Vintage Arc Light Film Projectors

[lstecklein]

Hi, I am new to this board, but have been an active in photography for about 10 years. I recently picked up some arc light projectors, stands, reels and rectifiers from an old theater that was being demolished. Since I have only been in the still photo world, I am hoping for ideas on where I could sell these. These are really some of the neatest looking projectors I have seen, and would love to see a piece of American History live on.

Here is a list of what I have..

Carbon Arc Lamp Houses:
1. Brenkert Enarc Model N
2. Brenkert Enarc Model N - missing mirror reflector
3. Ashcraft Suprex Type D - cracked mirror reflector
4. Ashcraft Suprex Type D - missing mirror reflector


Projectors:
1. Simplex with reels and Royal Sound
Master
2. Wenzel Ace Pro 4 with reels - Broken
bracket for top reel
Recifiers:
Two Mogul 6 Lamp Rectifiers - have all
bulbs, not sure if they are all in working
order
Stands:
2 heavy duty stands

Sounds pretty cool, I collect and use vintage cameras but don't know much about movie equipment - there was just a thread about it recently.

The only thing that comes to mind is the Eastman House in Rochester does some film restoration and has a museum. On TCM they do Silent Sundays which start at midnight (I usually end up recording it) but I can't remember offhand where else old films are being restored or if anyplace has a museum or displays vintage film/move equipment that might be interested.

Maybe try listing in something like Collectors Weekly or any other antique and collectibles marketplace sites? Or if there are any historic movie theaters that might want it to display?
