East coast movie - wants to rent old computers

[Paxton Hoag]

I rented lots of equipment to movie people when I had my warehouse in
Portland.

A BIIN even made it into a Science Fiction movie. They painted ihe case,
which was slated for destruction by contract, black.

They also dropped a copier and broke it, paying me $1500 instead of the $100
which was the rental.

I also supplied IBM terminals for a movie on the first bombing of the twin
towers.

It is always fun but make sure that you cover the what ifs of damage and or
loss. Generally movie people are quite good about keeping things safe. I
really enjoyed renting to them. I recommend it.
