such a shame that they have been left to the (what looks like) vandals!!

dont think so, most setups like these would only use about 100 amps (rectified)

not so comfortable but still look ok

as a projectionist of the old school(20 Min reels, carbon arc's and log hours in the semi dark I rekon its a pity about these beauties, bird crap and no use for some while could mean that they may never work again, which is a pity. as the scene could well be damp and that wont help!! (its in the blood)
