TOPIC: size of Kong?

size of Kong? 24 Dec 2005 16:55 #11757

leeler OFFLINE Platinum Boarder Posts: 1354 Thank you received: 13 Karma: 12	Can anyone who's running Kong tell me the distance from the platter ring to the end of the movie. I have a smaller then standard diameter platter. I'm trying to figure out if I HAVE to run an intermission or if it'd just be a good idea...

leeler OFFLINE Platinum Boarder Posts: 1354 Thank you received: 13 Karma: 12	Hmmm, I thought that part was standard across all platters. Oh well, the platter ring is 13" diameter and the platter itself is 48" diameter. I had to put an intermission in for Return of the King but that was about fifteen minutes longer, if I remember right.

I haven't measured the distance. But, our Christie platter can hold the entire print and has about 5-6 inches to spare before hitting the edge of the platter. I was able to put the print together, clamp it with Goldsberg clamps and move the print up what seems to be a million steps to the projection room. I'm sure that when I transfer the print to our Alpha platter, it will be a tight fit, as it isn't the same diameter as the Christie. At least it should be easier carrying it down the stairs!
