Some DP70 machines have moved from their location and again are in the neighbourhood of where they were made: in the village of Geldrop near Eindhoven, Netherlands. DP70's nr. 1820 and 1821 that used to be in the Colosseum in Vienna were bought by the Plaza Futura Theatre in Eindhoven that is planning to move to a new location in Eindhoven and will re-install both machines in a take-over installation.
Momentarily both machines are stored in Heeze near Geldrop in the crematorium (!). Ton Beetz, chief-projectionist at the Plaza Futura, 30 Jun 2008
