Those projectors are beautiful Dino.

They look great. What model is it?
Are they ok for everyday use? They beat the Specto in the looks department!

Rob these are the ones to use for the notched titles as you can actually use as bright as a 400w bulb in them, with no damage to the film because it operates with a mirror that re-directs the light...The Specto is still the number one projector to get for 9.5, but it can only handle silents with running titles...I use these for the 200 or so notched titled films i have.....Plus I want to work out how to do a public show of a notched feature film with changeovers, which is why i have the 2.

Wish I lived in L.A. so I could see all the great stuff that Dino does with his film equipment.

Beatiful! Are the projectors as small as they look? May I suggest taking pics of rarer projectors next to an Elmo ST-1200 or some more recognizable projector; it will help get an idea of the size.

Akshay they are taller than the elmo, but not as long...The reels are max 400ft...

Paul This year I am doing 28mm projection in Maine in July, and here in Los Angeles of a film print I have that is physically 100 years old, and then I will be bringing my Bolex to Seattle to project some notched 9.5mm for a bunch of archivists in December. If a miracle happens I will try to go to Cinesea in october with the 28mm to screen the 100 year old print for them, and maybe a full feature, but I will have to win the lottery first to cover all the flying around.

Great stuff Dino. Have you ever met Martin Scorcese? I am sure he would be most interested in your vintage film programs and your incredible film and projector collection.
