Well, these are not theater seats, but are very similar. The seats are actually auditorium seats from the Lake City High School here in MN. They renovated after 80 years(yep, the seats are from the 1930's), and a junk dealer bought all 256 seats and removed them himself. They were anchored to the cement.
He told me they were in rows of 11, and he broke them down into rows of 4 to sell. I bought one row of 4 for $40. He wanted $50, but I got him down a little.
The seats and seatbacks made out of wood, and the frame is cast iron. The ends have the initials "LC", which I thought was the manufacturer's logo, but the dealer said they were custom built for the Lake City H.S. all those years ago, so obviously LC is Lake City.
This row of seats is only missing one seat number plate, #4. 1 thru 3 are intact, as is the row #(B) on the arm of seat #4. They are very comfortable despite being wood. I moved 1 game(Moon Patrol) to the other side of my arcade to make room. Now visitors and fellow gamers can sit in the seats and have a nice view of the whole room. The mural, the emergency booth, and all the games are nicely displayed from the seats. Also, they're front row seats for anything I want to play over the drive-in speakers; music, old radio shows, etc.
Here's some pics:
