DP70s
serial number 2085 (right) and 2158 (left) at the Vista theatre.
Picture by Bill Counter, 11.11.2023
The DP70 installation was done by
Boston Light & Sound.
They were rebuilt and modified at the BL&S shop in Boston,
they contain modified Kinoton RSSD readers for analog and
Dolby digital 35 and 70mm DTS installed in the head for a
vintage look. 4 and 6 track mag on custom preamps by BL&S
feeding a custom Q-Sys install and Dolby Cat. 360 NR units.
Each machine has variable speed 16-30 fps. Refurbished
strong ultra 80 lamps with new reflectors and new LP and
associates power supplies and BLS water cooling kits. The
magazines were modified to take film to and from a platter
system while keeping the magazine in place. A lot of time
and effort went into providing the latest capability with an
original vintage look.
Btw, Paul Smith from D-Mation was hired by BLS as a local
subcontractor to assist with the on-site portion of the
installation but was representing BLS.
