Cinema equipment collector page



Bauer Standard 7.jpg - 20818 Bytes Purpose of this page :
  • Share information and experience on film and projection equipment
  • Communication with other collectors all over the world
My main focus is the technique used in Cinemas and projection equipment from the early days till today. I own a number of full operational 35mm and 16mm projectors from the 30's and 50's. I will show them in future on these pages.
Furthermore I like to prepare a list of brand names of original cinema equipment from all over the world to be published on Internet, with the history of the models. So feel free to send me information on brands from your part of the world!

BACKGROUND INFORMATION :



Items of special interest to me :
PhotographsFilms Documentation Collectibles
Cinemas interior and exterior
Projection booths
Cinema equipment
News reels
Commercials
Trailers
Technical drawings
Manuals
Floor plans
Tooling
Original ancillary equipment

I am not in selling equipment nor in extensive buying. It is just a hobby and I want to enjoy this without playing with massive amounts of money.

When you want to exchange experiences with installation of old equipment or fine-tuning send me an EMail and I will come back to you. Installation and solving problems is every time a challenge which I enjoy.

Just to give you some notion about my home cinema I included this list. I included some links to pictures of the equipment mentioned here inclusive a little more background information.
