Speaking as someone who worked in theatres (in the xenon bulb days) and loves these pieces, these are barely worth their value in scrap. There were tens of thousands of these made across the various companies for the theatre circuits and any museum that would want one has easy access to as many as they would like. No question that they are beautiful and the square metal boxes that replaced the arc projectors can't hold a candle (ha ha) to this beauty.

You are going to want to be careful on that staircase.

In Italy or Spain this would just be a fixer upper ready for the next owner...

Forget the mask, you need a hardhat to view this location.

Looks like they have already jettisoned the core.

The drop ceiling really doesn't match the style of those doors. Amazed it is still suspended.

Beavers...

My first though was an Angry Bird with a helmet. :)

With all the broken out windows I am surprised there doesn't seem to be much if any glass in the corners of the floor.

I didn't notice back in the day, but Fla. Gator is right, there is a gap of at least a foot above the fire door. Between that and the room on the left the door couldn't be more useless.

I like the quote marks.

That would be for the best.

Love the rope and pulley system for opening the transom window.

We are certainly used to seeing large equipment left behind but surprised as some of the remaining items here. This one would have been an easy sell.
