As I said, it was a fun time, Dave <g>. You ought to write a book about your experiences in the New England Theatres. I enjoy reading what you have to say.
Working for RCA Service Co., under contract to Universal Studios, I was the person responsible for installing and aligning the Sensurround equipment for the Shoppers World Premier opening of Earthquake. There was such a hullabaloo over the unknown effects of the quaking equipment that up until the day of the opening, it wasn’t known whether the town was going to allow it to happen or not. They were indeed worried about the building falling apart. Part of my responsibility in testing the equipment was to survey the building, noting the cracks that existed and after shaking down with a test run, noting whether the cracks had been extended. It was a fun time!
I have memories of servicing the projection booth equipment at the Abbey Twin in the early 70’s while working for RCA Service Co. What stays with me most to this day is the intermission music that was played on a 33 rpm record player. James Taylor’s Fire and Rain.
