Fact, not rumour. Inchol 35/70 projector made in
Brazil. Simular to
DP70 in film trap. The company went out of business in the 1980's but
Mr. Orion Jardim de Faria is still alive (and all his sons are in the business in the United States and Brazil ) and parts are still being made by former employees.
Inchol made over 1500
projectors, 16mm, 16mm/35mm, 16mm/35mm/70mm and 35/70mm. Our company is planning to remove two of the 35/70 Inchols and replace them with Cinemeccanica in a govenerment installation in Brazil. The projectors we are removing are 26 years old and only have 1500 hours of use and are in perfect condition.

While going through my files, I found photos of the 35-70 mm Inchol which
had DP70 type of film gate. This unit has a 2000 watt xenon using a Philips
design. This unit shown was built in 1974 and has approximately 300 hours
of use and still in operation. It will be replaced shortly with newer
equipment. Not shown in the photos is a 16/35mm projector using a common
film gate / four lens turret / and separate 16mm + 35mm soundheads.
Inchol
also made a few 16/35/70mm combo projectors. The company went out of
business in the 1980's when import tariffs where lifted in Brazil. present
tariff is 77% so it is still a challenge. The former owner, in his late 80's
is writing a book and all of his sons are in the business (service in the
USA and Brazil, manufacturing and cinema ownership).

Dear Thomas,
I am making arrangements to travel to São Paulo next May, in order to see
and talk to Orion de Faria. We have been exchanging messages lately. Sadly,
he has a severe heart condition with a pace maker installed, but I expect my
visit to be in a very positive mood on his behalf, especially that he is
quite willing to talk to me about his life as projector manufacturer.
I was told by him that when his shop was about to close down, an employee
saw a bunch of papers and documents and, assuming that they had no other
useful purpose, threw them all away in the bin. Can you believe this?
As a result, nothing is left of his manufacturing methods and blue-prints,
so most of the information I am bound to get will be by his own words. If
only I could get an instructional manual from a third party, I would be
fine. I still have hopes, but it is not going to be easy.
Orion already told me that he sold around 178 70 mm projectors, but no
recollection where they were sent to, which is a pity.
Anyhow, I'll keep you posted.
Best regards,
Paulo Roberto.
