I recall the light on the giant Ashcrafts (Core-Lite and Super Cinex) and 5,000 w xenon was definately a better light. Too many drive-ins use small xenons of 2 - 3k. You will always go backwards compared to big carbons with those. Thanks for watching.

XENNON LIGHT IS OK...BUT IN BRIGHT MOONLIGHT THE THE PICTURE IS AWFULL, THEN YOU HAVE TO USE GOOD OLD FASHIONED CARBON.

Doubtful.  Most movies are made in 35mm today. I think 70 mm might be for Imax.

Well.. how cool is this?? Thanks! Now I'm wondering very seriously if we even have any 70 mm projectors in any drive-in, anymore, in the United States.
