 Four DP70 (1468+1485 +____+____) 1468+1485 came from a cinema in Holland. Both projectors have been modified to accept large reels.

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

SeattleBlue Mouse Theatre (*»)
 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.

2416 sits in the middle port and is not currently being used. (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.
