Not sure why I am surprised at my own name at the start of the video.
This is an old cinema sound control panel from probably the 50s. It's likely the preamplification for the optical film sound though it's hard to know for sure without properly looking through it.
I have no idea why optical is listed under the multi track side as even stereo optical sound was years away at this point.

I have seen this called Digital Experience before but the sticker and marker in the leader clearly states the name for this trailer is DTS: Stand Alone.
Brand spanking new print, never even had the heads or tails removed. Likely delivered to the theatre as part of the installation package.
Ironically, this is the analog soundtrack. It is encoded in SR but presented here without, still sounds pretty good.")

A bit of a scratched up warped mess and it absolutely stinks but made it through the scanner ok.")

The first 3 and a half minutes of theatrical short about United States Customs Service. Safety stock.
Well this is it folks, this is the last piece of film from the 4 reels of (mostly) nitrate film I was given to scan in. Thanks for watching and I hope you enjoyed seeing all of the different bits and pieces.")

I have a few of these filler pieces from the 10 minute clock. This is the clouds section. In some other uploads online the sequencing is slightly different and the music used in my version is playing over the coastal scenes in other prints.
Ive pulled the red channel down about 25% to compensate for some slight fade.
The track is Discolation by Midas Touch, from the Programme Music library album PM019 Medium - Rare. I actually really like this song.")
![Pepsi - Son Of A Gun (Have A Pepsi Day Version) [35mm]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/_8LQ4G29Tig/hqdefault.jpg "Pepsi - Son Of A Gun (Have A Pepsi Day Version) [35mm]
Never seen this intermission with the Have a Pepsi Day music before. Unfortunately this print had sprocket tooth scratches through the entire soundtrack so I could only use one of the duplicated waveforms so this will be noisier than the usual 35mm mono track. Its also severely faded which I have tried to reduce somewhat to make it more watchable.")

Portion of cartoon, about 10% including fragments of title and end cards. Interestingly this does not appear to be the correct title card music for this cartoon, at least not the original version.
Two-strip Cinecolor print with characteristic soundtrack on the blue record. Single bilateral variable area soundtrack.
Also worthy of note in this version are the BH perforations exhibiting the classic tearing at the sharp corners.
Cartoon was renamed Chinese Lanterns during WWII.")

Exactly what it says.")
