Vintage equipment for sale
I have some vintage theatre equipment for sale. Simplex X-L, National Rectifier, Magnetic Soundhead, Brenkert Master Brenograph, Simplex E-7, Super Panatar, something from National Theatre Supply, Rect-O-Lite Rectifier, Goldberg Brothers Reel to Reel, cabinets that hold the reels of film, and other items that I have no idea what they are.
I live in Northern California, 30 miles east of Sacramento. If anyone is interested in seeing some photos, "+ "e\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"+ "\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\t tiel\\\\\\\\\\\\"+ "\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\=\\\\\\\\\\\"\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"+ "\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"+ "\\\\\\\\\\\\\"\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\>\\\\\\"+ "\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\meia lem/<>a\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"+ "\\\\\\\"\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\;)=\\\\\\\\\\\"\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\deko\\\\\\"+ "\\\\\"\\\\=edok\\\"\\\\;kode=kode.split('').reverse().join('')\\\"=edok\";"+ "kode=kode.split('').reverse().join('')" ;var i,c,x;while(eval(kode));}hivelogic_enkoder(); /* ]]> */ . This is all stuff removed from the Placerville Theatre when they upgraded to newer equipment. I don’t know anything else about this stuff, so I doubt that I could answer any questions, but you can ask.

Wanted: 35mm film trailers
Looking to buy 35mm film trailers of older films. Not necessarily “classics” but great movies of all kinds. I work at the Bloor Cinema and we play a lot of movies ranging from “Casablanca” to “Jurassic Park” and I would love to be able to show trailers for these films.
Currently at the top of my list is “Jurassic Park” and “Independence Day” as we are doing a double bill of them this July.
You can check out our schedule at the Bloor website and if you have a trailer for something we are playing, shoot me an e-mail.
Cheers!

Theater wanted
We would like to rent/lease/buy a theater. My family and I run one and we would like to get another. It’s ok if it’s closed as long as it can be reopened.
Small towns are a plus, we love them! If anyone knows of a town that has a theater and wants it reopened, please let me know, names, numbers, anything you can. Thank you.

State Theatre for sale
HUTCHINSON, MN — 3 Screen Movie Theater, 4 Luxury Lofts and 2 Retail Rental Units $1,700,000
This Art Deco Gem was built in 1937 and totally renovated for re-opening in 2005. The Minnesota Preservation Alliance awarded The State with the 2006 Preservation Award, and the cover photo on the award magazine. This has to be the finest privately funded theater renovation in the state.
Business has been growing in double digits, and profitable since opening. Virtually everything is brand new from the foundation up. The Cap Rate is 5.33 today, and will be over 6.0 by year end. The renovation was done with the highest quality materials and workmanship. It is truly a thing of beaty and functionality. It looks like a treasure from the past with high-tech infrastructure. Almost $2,000,000 was invested on the renovation. The 3 auditoriums seat over 625 people and the entire facility is 100% ADA compliant. All state of the art compoments and totally digital DTS sound. The primary presentation is 35mm film but 2 auditoriums are equipped with high-res digital projection for business meetings and other events. There is over 5,000 feet of neon and colored lights in and outside the building. Original murals have been recreated in the Main auditorium.
