They are now installed in my private home theater and are fully operational. They are outfitted with xenon lamps and play through a Dolby CP100 with full sets of magnetic pre-amps. Both of my machines are EL-4001, 120V 60Hz models that use 1 motor with a belt arrangement to switch from 24 to 30 fps. The serial numbers are 2029 and 2027. And yes, I did have the pleasure of running "Oklahoma!" in 30 fps 70MM in my home! Mike Zaiontz, 15.07.2005

I have a full set of lenses for both machines, 35MM flat and scope, and 70MM flat. Someone recently gave me a Cinerama lens for 70MM projection, but I have not had a chance to try it out yet.
