They were also available as 5° and 10° degree models and at least a 25-50° zoom model. I have spent the past five years sharing roughly 350 of the newer model Strand Leko series between three performance spaces. One of the largest issues that I had with these lights were the shutters becoming...

Thanks all. I just figured my light would be cool and have a lamp counter. Well I guess it is time to break out my trusty TI-89 to do my math.

Howdy, I have two Lyian 1266 followspots with the analogue hour meters, roughly ten years old. I have just replaced the lamps in both spots but for the life of me, cannot figure out how to reset the meters. This is the first time in three years that either lamp has been changed, to show how...

Hello, My school is doing Oliver in a couple of weeks and we are looking for a nice London backdrop rental that includes Big Ben. The size we need is a minimum of 20' x 40'. If you have seen any, or have rented any nice drops, please let me know. One drop that we liked was at Grosh...

Hello I am looking for the following used equipment: 2 50’ multi-core cable 2 stage pin break-ins 2 stage pin break-outs I am at a loss of places to contact for such things. If you have any ideas were I should look, I would greatly appreiciate it. Thanks, Jeremy

Our solution, to be installed next week, is to replace all three of our TOA processors with two DBX DriveRack 260s. It fits our needs in both features and input/outputs. Our remaining working processors will become spares for our Recital Hall. Thanks all for your help.Jeremy

Let me clarify my termed balcony speakers. They are used to fill our balc, not under. Our overhang is only like five rows of seats. The house seats 520, with 320 on the floor and 200 in the balc. The house is taller than it is deep, i believe. With that said, i think it could be the same...

Ok, so here is the setup, to the best of my ability. I am a lighting guy first, but am the only one with any clue as to how the system is set up, (staff and faculty included). I will verify with the schematic on monday. I belive the speaker componets are EV and the amps are Crest. The...

In my recent check up on my audio equipment, i found that one of my TOA processors has gone on the fritz. Something about overloading, it muted all of the output channels, and appears to power cycle. I declare it dead and do not wish for it to be repaired, but that raises the question of what...

An image is worth a thousand words, so here is one. http://svsu.edu/~jmsinick/plates.jpg Many things can be learned from this image. One is that the spreader plates kept the 500lbs over pipe weight on the arbor as it crashed down. And, two on our system, we have marks on the arbors where...

Well, so far that is all that I have found that solves my problem. I need to project a gobo on the rear of a cyc but I only have a throw distance of 12 feet, and i need the largest diameter i can obtain. I can not do a front projection because there is a 3D cave portal in front of the cyc and...

Hello I am looking for a good and cheap place to rent a Selecon Pacific 90 degree ellipsoidal or something similar. I am located in Michigan and looking for something possible within a short drive, as to not pay shipping costs. If you have had a great expierence with a particular rental...

That appears to be the same picture that is on the Telrad web site: http://www.company7.com/telrad/products/telrad.html It even says: "The Telrad is a one power (1X) sight designed for use on astronomical (or nocturnal terrestrial) telescopes; it is not really designed for daytime use...

I did not realize that they made one specifically for stage. That said, does anyone know the difference between the Telrad for stage and for telescopes? Overall they work well. If you focus the scope on your spot dead center on the stage you should have pretty good accuracy. As you...

For long throw operations, I like a product called Telrad. When properly gaffed down it is very effective. I use it quite often on my Lycian Super Trooper 2k spot light (it is very huge and is operated from the side). They go for about $43 (search froogle.google.com) with shipping and are...
