I live in Russell Springs,KY. It's about 30 minutes from Somerset. If you are familiar with Lake Cumberland then you know where i am. Looking forward to getting started on this machine but it may end up a winter project.... Who knows. Nonetheless, I am going to take everyone else's advice and reach out to Curtis at Memory Lane. Been checking his stuff out for a while now and I am deeply impressed with what I have seen. The History Channel should have picked this guy up to do a show if you ask me!!!!

let me know if you need help. Curtis usually puts in a new lighting fixture so that may be the way to go. Mine has the original fixture.
Good luck with it.

Jeff, I think you did very well if you bought this Stoner Theatre machine for $800 or less. I stumbled across this same machine a few weeks ago and was asleep at the switch, it would have been a reasonable drive for me from Upstate NY. Yes, that machine has some problems but the majority of the Stoners seem to have issues with missing parts, light damage, rust, etc. They seem to come that way but parts are available. It's no surprise...the Stoners are usually 50-60 years old were stored as "near junk" in barns, basements, and warehouses. In the last year or so, I've only spotted three other unrestored Stoner Theatres on Ebay or Craig's list.
One was an early grade Stoner Theatre, two lights at the top, machine open like a clamshell vs. side to side, that machine was listed at $5,000. That Stoner Theatre version is probably the rarest Theatre but that price was too high. Another Theatre was listed in Phoenix at $1,800 but appeared to have some damage, and there was another Stoner Theate in Illinois a couple months ago that looked nice but went for $2,000 (supposedly). Judging from other member postings on these boards, only a handful of Stoner Theatres have showed up over the past couple years. There are a few Stoner "fake Theatres" out there...standard 180's that have had light kits added, incluidng one on American Restoration. s Good luck with you restoration!
Dave

Me too Bonovox!!!!
Don't know how long it will take but I will post pictures once I start.
By the way, I have seen some earlier posts by you about the Chicago show. Would love to be there but I am out of town that weekend.
Nonetheless, have a great time and would love to see some pics of your purchases.
Jeff
