Moving Picture World (Jan-Feb 1927)

January 1, 1927 MOVING PICTURE WORLD 77 J. H. Hallberg Provides (<Service Station” for His Many Products Mr. J. H. Hallberg of 29 West Fiftyseventh street, New York, advises that he has inaugurated a department for advice and service to those using Hallberg Motor Generators, Economizers, Projectors and other specialties, through which information and service can be obtained. Some exhibitors have been made to believe (in view of the fact that Mr. Hallberg leased the rights for the sale of his specialties to the United Theatre Equipment Corporation, new out of business) that it would be impossible to secure repair parts for these machines. Mr. Hallberg also says that many of his Motor Generators are so designed and constructed that they may be used to good advantage for the operation of the new, socalled, Low Intensity and Reflector Arc Lamps. The method for using the Hallberg Motor Generator for such lamps will be described upon request, providing the serial number and other specifications, together with the make of the lamp contemplated to be used with it, are given. He also states that it is possible to rewind the generator part of the Motor Generators at comparatively low cost for the Reflector type Arc Lamps and that when so rewound they become quite efficient, although not as efficient as the later Hallberg Motor Generators specially designed for Reflector Arcs, but they may at least be used to good advantage for emergency purpose after remodeling. Ball Bearings, Brushes, Field Rheostats, Starting Boxes and Instruments for any of the old type Hallberg Generators, no matter when made, can be had promptly from stock.
