Hi everyone, I'm brand new to this site and I don't even actually own a theater yet but I am looking into it. There is one for lease in town that I might take over. Its something i've always wanted to do so this is my chance.
Anyways, I have called the old owners of the theater and they were supposed to get back to me with a price today. For the seats, screen, projector . . . etc. Anyways, I thought I should ask you guys about the projector in there.
Its a "strong" Super Lume-X with 25,024.8 Hours on the meter. I will attach a picture I took of it.
I also have a lead on a nearly new
"Fuji Central"
Type F - V300 PTH
Ser. # 3055
For $10,000. It was installed in a private Home theater in the VERY rich part of town and he apparently used it 4 or 5 times and then packed it up. It comes with two 2,000 watt bulbs and 16mm accessories and the whole shebang.
I guess it will depend on what the current owners want for their equipment. But I'm wondering if I should just buy the Fuji and use it and keep the current projector as a backup? Any info would be great as I know pretty much nothing about film Projectors. I don't know what lenses are on either of them, I forgot to check the make while I was looking but they seemed like good lenses, no scratches or anything. Looked like a Zeiss maybe? I don't know if Zeiss makes projector lenses or not.
Anyways, like I said any help would be greatly appreciated
