if you have a need for a cinema film scanner (or can give it a good home!), and can arrange to have it transported from the Seattle area, message me on fedi or e-mail me at hello@alyx.sh
@alyx cinematography.com forums might be a good place to mention this

@ajroach42@retro.social @alyx@frogs.lgbt @vfrmedia@social.tchncs.de @rey@toot.cat I mean, if they have loading assistance on that end and you foot the bill for a flight to seatac and the rental truck and fuel I'm down to do the driving haha
-
yes they're Spirit 2Ks
i believe both of them have the 4K upgrade things@alyx nice find, without the 4k upgrade the price for one unit was something like one million dollars...

@alyx perhaps the Pacific film archive? filmcuratorial@berkeley.edu

@rey @alyx @ajroach42 @djsundog
my first thought was "how easy is it to get that to GA?" (I know its a long way and that kit is heavy and bulky, but in USA you often don't need extra driving licence to drive large vehicles if its not a commercial venture
)if you are living in the US and are a nerd, owning a powerful vehicle that can pull your enclosed trailer that you also own is a must lol

@alyx have you already reached out to Scarecrow? they're probably your best bet for finding an actual home for these

@ajroach42 we're not looking to sell them, just re-home them to somewhere that can use them! we rescued them for just the cost of a liftgate rental and aren't looking to make a profit flipping these
we were told that both work, but from poking around inside only one of them currently has a lamp module in it
I think this is realistically a one works with one for spare parts scenario
@alyx alright, that's good for me. We'll figure out logistics on this end and be in touch?
-
@FeloniousPunk @boyago @alyx library at UW might also be good to ask, since they're in town
-
@alyx standard mk2 flux capacitor…
Why do you tempt us with these things?

@alyx if things don't work out in Georgia maybe try the Hollywood Theatre in Portland.

@ajroach42 @djsundog @alyx @vfrmedia @rey I'd offer to drive a leg across the Midwest if I didn't already have other imminent travel right now
Edit to add: please feel free to ping me if you end up arranging a pony express style transport plan. I could donate a day of my time to the cause if the timing works out. I also have a minivan I can put into freight mode if we're trans loading, or I could invest in a tow hitch like I've been strongly considering for a while and tow a small trailer (emphasis on small)

@alyx Holy shit, I haven't seen one of these since the company I worked for owned one!
