Behind the Lights Episode 2: Simplex E-7 projector from 1959

Here's the second video in our series on the film projectors on display in our projection booth at the Luxury 5 Cinemas in Mitchell, SD. This look back in time focuses on the equipment that was installed in the Roxy in Mitchell in 1959. This is a typical projector of that time; a Simplex E-7 projector with a Simplex SH-1000 soundhead and Peerless Magnarc carbon arc lamphouse. See what it took to operate these projectors. Watch for more videos in the coming weeks. Hope you enjoy!
