Alan Gouger's movie inventory

[AVSLaurie]

I know this doesn't really pertain to Blu-Rays; but someone might want to grill Alan about his MASSIVE film inventory. I have seen the George Eastman archives, and Alan could give them a run for their money; it's really quite amazing what he has amassed over the years in addition to the projectors to view them.  
I think he keeps them in a secret bunker ...

We need some pictures! I know I ran out of storage room for my collection and just thinned the herd into two big bins and am storing those in a closet. I've converted 100% of my collection to MKV files and I've used up about 100TB worth of storage doing it. I'll need to purchase another 24TB disc in the coming months since I'm down to about 12TB of storage now. Yes, I have issues  and it sounds like Alan has the same!

Hello, I hate to give away my age, I was bitten by the bug decades ago. Believe it or not collecting film is a thriving hobby. Its actually huge over seas.
Back in high school we thought the guy running the 16mm film projector was a nerd, now Im that guy:)
The three most popular gages are 35, 16 and S8. Collecting 35 takes up a lot of room and its heavy and labor intense
but the PQ rivels the best 4kBD. 16MM can look just as good as 35 and there are some titles on Super 8mm that are amazing in PQ quality.
Anyone else on the forum collect film or run an old family projector once in a while?

Ha - like others, I think I missed initially that Laurie literally did mean "FILM", as in reels not silly silver discs. 

That's WAY more impressive and we really need photos!

Curious, what do you do for sound out of the projector? 

I was one of those A/V high school geeks that set up projectors from time to time and edited some of my own projects in film school but never had a projector at home.  Sounds like it would be fun to watch older films that way.

I created a drop in LED module to replace the age old UHP incandescent lamp.
LED brings new life to film projectors. The advantages are many, proper color temperature, D55k
Up to 3 times the light output, 2500 lumens, little to no heat, superior focus and brightness across the screen. Here are a few pictures. This module is for a S8 film projectors. These are also scaled for 35mm.
