Wow Teatronics. I can't believe that an established company would make a post like that on a public forum. You can't tell someone not to express their opinion about your company just because you find it disagreeable! DrPinto did not claim, "Oh, don't buy Teatronics products because they are...

OMG! THANK YOU! This was exactly what I was looking for. I can't believe someone actually knows how this thing should be wired. This has been a godsend.

Roaches?! Okay, maybe you do win the "scary things that can be found in a electrical pocket in a stage floor" contest... That is a pretty nice inventory for a stage of your size. Do you guys buy new lights every year, every other year, or whenever the board of ed. opens its pockets and gives you...

What lighting board do you typically rent? An ETC Element or Ion?Our stage floor has been sealed soooooo many times that any chance of opening the pockets in the stage floor is laughable. Years of dust and dirt and dead things is right.Our "inventory" literally consists, I kid you not, of...

Yep, you're exactly right. They're used with 3 EDI Scrimmerette II's. We're still using a EDI Trouping Control Console. Good to know the analog cable is really flexible in terms of needed specs. The exact way you suggested it be wired is what I believe to be the right way as well. (1-12...

Hi Everyone, I recently posted this thread: http://www.controlbooth.com/forums/lighting-electrics/30946-high-school-auditorium-old-lighting-system.html regarding my high school's lighting system. I am interested in making, as they can no longer be purchased, 15 pin cinch-jones cables to...

Les - delete some of your personal messages. I can't send you one because your box is full -Connor

Wow, it sounds like you have it as bad as us, just differently. We don't have very much to begin with, so there isn't that much that can break. But you guys seem to have a lot that needs to be done. Best of luck with it in the future. Renting a dimmer seems like a really good idea in your...

Thanks for the crash course in school district politics, lol. (no sarcasm intended) I was planning on compiling a report, listing the state of everything in the theatre and all possible problems (asbestos, cracked cable, fire retardantcy, etc.) and presenting it to the board. Hopefully safety...

I'm glad analog isn't very picky; it should make my job much easier.Alan will certainly be getting a call in the very near future. I would like to hear his opinion of what could/should be done to this system to give it a little rehab. Our board DOES have rotary potentiometers for timers, but I...

Haha, Thanks for the compliment! Your suggestions were exactly what I was looking for. I know EDI went under some years ago, so it's great that you were able to refer me to a former engineer. And thanks for the heads up about the wealth of knowledge he'll be able to provide ;)An entirely new...

The tech table that we would set up would be temporary; we would only be putting it up for shows (2 per year). Cheap conduit would be a consideration, but not a big concern. But the electrician would most likely have caught that right away.

Hello Everyone, I'm a senior at a high school in northern New Jersey with a sad excuse of an auditorium, let alone theatre. There is no one officially in charge of the space; the closest would be the very overworked and underpaid janitors who can set up a few mics for an event. I have been...
