Two
DP70 (1105+1106). 
Our theater is a John Eberson designed atmospheric theater
built in 1929. I'm sure these projectors are more recent. We
restored the theater from 1989 to 1995, so maybe they were
installed at that time. One of the sound processors is shot,
and we couldn't locate a source to repair it, nor could we
find the parts to address the sound situation. We are a
non-profit and have not used the projectors for years (Since
the early 90's) because lack of funding prevents us from
affording movie rights. Anyway, I am hoping to be included
on your list of DP70s in Indiana. I have attached a couple
of photos for your review.
One DP70 (1674)
with base number # 59-247 from April 1997. 70mm by September
1997. 1674 is the right machine from the MacArthur theatre
installation in Washington, DC. The left projector sustained
a fatal fall from the booth while being removed from the
MacArthur. 1674 is a twin motor, 24/30 fps system. Two
DTS 6D players for both 35/70 mm digital presentations &
a DA-20 for Dolby digital 35 mm shows. Processor is a
Dolby CP-200 with SR cards added in separate card cage.
Lamphouse is a new Kineton and uses a 7K lamp.
