Well, i know i have squired something here but not sure exactly what.
Yeah its a screen,but
A work colleague who knows someone who knows a London firm that has now ceased trading, before they did THREE very huge screens were passed on. I have been given one, all new in the box,
I really do not know where to start with this, the original receipt for all three is here and this one,(100 inch) is the baby of the three, the price in 2006 for the three?????
£8400. Eight thousand four hundred. The others are mine if i want them.
Can anyone on here tell me anything about these please before i decide what to do with them. Insane, why couldn't i acquire a film collection

Tom, Onyx screens were manufactured by Draper and were available in a wide variety of sizes and screen finishes. You can read up about them here: http://www.draperinc.com/projectionscreens/productdetail/236/onyx

I'm actually looking for a fixed screen right now and would be interested in taking one of the them off your hands. Can you let me have more details if you're looking to pass them on?

If there is one left Tom (after Stuart) I may be interested, depending on the price, size and ratio.
