Thanks all, We are 6 hours south of Chicago, so I'll ck out Urbanski and Full Aperture. Dominic, what's the weight of the Pageant? Email me off line with the specifics please.
I believe we've received all the unused equipment from other departments. Problem is the person who repaired our film equipment left years ago. St Louis is a couple hours away. Any equipment repair or refurbished film equipment recommendations located there? In answer to your questions scott, one was a theatre projector we used to screen rented prints - very good condition with a decent lens. The others were classroom projectors used to screen educational films ( we have a stash from our library) and experiments. Not sure what I can spend on replacements. Couldn't believe it when I walked into the screening space and they were all gone!
