Well, i know i have squired something here but not sure exactly what.
Yeah its a screen,but
A work colleague who knows someone who knows a London firm that has now ceased trading, before they did THREE very huge screens were passed on. I have been given one, all new in the box,
I really do not know where to start with this, the original receipt for all three is here and this one,(100 inch) is the baby of the thre, the price in 2006 for the three?????
£8400. Eight thousand four hundred.
Can anyone on here tell me anything about these please before i decide what to do with them. Insane, why couldnt i aquire a film collection

What is it Tom, manual or electric?

I take it it's tab tensioned at that price range?

This one i think is manual the others are,(i think) electric, i'll upload the two page instruction. I couldn't believe the price tag!

The scilly thing is, these days you can buy a large electric screen for a small amount of money, i have an idea these are for professional use,

Draper were not renowned as being some of the most expensive screen manufacturers either!
I think this may have been a corporate sale initially.

From the instructions above it appears to be a permanent install screen. Not retractable once built from what I can gather.

What ratio is it?

I'm almost positive on that mate looking at the prices,
Here is the other page, full size scan to click on.


Back to work now,
Back laters.

Do you know what ratio this screen is in yet Tom?

BTW
Stuart here, who is currently building himself a dedicated home cinema, has expressed an interest in one of these Tom over on the other forum, just in case you weren't aware.

From Stuart's research, it transpires these are a permanent set up screen so are really only of use to those who do have a dedicated Cinema room.

Tom Draper are an American firm specializing in all types of screens,electric,permanent,and corporate usage. I would say you have one of there older permanent screens that you either fix to never move or one that can be used on large "feet" and can be moved around in say a coference room.
whatever one you have its most likely to be big,but you maybe able to adapt the parts,especially the screen material for your own use.
www.draperinc.com will give you a lot of info.
hope you find a good use for it

Cheers Gwyn, they are very big, the smallest is 100 inches, i will find out what the others are tomorrow. To be honest i dont particularly want them around the house due to there weight and size. they are certainly top quality items. I will definatly use one of them to make a new widescreen but will have to see what to do with the others if i take them.
I know there's a couple of chaps interested but trying to pack these for carriage will be a logistical nightmare for me. I had to use a works Vivaro van to get it home.

Good luck there Tom,only a thought but see if there is any interest on here,buyer collects maybe someone will take you up on them,even if its just the screen material

I will definatly do that Gwyn.
