We have been active collectors and curators of vintage motion picture equipment for over 49 years. All of our antiques are guaranteed to be as described and photographed. We offer partial or full refurbishment and various levels of restoration services at our Workshop. All antique items sold are carefully preserved, cleaned and gently prepared at no extra charge according to the wishes of our buyers. We prefer to offer original ‘preserved’ cinema equipment antiques showing original patina and use from years of cinema production work. However, minor to full restoration is available at additional cost. All items sold and offered are presented as fairly and honestly as possible and we offer a limited return policy on most items sold. Please inquire about this return policy. We also offer a signed and sealed Certificate of Authenticity with all antique items sold. SHIPPING NOTE: If a shipping price is quoted here, it is completely GENERIC. PLEASE INQUIRE FOR AN EXACT QUOTE BASED ON YOUR SPECIFIC NEED AND LOCATION. NOTE Due to the nature of online photo reproduction we cannot be responsible for exact photographic color, hue, contrast and flash and non flash exposure accuracy in our photos. While we do our best to display photos that are as accurate as possible, our photos may or may not depict the absolute EXACT hue or color tone of our antiques due to the many variables in image photography, image exporting, image uploading and viewer monitor accuracy. Please ask about color tone and hue BEFORE buying, if this is a concern! Your inquiries are welcomed on this matter. NOTE: In the interest of antique presentation and historical accuracy, we do not alter or modify our electrical, optical, mechanical or electronic antiques, with the exception of some vintage light fixtures (which we DO correctly convert internally to modern electrical working household standards). Therefore some electrical and mechanical items MAY or may not perform and operate. We sell these as accurate display and collectible antique items. Your inquiries are welcomed on this matter. We are ALWAYS here to help and offer many options for the proper presentation of your cinema equipment antiques.  Thank You.
