Jay that all sounds so interesting and exactly why I started the thread thanks for the input. I get the feeling if I had been born 20 years earlier than I was I would of loved to be a projectionist of 35mm. Thanks for that motivation to try it.

And Handman that looks so cool the first picture very vintage lol.

I have quite a few people interested in my idea now and I’ve been shopping around for quotes. Venue, equipment ie projector, screen and equivilant speakers they woulda had in 77. Looks to be costing us only just under £100.
All rented of course. A small cost shared between many.
