I've had the car for ten years, where do I get a DOP reel?

Hello Karl, Spending time at Thistledown?

Arizona Battery These guys have everything.

The car lives in Las Vegas but was built in the San Fernando Valley in the mid 70's by one of my best friends. He was thinking of selling it and I could let it get away. Here is a little car/engine info: The block was purchased from Ford Obsolete in the San Fernando Valley in 1977. It is a NOS 59AB engine block that was bought with two others and Magna-fluxed. The best of the three blocks is in the car. The engine has forged pistons and 21A rods and full floating bearings on a 1950 Mercury forged crank. It has a three and 5/16? bore, and a three and 3/8? stroke. 1940 Ford hydraulic brakes make it stop. It has a '39 Ford 3 speed with '50 Ford gears When my Buddy bought the car it was dead stock, and owned by a guy in the Antique Ford Club. It is the only chopped Fordor '33 I have ever seen or heard of.

And don't forget the Tudor models. Henry was pretty sharp with the naming thing. Here is a picture of the engine.

Vertical and horizontal lens shift works great if the projector has it.

I just took the motor blimp off my camera to see if I screwed up. The info I gave you is correct for MY camera. Let us know if "It's alive". Cheers, Marc

I've never opened the motor unit itself. Sorry I can't offer more info.

Pin Five is negative pin Seven is positive power in on my camera. Other pins are for buckle trip camera utility lights and I have seen them wired a variety of ways. You still will need a Mitchell run switch box or something home brewed with a circuit breaker and a switch. The motor may need 30 Volts DC instead of 24. Check the labels. Good luck! BTW- The gear is for a BNC blimp.

Land Rover and Jaguar were owned by Ford. Tata Motors of India is now the proud owner of the two brands.

Try your local Lionel Train shop. If they don't want to let you record sounds in the store, they can refer you to a Lionel club that will be glad to help you. Some of the "Toy Train sounds" sound very realistic, and some sound like toy trains. With a little speed change and pitch shifting you can get almost any sound you need. Lionel

Downloads are the future. But a good portion of the market doesn't have the bandwidth right now. Plus people like to buy something tangible..................Like my vinyl records too. Remember less than 1 in 4 homes have HD sets and what percentage of them are going to buy HD programming, let alone a HD disc player or down load device. Downloads take the game out of the retailers hands. I see a long future for SD DVD and a niche market for HD via disc or download.

Blu Ray discs have a hard coating applied on the data side to protect them from handling damage. I think the real future of HD on a 12cm disc is up to the CE manufactures and the studios. The laptop/desktop computer market will also embrace or ignore Blu Ray. I just hope the fence sitter's at the studios will pump out some films at an accelerated pace now that the "war" is over. Remember Sony still makes VHS decks, and I bet Toshiba will be in the Blu or combo business. Blade Runner and the kubrick films made the HD disc experiance worthwhile for me. I only want more.

I have both HD formats and have no concerns on HD-DVD going away eventually. I think there will be some awesome bargains to be had. I also believe the My HD-DVD player is the best SD DVD player I have owned. As far as Blu Ray taking signifigant market share from SD DVD, I don't see it happening in the near future. 5% market share of the optical movie biz is optimistic at best. The Blu Posse better have affordable players and 2500 to 5000 titles ready to go for next Christmas. I have been in the game for about 18 months and I ran out of movies I want to buy. Instead of two niche HD formats, there will be only one moving forward, I was cheering for the HD-DVD camp but after they lost studio support it was all over. It bothers me that the more expensive format came out ahead, and now that there is no competition the promos will vanish. Investors cheer as Toshiba nears HD DVD surrender

From NHK HD-DVD RIP Toshiba plans to withdraw from HD-DVD production Toshiba Corporation has decided to withdraw from next generation high-definition DVD production. Toshiba has been struggling with its version of the next generation DVD format, as support for Blu-ray technology has spread among US retailers. Toshiba has been in heated competition with other Japanese electronic giants such as Sony, Panasonic and Hitachi, which produce the high-definition DVD format, Blu-ray. The Blu-ray format now makes up 90 percent of the Japanese high-definition DVD market after winning last year's price war for DVD recorders and players. Toshiba faced even more difficulty when the major movie studio, Warner Brothers Entertainment, announced that it planned to use only the Blu-ray format for its movie software. The company said it will continue to sell HD-DVD products for a while but will stop further development of HD DVD. Meanwhile, it said its DVD factories in Aomori Prefecture, northern Japan, would be closed. Market observers said that Toshiba could suffer a loss of hundreds of millions of US dollars.

"The Asphalt Jungle" was released in 1950, a is 1.37:1. I always noticed the visible lights. Even when they use a practical without any gimmicks it is always too close to the actors. The Flo's over the lunch counter with the cat, is a good example. Sterling Hayden and James Whitmore (Dix and Gus) are getting hit by light coming from every direction. Truly a great Film. I am a big Noir fan and this is one of the best. Have you seen "Laura" directed by Otto Preminger?

Ask your Governor. LOL

It should act like an LCD projector .

Please send more Kenny vs. Spenny. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0384746/

John is right. The new Sony VPL-VW40 SXRD (LCos) projector streets well under $3K. I you have a room that you can control ambient light, you can have a ten foot wide image for the price of a 52" LCD. I have the Sony Ruby VPL-VW100 for the last 18 months, and I couldn't be happier. The projector is almost silent @ 22db "Big screen" is redefined by front projection.

If the player and TV have component video inputs give that a try as well. Sometimes with older LCDs you might prefer the picture. The only hitch is the Blu Ray player won't up convert SD discs over component connections. Did you have the latest SD release of "2001"?
