There's a pair just like this, modified for a 2000W Xenon lamp, still operating in The Historic Artcraft Theatre in Franklin, Indiana.

BTW: The lenses are worthless too. They are probably clouded and delaminted inside making them worthless. Today's optics are of much higher quality than these were.

These aren't worth a lot of money nowadays except to a few collectors from the old school. The most worthwhile part is the sound system which is tube amps. The projectors that i removed from the NY state psychiatric hospital were identical to these. I paid $1,600 for the lot and sold the sound system for $2,500 by itself. Those tube amps are worth a fortune.

Where is this place located? I would like to contact the state about removing these projectors. I have two exactly identical projectors to these that I removed from a psychiatric hospital in New York several years ago.

i still think it would be fun to be in one of those rooms. it would be fun.

Hi there,

I do have the same lamp, does somebody knows what its value?
Thanks

i think it would be fun to be put in a padded room. even if the walls r hard e would still run myself in the walls. lol

you must be such a good neighbor.

Huh... makes you wonder... what will become of my stuff when I die? And when will people stop visiting my grave? At what point does a person truly become forgotten?

Personally, the second I saw a clown I would have run screaming out of the building (right into the waiting arms of Security, no doubt, but that's okay, if they could save me from the evil clown!)

you'll all eventually realize you need it worse than me

i've been put in two mental hospitals and looking forward to the next. as soon as i get my sh*t straightened out i will eventually work in one. i'm obsessed w/ addisons disease and skitsaphrenia or however you spell it. i've always wanted to be able to feel what goes on in their heads. i've been restrained many times my grandmother was skitsaphrenic and she was put in a asylum and eventually went crazy and died. can you imagine going so crazy your mind can't handle it anylonger so your body shuts down and you die! thats my dream. my goal for my life. and then to rot in hell! trust me i'm already started rotting away.

That clown iz so creepy i would see that in a dark room jumping out at you with its mouth open ready to eat you and your loved ones

Just happened upon this site, and found the glorious photos of REALLY good ol' Made-in-USA equipment. I used to be a projectinist with this kind of equipment (exactly the same, in fact) and it brings back memories of pleasant times and better movies.
But, at the same time, looking at the pictures of the empty and run-down theater, these machines look rather lonely, as if waiting for someone to come along and start them up again. I see they even have a few sets of carbon arc rods ready in their boxes, waiting for someone to use them.....

what kind off stuff was actually their
