Looks like the guts of a carbon arc power supply.

Looks like the projection booth was used for storage purposes after the theater closed.

Sounds like another case of “demolition by neglect”.

Looks like it had RCA “Old Style” junction boxes on the speaker posts. This would indicate the theater was originally equipped with an RCA sound system.

Looks like the speaker junction boxes are RCA “Old Style” ones.

I think International Projectionist magazine (published for Union projectionists) did a story about this theater and other drive-ins which used 16mm film instead of 35mm.

Wow that’s a big screen. Looks like picture area is 42 feet high by about 100 feet wide.

Looks like this theater was equipped with RCA “Old Style” junction boxes for the speakers. Likely this theater had an RCA sound system.

Didn’t all the equipment at this theater get auctioned off a few months ago?

However, the old website still works.

It would be nice to see an overhead view (like from a drone) of the field layout. I’d like to see how they got 9 screens laid out. How many acres does this theater have?
