Two DP70 (?+1674)
from the
Ontario theatre (Washington DC). Projectors removed. 1674
re-installed at IMAX 3D theatre in Indianapolis, Indiana
USA. The
Left projector was dropped while being moved from storage to
storage.
I operated DP70s at the Beltway Plaza, College Park, MD,
USA; The Vienna Theater, Vienna, VA, USA; The Backlick
Theater, Annandale, VA, USA. There were also 2 DP70s at the
Annandale Theater, Annandale, VA, USA. Unfortunately no one
thought to get serial numbers back in those days and none of
these theaters exist today.
I also ran the ones you have listed in Washington, DC at the
MacAuthor. The machines came from the Ontario which received
the XLs from the MacAuthor. Neither theater had any downtime
due to the prep work on sound and electrics.
