A large, late 1950s civic theater is embarking on a maintenance program. Some of that requires the replacement or refurbishment of stage floor pocket covers and i wonder if anyone has a source (or contact) with someone who does. Sought, are pocket covers in good condition like the one pictured.
Younger readers might not be aware of how well used these used to be and because they are less used now, i’m thinking there may be a shopping cart full of them in some theater basement somewhere.
Similarly, this theater had a few shopping carts full of glass rondels in three colors and i found only one use for them—an artist who had stumbled across the existence of such things and was using them to make coffee tables. Very nice, they were.
These floor pockets might be upgraded to include modern cable type terminals. but the floor plates come first—as many as 8 of them, but probably fewer.
