Hi,Eveyone 

                   I only have a few minutes .

First Im driving to the post office to get a money order for an item i got off greed bay . I round a small curve and see the weird'es thing  A large black thing coming out a second story window & crashing to the ground  Yep a movie Projector I stop right in the middle of the street & YELL Stop DON'T do anymore ! Who's in Charge !!! I spoke with the forman and cot premission to look in the Old Theater called a Buddy I havent seen in 2 years He show up in 20 mimutes .Now Im loading in his van what left of the second Projector & Lights & Speakers & and other stuff i have NO Ideal what it is .My Buddy gives the guy's $30 bucks each .Then my friend ( Who is 68 ) Has me diving in the huge dumpster throwing at least 125 full & short rolls of film to him (Now I.v been there an Hour & I soupose to be Back at work !!)
Anyway after loading his van (Did I mention It's Raining the Hole time  First time in 3 weeks )
I did grap a few small items I thought were Cool off the Projector that was thrown out the window . I had to get back to work !!I did'nt even get to the post office & now I'm covered in Mud .
I return to the Theater an hour later to give the Forman a Busness card .For Later jops .One of the crew brings me a MOVIE poster from the movie Species 2 (1998) and it's a Holagram style (Cool ) I also load a short row ( 4 ) of the Theater Seats for another buddys Daughter for her yard .  All in All Majior F U N  !!!!

Gr-8 lunch break ! ! !
Too bad there wasn't a soda machine in the back room...

Yeah, I'd love to hear more about the inside of the theater.

I just can't believe that people still just chunk things out the window like that?
I'm glad you didn't have a face-to-face meeting with a client after dumpster diving in the rain....PU!

       Those old theater seats work well for maximum seating in
a minimum amount of space, plus the seat cushion springs up out
of the way when not in use.

What a great lunch hour!!
Post pics of what all you found and should be able to sort what it is. The old carbide arc projectors are very cool. Theater seats are worth good coin. If there are any art deco light fixtures left grab those as well. Looking forward to pics!!

Hello' All 

              I'm Back !
The reason i only had a short time before is because I was called to go Back to the Theater 
 
Jim . There was nothing left of the Refreshment stand & no old machines .BUT the call was to pick-up a Cavalier CS-64 C Squre Corrner that was found in the celler 

Dan . Sorry They would not let me inside for safety reason .  I did bring a Hard hat Just in case .

Tom , Yep I stunk  & Check Picture for another Chunked piece of projector part .

Glen . Theres still a few left  ( See Picture )
 
Creighon . Sorry no light's or Fixtures left The Ceiling Metal was cool but they messed it up removing it . Maybe you'll know what kind of Projector they were from the part in Picture ??Posted

I did find a few more peices of glass marked Simplex for the side of the projector in the dumbster (Dirty again ) I added a couple of pictures to this Post & the next post Of the Theater & The Window that Projector's fly from

Free !!!!! Cavalier CS-64C   The sign was a mess !!! Really sticky black Mold ?Stuff on the seal around it .Took me 2 hours just to clean the sign   Also ther was tape over the front coin entery area at one time .And it looks to me the Changer must have shorted out ? I have not pluged it in yet due to laying it on it's back for traveling .There were 3 slug rejectors with it .
