TulsaMotion Picture Projection Services, Inc. Ben Kehe (p)
 Two DP70 (2257+2258). This pair is probably one of the nicest in existence. They came out of an audience reaction room in Hollywood and they are clean, the paint is very good and they both have their complete conversion kits in the original cases. Both machines have the short lamp tables which works out very nicely in a screening room environment. Both machines are complete with their original magazine doors, etc. Best Regards, Ben Kehe  23.02.2004
TulsaFox Theatre
 Two DP70 (2420+2421). Installed November 1966. Removed December 1975 when cinema was twinned. DP70 to Mann Theatres warehouse in Los Angeles (CA) for parts.

 Two DP70 (639+638) from Ritz Theatre. Closed. "The Sound of Music" played 16 months with one 70mm print. One DP70 (639) remains today in the lobby of what used to be the Brooke Theatre. This building is now a restaurant with 639 on display. 638 is in storage in a garage about three blocks from the Brook Restaurant.
TulsaContinental Theatre
 Two DP70 (2323+2324). This was a D-150 house originally built by George Gaughn of Oklahoma City. He built three Continentals; one in Tulsa, another in Oklahoma City and another in Denver, Colorado. These two machines were sold to an individual at Weatherford, Oklahoma when the Continental in Tulsa closed. This person stored them and then sold them to whoever built the Al Monte. I personally ran alot of 35mm and 70mm through this pair of machines when I was a relief projectionist at the Continental in the 1970s. This is a great pair Norelcos and to the best of my knowledge, they are still in service at the Al Monte. Ben Kehe
TulsaRialto Theatre
 Two DP70 (639+___). This pair of machines with serial numbers in the mid 20's were originally installed in 1956 for the Oklahoma premier of "Oklahoma!".

In 1958 the DP70s were moved to the Ritz Theatre in Tulsa. Ben Kehe
