Default Re: Altman 1kl6 parts

Thanks Ship! My problem is that my lights came without any shutters installed, so I'll be starting from scratch. But I'll call Altman and see what they suggest. I'm sure there is a light out there that uses a similar shutter blade.
On another note, I was surprised to see the condition of the shutters in the 360Q's I was just given. These must have been some seriously misused instruments. Because while 3 shutters may look fine and repairable, the adjacent shutter has a hole burned right through the middle of it! More than one light is like this! Someone needs to learn how to properly focus/shutter/bench ellipsoidals! My concern is that now they have new Source Fours to destroy :[

On another note, I just opened up one of my zooms to find that the reflector is cracked in half. Still looks usable, with no huge gap, but sucks none the less. Another fixture has a hairline crack down one side.

Oh well, at least it was free. I won't let that rain on my parade.
