Skyview Drive-In Movie Theater Santa Cruz, CA at www.pinballrebel.com
Here
is a picture of 1/2 of the Skyview Drive-In
projection booth in Santa Cruz, CA mid
1970s
I worked here as a relief projectionist between 1964 (when it was a single screen theater) to about 1981.
This was the booth after the theater was "twinned".
Dave Thomas was the regular projectionist but I (Bruce MacDuffee) worked there on most of his nights off.
This part of the booth was for the 2nd screen. The recess in the wall just to the right of the door is a built-in 6000 foot reel rewind that I built. The lamps were Strong's and the projectors were Simplex.
