I visited the booth around 1971, or 72. Al Greenwood was the operator. When he did a change over, the sound change was large wall mounted dial called a fader. It was made by Western Electric.

Super Simplex / Peerless Magnarcs.

I found mentioned that when this opened as the Criterion in the 192-’s it was under the Stanley banner, can anyone confirm this?

Thanks Ken, it sure is, as many times as I have been in that theatre on the board walk you would think I would recognize it.
