up to the shore. We got there Thursday afternoon, and with the weather turning beautiful, a walk on the boardwalk was inevitable:

-

-

Further along, a bunch of guys were losing their marbles, so to speak (where else would you see this on the beach?):

-

And, like a familiar face, our hotel:

-

By Friday, most of the "usual suspects" had arrived, and soon the mix of soundtracks and stories began filling the air:

-

-

I am at the limit of pictures per post, so when someone writes a line or two, I can continue so we keep the whole thing as one thread.
(I am working tomorrow, so most likely it will be tomorrow night before I can post again.)

Enjoy,
Claus.

Gary took his usual place with his trusty Kodak Pageant, Elmo St-1200 AND Eumig. He had a nice mix of classic 1940es crime drama and newer features:

-

-

-

Doug had his corner all laid out with his Xenon GS-1200:

-

-

...and of course his famous (infamous?) Museum Table; more on that in a bit:

-

As always, the Franchettis held court with loaded tables:

-

Good to see father and son working together so well to help us keep the collector tradition alive:

-

That's it for this time; I am at the picture limit.
Stay tuned for more...

Claus.

That's a real clean looking Pageant Gary has there.
Keep the pics coming, Claus.

Xenon ST-1200 looks like a GS-1200 or am I blind? (I am about to be)

Claus,

Great job as usual. I'm looking forward to the rest.

Vidar,

Cancel that seeing eye dog! You are correct, that is a Xenon GS-1200.

Paul,

That film is a rare Columbia feature print of On the Waterfront.

Nice photos chaps...just one question about the "Kodak Pageant" shown...why is the top loop so big [Smile]

GS of course...after all these years, I can still mix up the model letters... [Smile]

As for the top loop on the Pageant, you'd have to ask Gary; it seems to do no harm. His prints ran cleanly.

Looks great. Nice to see the tram running on the boardwalk that time of year. I'll have to try to make the one in May one of these years.

I kept a promise to myself and brought bikes down to ride on the boardwalk. It wasn't as good as I had hoped: we are more on-season now than other times so with everything open the boardwalk was a little crowded for riding bikes!

We arrived to the ominous sound of drums on all sides: there was a marching band festival in town! (The natives weren't restless...)

All I ask is a wide screen and a projector to light her by...

The Klare family deserves a special mention:
As Steve noted, his wife was recovering from back surgery, but she still came along and it was a pleasure to meet her. If we had a "real trooper" award at the show, Mrs. Klare would definitely have won it:

-

We do have what amounts to a mascot by now: the Airyflex.
As long as it stays inflated, it comes to the show:

-

Time for some fine old machinery:

Here are some details of the Ampro Stylist 16mm, a tank of a machine, but also with its own period beauty to it:

-

The "crackle" metallic paint contrasted with the red is a nice piece of design:

-

I don't have a wide shot of it in action, but you will see it when we get to the video.

Here's a classic Bell and Howell, a machine that can pretty well run a lifetime:
-

-

In addition to providing his usual excellent espresso and homemade cake...

-

...John Capazzo found time to fix Cinesea first-timer (and forum member) Ernie Zahn's ailing ST-1200:

-

That concludes it for this time; more to come....

Claus.

Terrific, Claus!

It was wonderful to meet Trish Klare. They are quite a film family.... Steve made a poster out of his son's school composition from a few years back where he wrote about how Dad takes over the dining room table with his projectors!

Thanks for sharing those photos... and the drawing of the dining room table is really neat [Cool] well done.

Just having a good time and sharing it with others is what its all about [Smile]

That composition would be downright libelous if it wasn't also true!

-although a lot of the reason we don't eat at the table relates to an entirely different piece of audiovisual equipment! Sometimes we do have dinner there even when the Elmo brothers are joining us!

I have to give my wife a lot of credit here. I brought her down expecting she'd spend a lot of time out on the sun deck with a book, but she was right there thumbing through the film boxes and enjoyed the show Saturday night as much as any of us did.

Thank you Clause for documenting this event so well. Its such a wonderful event for collectors. I almost feel like I was there [Wink] .

Steve- That marching band competition must be an annual event. They were there on one of my previous visits. Great story & illustration by your little one too by the way.

James.

Shorty, after missing one show, was there, appropriately attired, of course:

-

...and our friend Paul Oscar from Iceland was back:

-

Turnout was good; as mentioned, Ernie Zahn joined us, as did Dave Baker:

-

-

Now about that Museum Table...behold the Bentley viewer, one of the many dubious attempts at making a film viewer "living-room friendly":

-

Seeing it in action, one is glad Bentley wasn't the company that invented the platter system...

-

A far better device was the Goko motorized viewer/editor. This was the Rolls-Royce of upright S-8mm viewers and Doug's is in mint condition:

-

Also, an Elmo audio sync device from when mechanical solutions were still in vogue. You would thread your reel-to-reel audiotape around the drum for the unit to keep sync between the projector and the reel-to-reel:

-

One or two more batches and that is about it....back again soon.

Claus.

ORG!! I still have nightmares about that Bentley and will probably have more, now that I have seen another!! [Frown] [Frown] [Smile]

Thanks Janice, glad you enjoy, and apologies to Osi for calling up nightmares with the Bentley (at least you recognized it.)

Once the show is underway, it has its own flow. People get lunch and come back, and the films keep rolling:

-

-

-

We even went 3-D this time, with "Creature from the Black Lagoon":

-

Come Saturday night, a tradition: the group dinner after a long day of films:

-

Good food, good company:

-

Nighttime back at the hotel after dinner. The late night screenings begin. Among the treats: some great condition classic cartoons:

-

"War of the Colossal Beast" looked great as well:

-

I'll conclude this in the next posting...

Claus.
