I really need ....

...a wired RFU for an Express 250. Anyone have one laying around they would like to sell?

Have you considered a West Side Systems FocusPhone™ ?

[mstutzman]

Yeah, Ive never been really fond of them. Thanks though.

I haven't looked at the price on RFU's for ETC these days but it seems to me wouldn't the price point be about even with your focusphone?

I would seriously look into the ETC wireless RFU setup. I purchased mine thru Fullcompass - ETC/Elec Theatre Controls RRFU Radio Remote Focus Unit | Full Compass

Pricey, but the thing is built like a tank and has worked flawlessly.

I am sure they are out there, however as you probably know, those things don't tend to live all that long. I don't see one on solaris. You might want to give lightparts a ring, they can find things. Otherwise, focus phone might be a good option.

I'll keep my eye out though. I was looking for one a few months back and could not find one.

Thanks for the assist everyone.

Its for a small studio space, wireless would be too much, I figured if the wired units were still kicking around I might be able to fid one for a song.

I came across one on ebay ETC Lighing Console Remote Focus Unit RFU2-EXPN DMX - eBay (item 280382550463 end time Aug-14-09 11:09:13 PDT)

not mine.

[mstutzman]

Thats awesome! TY

[mstutzman]

Ergh...AutoBidders! Closed at $102.00 worth it but too rich for my blood.

[derekleffew]

I see the auction as having closed at $204.49. Perhaps TupeloTechie should have private messaged mstutzman instead.

[TupeloTechie]

oops.. sorry, I was just trying to help. I guess I'll just go back to lurking now

[derekleffew]

But you did help, Tupe; just the wrong person. I suspect you "helped" the seller get far more than he might have otherwise.

For $50, I would have considered buying it, just to resell to someone who needed it. Still a good deal at $200, though, as long as it's operational.

[mstutzman]

Ha! I suspected I was bidding with other people on this board. Its all good. I was trying to pick it up for a song. I was gonna pay for it as a tool out of pocket. Had I hit up the company for some money I could have bid higher.
