 Regarding
the Two DP70’s at the tower theater in Oklahoma. I just
walked the abandoned space and they are both still there and
seemingly in FANTASTIC condition.
I am curious to know more about what information and
processes on ensuring their operation as the new owners are
not very aware of what they have, but are interested in
restoring them to operational status.

 I’d
love any insight you could provide.

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 |

Continental
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 |

Rialto 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!". A friend of mine has
pictures of this installation along with a picture of
Shirley Jones talking on the phone in projection room on
premiere night. In 1958 the DP70s were moved to the Ritz
Theatre in Tulsa. Ben Kehe |
