I worked 43 years as a projectionist. I ran everything from 8mm to 70mm and Imax. Digital took that all away. I miss the movies. Now all I get to do is accompany silent films on the organ.

very good vid. I was never a projectionist but I loved the tech. when things went digital all the film gear was selling for cheap, if not free. I took it up as a hobby about 5-6 years ago. Now I have a full 35mm setup in my house
