Looks good to me Just a bleed resistor across the capacitor should solve the glowing lights 100-200 ohm 2W would be fine they are firing at a fairly low current and the bleed from the dimmer would also be fairly low current the resistor would bleed off enough that the voltage would be below...

Thanks for the replies this confirms pretty much what I thought. I had a minor blowup with the production team and director of an upcomming show regarding shots of the crew. I finnaly aggreed to a group shot but with deep reservation.time for a policy meeting! yuk I hate these.

When doing plays, does your theatre take headshots of participants for in the lobby? Who do you include? is there a recognized standard or guideline? Colour or Black and white?One of my many hats at our theatre is Photographer. We are well established community theatre that puts on 6 plays...

if they dont have halogen bulbs there are halogen eqivelent bulbs just google the bulb types you have and you will find that they are redilly available they should be significantly brighter than the the old incandescent bulbsEHG BULB 750W 120V HALOGEN - ANSI EHGDTA BULB 1500W 120V T8...

Thanks museav you sure raised my interest your input as always is of great help. the models you posted look intriguing I will do more research but they seem to be a little rich for my budget. At this point I am working on a proposal for speakers for the house as well as onstage. so there is...

often there is a radio, gramophone, TV, or some other device used as a working prop in a show that needs to have sound come from it, or at least sound like its coming from it. Our house is intimate so speaker placement is important.We used to have a bunch of Radio Shack Minimus 7 speakers...

there are many variables here first there are some players that just cant handle DVD R media either -r or +r More players can handle -R media than play +R media If memory serves it about 96% of the consumer players can play -R and only 87% play +R the quality of the burner has...

we thought about the vehicle ramps but the problem is most are to short. the idea of using Chanel iron was to keep the wheels in the channel kind of like a railway upside down. and we could make them to the needed length.I will let you know how it works out. the rails are being made this...

Footer you may be so correct and it will all end in tears, but I hope not. I have high hopes for the rail system. since we only do 7 or 8 shows a year we will only need to setup and take down the rig 8 times a year set up after the show closes and take it down three weeks later when...

Sorry that I have not posted the pic yet but I didn't have the camera handy when I was there.we did get it into position for training with the help of half a dozen people to get the Ginie up the steps.but here is the long term solution.we are going to purchase two pieces of 3 inch...

Ill have to go in tonight and take a picture. I was thinking of using a plate or two pieces of chanel that is wide enough for the wheels on the Gini. once the ginie was on the straddle and raised it would lift out of the channels and be free. then we'd put the channels aside untill dismantle...

Ok so the trainer is coming on thursday for the Ginie Liftwe have an AWP25 Gini lift with super straddle and we are about to get trained on its use.the guy from Gini wants us to have it set up when he comes ( I thought this was part of the training but I guess not.) the set up is...

Ok so it seems that there is some argument as to why its only intermittent. first off the station that is interfering is not likely to be fluctuating in power unless it is making pattern changes throughout the day but that is not normal for small stations nor for FM. usually only for AM...

Ok so the EMI/RFI problem is in the speaker amp before putting it into a copper box try thisPut a ferrite around the power cord where it enters the amp looping it a few times if possible. Also put some around the speaker leads if they are visible keeping them closest to the amp itself...

I was going to use them on some permenently installed cables running from the booth to various locations so that they could be used either way and not have to pull them and turn them around every time someone wanted to use the cable the other way never thought about the 1/4 inch adapter I...
