    Replacement lamp for scoop - 750w

    Sorry if redundant - I looked for this, but couldn't find the info.I'm trying to find replacement lamps for a scoop fixture - 750w 120v. Pics attached of a dead Sylvania. (Sorry for the 2nd pic of the BTL - in the background is the lamp in question. Since it's the only pic showing the base, I...

    EDI Scrimmer II dimmer pack repair?

    I pulled the card and didn't see any obvious smoke trails - tho I wouldn't swear I knew exactly what a burned out tantalum (capacitor, I assume?) looks like. Thanks for another area to check. dkh

    EDI Scrimmer II dimmer pack repair?

    btw - I'm just going by the diagram here, where #4 indicates a "thermal sensor" - but maybe that doesn't feed into the OT sensor of the entire rack.

    EDI Scrimmer II dimmer pack repair?

    This is a great suggestion - I'm not hearing any fan spinning, so maybe it just needs a "gentle" shove!

    EDI Scrimmer II dimmer pack repair?

    Comes on immediately. The unit hasn't been powered for years.Not sure what you mean by "master disconnect opened"?

    EDI Scrimmer II dimmer pack repair?

    Right you are. And thanks for the links to the manuals - I found those, too. Very helpful.OT condition remains with no MUX/console connected. I'm asking the teacher to remove/reseat all dimmer modules to see what that does. It's not clear to me from the manual, but I assume the dimmer pack...

    EDI Scrimmer II dimmer pack repair?

    I'm working with a school in NYC that has an EDI Scrimmer II dimmer pack with 24 2k dimmers. The Overtemp light on the controller card is lit and so it is not working. This is the state when it is just powered on after having been off for years, probably.So, if the overtemp light isn't lit...

    Loudspeakers Speakon jack - is it amped or not

    I'm helping a school with their auditorium sound where it looks like they've had at least 3 layers of sound equipment installs overlapping each other. XLR jacks in the wall have been taped over because, I was told, their wires had been commandeered for some hanging choir mics; there are Bose...

    Strand NEO Compact 10 can't gain control of lights

    If I ever get back to this school - or entice one of the teachers to experiment with me over the phone - I'll update this thread. I'm now in regular contact with Jeff & Luis at Strand/Signify, who have been very helpful. I think I now understand what plugs into what and how things are supposed...

    Strand NEO Compact 10 can't gain control of lights

    Pictures - as requested. The NEO Compact 10 is plugged into the other DMX IN box (not pictured). The a21 doesn't seem to register that fact, but the Pathway eDIN box, where the circuit boards are housed, seems to. The setting on the Compact 10 that gave me control (as long as the architectural...

    Strand NEO Compact 10 can't gain control of lights

    DMX output 1 on rear of console.Further to what equipment is in the mix - there's a panel next to the a21 - one of the DMX jacks feeds into it - when I open it, there are some circuit boards that say "DMX splitter" with 4 outputs that I assume send the DMX signal to the various pipes where the...

    Strand NEO Compact 10 can't gain control of lights

    Been there, done that - it doesn't apply to the Compact 10 at all - it's all about their high-end console.
