Theatre rebuilt and machines removed to Hoyts store in Auckland for
spares. Possibly moved to Top
Town Cinema in Blenheim. Graeme Edwards bought these machines when the OCTAGON closed in 1992 and moved them to the WESTEND CINEMA Hastings where they were used for about 12 months before I built the mutliplex and closed the cinema. They were like new (having done only 2 sessions per day since installation-a few extra sessions in holiday) and I sold them to a private collector complete with 70mm lenses, soundheads etc. |
