Default Re: Strand 520i failure

Well we USED to have a Strand 430 as primary in the blackbox (also 2nd for the main auditorium, and we had a 200 as back up for the black box.)-- unfortunatly, one of our rather stupid-to-say-the-least techs decided to crush altoids on it. (He thought he could get high off altoids-- didn't work and he was coughing for days) Because of that we lost several sliders. Then the basic drama kids decided to neglect the shutdown procedure-- always. Then it crashed. Funny how the drama teacher who hadn't cared about what his classes were doing suddenly cared a lot when it crashed. "I tried to make them do it right, they just didn't listen" It's still on the floor in the light room-- quite sad.
