Yey, Silent Hill 3 Reference!

oh jesus......someone get them out!!! Quick!!!

Rick is entirely correct , of course, about the boxes beneath the windows (portholes)., Each projector had such a control box containing a switch for transferring power from the photocell lamp on one projector to the other (along with some type of indicator light to show which soundhead was active), as well as a pot for regulating the sound level on each projector. The other half ot the changeover procedure involved stepping on a pedal attached to the base of the projector pedestal, which quickly closed the fire shuitter on one machine while simultaneously opening the fire shutter on the other machine. It was all in all a faily crude procedure, but very effective.

I left the theater projection business just before the advent of digial sound, platter systems, xenon lamps, and so forth.

Thanks Motts!

One can only imagine how beautiful that must have been when it was new, not to say it's not beautiful now. It's nice to see the natural state of the theater without graffiti and vandalism.

There is something I can see and feel in these photos that I can't describe, but i like it. Look in the upper right corner. Kinda looks like the shadow of a lady sitting on a stool.

I love that woodwork!

Stunning! There doesn't seem to be any vandalism there, and that is unusual. I too, call for WALLPAPER!

What a waste! There are people who would pay a good price for those chairs to sit on their porches. Beautiful, beautiful wood.

Love the patina on the the wood doors.

The bed looks as though it is trying to break out of the place.

Xamination chair.

Can you imagine the bordom? A life there was no life, and should make us count our blessings that we have the life we have.

The wall to the right of the door is nearly a pile of dirt.

The beds seem to be conversing, and ready to quickly arange themselves in neat rows at the sound of approaching foot steps.
