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

[Riter, Andrew]

Our IA projectionist local disbanded in the mid 90s.  after all the projectors went digital, and the movie houses locked them out forever.  Busted the union.

We brought in a union projectionist whenever we needed the projector run, since no one in the building has those skills.

[CAUTION: Non-UBC Email]
When I went through a similar situation, I talked to the local union of projectionists and they had someone who bought our similar set up from us. Better than dumping it.  Also there is a used equipment site that "could" help. Try searching for used equipment sites.

Good luck,

Hi everyone

I need to dispose of some original building projection equipment, but I don’t want to trash/recycle it.

35mm projector
3 level platter system
2 slide projectors

Everything was originally installed in our cinema when the building opened in 1997.

The 35mm has only 115 hours on it.
The projectors: guessing less than 50 hours.

(however the rubber pulleys etc. on the projector and platter are shot (cracked, broken), from non-use,; an easy repair, I expect)


Other than recycling/landfill, are there any collector groups that I could connect with?
I know they aren’t antiques or OLD or unique, but still.  Just looking for other leads.

Vancouver / West Coast.


Thanks.
