I just picked up this unit and it is missing the projector but otherwise seems to be in nice condition. According to an old post by Ken Layton it uses the Fairchild Seventy 07 projectors which seem to be plentiful on eBay. For instance, here: http://www.ebay.com/itm/FAIRCHILD-S...ER-8-8MM-FILM-PROJECTOR-W-SOUND-/310365696204
So my question is, can these projectors just be used exactly as-is? Or is there some kind of modification that would need to be done to get it to start/stop at the correct times when the coin is inserted? Does anyone have a picture of this model booth with the projector installed so I can see how it was mounted?
Here's a pic of the booth and another picture showing the tapes I have with it. In addition to the Fairchild tapes, I also have several cartridges that say they are for use with Brand Seventy & Galaxy endless loop projectors so I'm guessing the guy had "upgraded" the unit at some point or else had another one.
Another question....is there someplace that can back these tapes up? It would be a shame to have them disappear over time. What do you think are the odds that they are good after all these years? They are dated as having been last cleaned in 1980ish.
