Sorry for your loss in the industry but crap is crap and at times especially when older in hoping for a new home perhaps isn't as easy as other paths. A shame, did you check out other local or harder to do remote places to go? I know that would be hard for me to my own skillset, and in my...

A lot of tech people I work with disliked that line of fixture. I'm sure others can chime in on the reasons. It had issues in growing up like all fixtures, but certainly not as many as others of the same age or after. I think if after timely ballast replacement and various upgrades, care to...

I have years and thousands of lamps experience on that fixture type. And I am talking thousands of lamps on that fixture type worth of experience. Yes, verified, I can tell lamp failure cause and or within 100 hours how long that lamp was in use normally. That level of experience with a...

At some point... if you see a replacement, given the usage - take it. For display purposes this will not matter and perhaps be beyond sufficient in audience

Thanks for the trip down memory lane all above. Been years and forgot about me running them years ago. Spot Dot's are where I work, out of style and have not been requested in years. Teleroid sites are more often requested. Sorry no link or idea of why.

A project manager came over to me today to borrow wrenches. Moving lights installed the clamps with an impact driver and they were not movable even with fiber washers between clamps. A fiber washer is a fiber washer which ensures tension of bolt but kind of a frictionless washer to allow some...

that's an alien term to me.... New QOTD!Was the above 7/16" wrench defination as to a flat head screw in sizing entertaining for anyone, as for my department? Ah' I get it.

Ah' thanks for the reminder. Time is indeed up.For some reason it's common to define a bolt in various un-educated ways.So... 7/16-20 x 1.1/4" SHFH screw labeled bin - for storage of those bolts. SHFH means (hex) socket head the driver as opposed to something like phillips head...

Tim, I see your point and have even run into some like.... this was supposed to be Digital LED tape.... Nobody ever brought that up to me, nor was it in my documents for quote or email chain... even video confrences with the entire design team where later I was taken off camera at one point...

I remember similar, but I think the actual stage floor is obsolete now. I also wonder what's going on with sprung floors these days.

So curious given I no longer work a stage but have done many... What's the best plan, or is there a coating that could be put on it?

Is 1/4" MDO available? Step up to 1/2" MDO in throwing out an idea. What surfaced materials are road cases made from? More expensive but a few more moppings lasting?Tempered Hardboard, is it still even available as opposed to just hardboard? Gears clicking in not up to the most modern...

Jay T figured it out. No doubt he has run into this similar problem of bolts requested before. It's a semi-common bolt question seemingly in often for me.Bin was believed to come from the LED dpt. they have their own stashes of bolts or do dump and run's on the shop bolt wall in either...

I am amazed that E-Bay has none and RoseBrand has none. https://r.search.yahoo.com/_ylt=AwrNZ5z9wjFmUWYIZ7gPxQt.;_ylu=Y29sbwNiZjEEcG9zAzEEdnRpZAMEc2VjA3Ny/RV=2/RE=1714566013/RO=10/RU=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P47aXTDdib8/RK=2/RS=.A7Vn0npp50SVBq3qr0zPHkNkMo- Best I could find in... that's...
