Umit is well and truly alive and kicking, I was in conversation with
him just before Christmas, a really enthusiastic chap about film,
just ask him about some of the people that wish to hire his projectors!

Thank you for the link to the article. A joy to read.

I laughed when I saw the third photograph from the top. The artwork for the Stranger in Sacramento video (seen to the right in the photo) was lifted from promotional art for the 1953 3-D classic Gun Fury!
