[SML] disposing of slide projectors, 35mm film projector (115 hours only)

[Richard Niederberg]

Dear Andrew,
This doesn’t help you, but I’d like to tell you about a situation that I
went through. I had a hard time giving away the Moviola that was used to
edit Easy Rider, and many other famous movies, when I switched over to
non-lineal (electronic) editing many years ago. It finally was used as a
Display in my Law School’s Lobby (the former Bullocks Wilshire). It was
even used to edit the “Dueling Banjo” sequence from “Deliverance”, I was
told, but it was hard to give it away. (Even for FREE].

/s/ Richard
