[Frameworks] "Complete Plant Liquidation of Deluxe La boratories, Inc.’s. Hollywood Film Process ing Facility. One of the World’s Largest Film Processing and Facilities"

[Sean Weitzel]

each other. My friends got some cool things like power rewind and
inspection stations and ultrasonic splicers and what not. The really big
stuff kind of had a limited audience as the auctions had a rule that
anything over 100 lbs in weight had to be removed by a licensed insured
movers/installers.
