it has a metal frame that you screw to the wall .. it has snaps on it and the screen snaps to the frame ... so you need a dedicated wall .. and that has to be about 6' X 10'
they got rid of it at work .. the thing's worth a fortune - really great material ... but i'll never be able to use it ..

i have an 8' pull-down .. got it for free when the place i work upgraded to an automatic model ..


by the way .. the great race - disk 2 - was in the machine when the laserdisc player i just spent $400 on died.

i'll extract it and switch to a working player ..

i'm not happy.. :(

6 X 10 is a bit too much....sucks about your new machine...its still under the warranty i imagine.






the great race......DAMN........don't hold it against me;)

its not under warrenty but it was just professionally fixed for the same problem so it's getting fixed again for free ,,,

it'll be interesting to see if you notice a difference in quality between the 1st disc and the 2nd ..

the fixed wall bit sucks too ... it's better to get a pull-down - that way you still have the wall to put stuff ...


the screen was custom built for the place i worked - they had a few of them on a huge wall where work related info was projected.

you should have seen the projectors .. they were the size of jet skis - i'm not kidding. i could have gotten one of those too but where the hell was i going to put it ? it would have torn down the ceiling ..

I plan on getting a pull down. Just gonna use it for concerts and movies. I still have a fine 36 inch Sony Wega for T.V.

Not to mention the other 5 T.V.s scattered around the house.

one thing to consider ... although it may not matter to you ..

is that my screen pulls down in front of all of my audio-visual stuff .. so it blocks my remote ..

dont know if you'll be in the same position but it's something to consider

Now I am surprised you didn't grab one of those. You could have put on an addition.:D

screw that ... imagine getting the bastard home (with the help of 4 - 5 friends) and the thing doesnt work, or lasts for 2 weeks ..

i wasnt kidding - i could sit on it like a snow mobile..

it was the same model they used to use in arenas to project stuff before they had those giant tv screens (or composite screens)

i know it's sacrelidge to say here - but i hate popcorn..


re the screen - until you can get the exact one you want ..

i used to use the back of an old school map ..

if you know someone who teaches or works in a school - ask around ... sometimes they change these things out and just dump them ..

Actuall, my son works at a Blockbuster Video store and he gets some BIG ASS posters. I was thinking of using the back of one of these until i get a proper screen.



not too big on popcorn myself.....it gets stuck in the back of my throat....very annoying....more of a peanut kinda guy.
