<div> <font size="3">They used to be made primarily by Feller Scenic that went out of business a while ago. We had a number of them that we auctioned off earlier in the year. Feller had a lot that were auctioned also. but I have no idea where they all ended up. I think BML bought some but I suspect they no longer have them. I'll try and dig through some records and see if I can find who bought ours.</font><br>

Discussing in class today moving scenery with manual deck winches. My usual question came up….”Who makes these?”…
<div><br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Does anyone actually make and sell these? I’ve been doing this theatre stuff for 50 years and never really saw a commercial one ….Theatre I was at in the early 80’s did buy two from scene shop in NYC but more as surplus equipment than made
for profit. Is it just not profitable enough? How about a “kit”. I always had a hard time buying the grooved drum…..just wondering. Many places still can’t afford Creative Conners or others now selling automation.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Like this ……with or without the pneumatic brake.( mechanical would do) ….maybe with provision for adding a motor (90v dc pretty easy for those starting out.) </div>
