I lived beside and grew up, right next door to the "Thunderbird Drive-In Theater and it left me with some of my best childhood memories!
I was in the position to get alot of the theater's stuff, before they demonstrationed it! This piece was large, at least 75 or more pound's. Can't Find No INFORMATION on it or the GoldE Company. It was for reel to reel transfer for the film to get it in the correct direction for splicing it into to right order before playing the movie. Any Help would be great! Thanks guy's
Listed below one of their rewinders was a Model H in 1937.
The GoldE Manufacturing Co of Chicago Illinois was a company that existed between 1920-1958 that manufactured projectors, both film and slide, and theatre equipment (lighting and such). At some point in their history they were located at 1220-C West Madison St in Chicago. That address appears to now belong to a travel agency.
