 The
Saturn electronics store on Tauentzienstraße 9 in the Berlin's Europa Center
has exhibited an authentic Todd-AO DP70 70mm projector in their department
of Hi-Fi and electronics. Fortunately, I've a day off today, so I've been there and enjoyed the award winning Philips DP70 projector, which is even loaded with a reel of 70mm film. The machine can be seen on the third floor in the Megastore's HiFi department. |

 The
DP70 serial number plate. This is machine #1870 from the former "CITY"
cinema in Europacenter. A friendly shop assistant told me that this is one of the projectors of the former Berlin Royal Palast cinema which was demolished in spring/summer 2006 in order to make room for the new Saturn "Flagship-Store" electronics store, which opened in the summer of 2007 in Tauentzienstraße. The JBL loudspeakers behind the DP70 is also from the demolished Royal Palast. |
