I'm actually going back tomorrow to hopefully show a couple of friends around so provided it's still as accessible I'll have a better look. It was weird not finding a projection room, I think it was a rear projection onto the screen. The basement is unfortunately flooded pretty much up to the floor of the main auditorium so no chance of finding goodies in there.

I saw some interesting looking equipment(?)behind where the screen would have been but it was too underexposed to make out.
Not sure if they even used rear screen protectors then. It's impractical for wide screen.
Multiple synced projectors?
Lol, I didn't wiki this, but know there was many different projection technologies used at various times/sites.
Be interesting what you find
If and what was left behind is a crap shoot. If it had a state of the art sound system for that era, be cool to capture some images if it's still there. The projection system may be far more intriguing.
Good luck
