ViennaGartenbau Kino (*»P)
 Two DP70 (2032+2038) installed for when cinema opened on December 19th 1960 with "Spartacus". Both DP70s are actually in current 35mm operation, obviously less now that we are fully digitized. According to my technicians the platter can be used for 70mm, all that is missing are thos plastic rings and the thingamajig that gets stuck in the middle (‘Spinne’, in German). We also have a bunch of Spools, deflection rollers, lenses and even a more or less complete roll of "THE ABYSS", seemingly the last film in 70mm shown regularly at Gartenbaukino.

Norman Shetler, December 2011

Cinemiracle: "Windjammer" was shown from May 19th 1961 for 37 weeks, followed by "Porgy & Bess" (in 70mm) in Feb 1962

Cinerama: "How the West Was Won", "The Wonderful World Of The Brothers Grimm", "Seven Wonders of the World" (Nov 3rd 1962) and "South Sea Adventure" were the only 4 titles played in 3-strip.
