Vienna Capitol (»)
  Two DP70 (____+1497). Projectors went to Kolosseum 2 and 3.
Vienna Filmarchiv Austria
  Two DP70 (1489+1490) from private collector.

The Filmarchive Austria has no DP70 projector. I talked with the director of our museum and he said that about 15 years ago this could have been the case. But since he is in charge there is no 70mm-projector at all in the Filmarchiv. If you look at your Austrian list, the same numbers 1489 and 1490 are also listed under "Vienna Privat Cinema". I would say the Filmarchiv sold them to this privat person.

With kind regards, Mag. Raimund FRITZ, Filmarchiv Austria / Metrokino. September 2013

red) / El Cid (in red) / Le grand bleu / The Abyss / Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom.

December 1992: Spartacus
March/April 1993: Hoffa

Raimund FRITZ, September 2013

Both DP70s are actually in current 35mm operation, obviously less now that we are fully digitized. According to my technicians the platter can be used for 70mm, all that is missing are those plastic rings and the thingamajig that gets stuck in the middle (‘Spinne’, in German). We also have a bunch of Spools, deflection rollers, lenses and even a more or less complete roll of "THE ABYSS". Norman Shetler, December 2011
