Sorry for the post, but I am lost. I need to find some group in the
UK prefferably. A friend of mine has bought an old cinema and all the
projectors are still in it. I need a group where I can post some
details of the things to either sell or find more information on.

TIA

Yes wrong group, but I'm into 16 mm film projection, doubtfull if you will
find a NG for this type of cinema. You would have to settle for a Forum,
now I'm a member of 3 all in USA but people from UK/Europe do join in to
them. These 3 are basical 16mm, 8mm and digital, but some people are into
35mm for a living or retired from the commercial guauge. Now the bad news
is I can't at this moment give you the internet address as the computer with
this infomation is at repair. But will do my best to get this info. on its
return.
In the mean time you could try a Google search for film forums.
People sell cinema equipment on Ebay.
I'm in West Yorkshire is the cinema in this area?

David

Hi David,

Thanks for the reply. I havent got a clue what the mm is on it, I
assumed 35 as there is some negative like film in one of the
machines. I am in Devon, on an EX36 postcode if that helps (South
Molton, near Barnstaple/Exeter). I've been doing some googling, and
know that the machines are Gaumont Kalee President's. I've also
discovered I have around 200 reels, some with film on them, and a
Duosonic sound like machine!

Any links greatly appreciated, I'd love to keep one, but the wife wont
have it, and they look pretty heavy!

Kind Regards,

Ben

Anyone who would want to put these machines into service would have
trouble getting them going again, let alone the possibility of fitting
Xenon lamps (as old projectors mostly use carbon arc lamps) or a newer
form of sound system.

The Projected Picture Trust are a charitable group that will take old film
equipment and restore it to good working order (if at all possible). As
they're charitable, they don't generally pay for equipment - but they will
probably take it off your hands and ensure it doesn't end up in a
landfill. Their website is at www.ppttrust.org
