    aRFR & iRFR fun...

    One thing I have noticed. The device your using has it's own IP address. Sometimes my android phone will have same address as the IPad. And they will kick each other off the network. I can't change the IP on my android but I can on the IPad

    Deep Blue

    I think L200 makes a very nice top/backlight It's not too dark but still looks like night and won't burn out as fast Plus it has enough transmission that the talent are well lit. It can be very striking without ever looking too dark even at low levels.

    Lighting a fire...under my Le Maitre G300

    Fill an empty fog fluid bottle with distilled water and use that in conjunction with air if your unit uses it... Couldn't remember off hand if the G300 had air assist but helps push the crap through if it does....Run the whole bottle threw, if it's a really old machine you may need a fine...

    Lighting a fire...under my Le Maitre G300

    1st place I would start if you haven't already would be to flush the system with distilled water and make sure the heat exchanger is not so gummed up it just cant reach optimum temp.
