I hadn't seen this before, but was looking at the Altman 65Q and 165Q fresnels at PNTA today and noticed this:
Altman 6" Quartz Fresnel With CF & SC | Stage & Theatre Lighting Equipment & Supplies | PNTA
This fixture has always come with the medium pre focus socket, but it seems there are now other options.
The stock is still MPF medium pre-focus socket but now you can also specify:
MBP medium bi-post (Add $11.25)
G95 tp22 socket (Add $22.50)
HPL 120V socket (Add $22.50)
The 65Q has been around for a long time and is really a bargain as compared to the other options.
For the price on 1 Source 4 fresnel, you can almost buy 3 Altmans.
It would certainly help with control of replaement stock, fewer types of lamps to stock.
I do wonder if using a lamp designed for an axial ERS is really the best choice for a fresnel?
