Might become a member [Wink]

it was interesting to read that the three camera/three projector 70s film "This Is New Zealand" ran in 70mm in Bradford England and that Peter Jacksons "Park Road Post" did the 5:1 remix for it.

WOW... at last I have been able find clear enough pictures to POSITIVELY identfy my RIRST EVER PROJECTOR which I now know to be a Bingoscope C3, still available as a new item AFTER the Second World War. My mother had a shop which sold some toys and she bought one from a rep for me: try as I might I could never persuade to upgrade me the next year to an Astor, which was also available. I finished up buying my own Pathescope 200B secondhand when I was older.

Just had another look at the picture of the Astor; interesting to see that the spool arms are on the "wtong" side of the spools(nearer to the operator). Was this the only machine ever with this configuration?

Martin,I guess it looks a bit awkward.Having the lamp-base pointing toward the operator is also an odd feature.The reel arms are shaped like a boomerang and are attached with one bolt.
