It was likely sold more than 20 years ago, since you're replying to a
post from 1998.

That said, much as I have hated Techniscope, I have to say that it's not a
bad choice these days when all your post is being done digitally anyway. There's no need to optically print it anymore, and of course since nobody screens film dailies or edits film workprints, the need for weird projection and editing gear is no longer the issue that it was.

Using the 35mm half-frame Techniscope system cuts film stock costs in half while doubling the amount of exposed footage per film roll. With this type
of professional equipment, a producer can shoot productions and gain considerable savings at both the production and post-production stages. Furthermore, producers can choose to originate on a full array of 35mm color-negative emulsions and then to edit electronically (or
conventionally) in full or half-frame mode. For film or video
distribution, output can be ordered in any aspect ration, including
1.33:1, 1.66:l, 1.85:1, 2.35:1 Cinemascope and HDTV. For more information and sale price;

Sincerely,

P.S. Serious inquiries please.
