 May
2017:
I currently have 4 Norelco DP70 35/70mm projectors that are installed here
in my home screening room. All 4 of these Norelco projectors are the single
motor version and all 4 have working lower reel shaft take-up mechanisms.
Norelco projectors 1 and 2 were modified by me in the 1990s by the addition
of new redesigned custom built lower projector bases that allow the
projectors to have 36 inch diameter upper and lower film magazines. Film
reels up to and including 34 inch diameter reels can be used.
Projectors 1 and 2 have Strong X-60C Xenon lamp houses with 3000 watt Xenon
bulbs.
Norelco projectors 3 and 4 have Strong Super 80 Xenon lamp houses with 3000
watt Xenon bulbs.
Norelco projector 3 has DTS, Dolby Digital and Sony SDDS 3000 digital sound
heads installed.
Norelco projector 4 has the original upper and lower Norelco film magazines
that were once originally installed at the Seattle Cinerama theater.
All of the electrical and sound cable runs from the 4 Norelco projectors are
installed in their own separate EMT electrical conduit pipes. My theater
screen is 23 foot wide and my theater auditorium has a total of 19 Altec
speakers installed here. A Eprad double mut is installed for use next to
Norelco projector 3. This installation is still not fully completed as I
have made many design changes and modifications in the past few years

 Two DP70 (2414 + 2438).
These came out of the Cinema Center, Omaha, Nebraska, and are temporarily in the possession of Ken Layton in Olympia, Washington, where they will be cleaned and repaired (if needed), then moved back to my home in Marysville, Washington. Ken has a couple of repair jobs to complete before he gets to the DP70s. I'm guessing that I will get them back around May or June. Matt Lutthans |

Two DP70 (+1379).
"Oklahoma" from september 1956. "Around
the World in 80 Days" played 51 weeks and one day.
Last day was 03.04.1958. It was a long run record in
Seattle. It grossed (also record) 369.000 dollars. 728
seats. According to Bob McRae, who sold me my DP70, my
Norelco (1379) came from the Blue Mouse theater. When
that theater closed, it went out by the SeaTac airport to
The Lewis and Clark theater and was retired from there. Bob
McRae had it at his shop for a while untill I bought it from
him several years ago. Greg Muller |

 Three DP70 (____+2044+2416).
The interesting thing about the original pair is that someone
has adapted and handmade a cinefocus gate for it (70mm
only). Both original DP70s removed. One machine to Mark
Guldbrandsen, Salt Lake City (USA) the other projector
broken after a fall down the stairs when it was removed. 2416's
base number 6348. 2044's base number is 6630.

(They are using a new FP75E, which projects through the left
window in the booth). 3-strip Cinerama re-opened June 2,
2000 with "How the West Was Won" and "This
is Cinerama" on 32-foot high Cinerama screen. |
