Will they also shake?

We found some New Old Stock CD80 dimmers in a closet - they're on eBay now. Five sets available. Mhttps://www.ebay.com/itm/234646396750?hash=item36a203df4e:g:qSMAAOSwwDxi6q65

The Renkus-Heinz C-series is another good choice for your needs (both spec-and money-wise). Made in SoCal and currently shipping.

I've found that PVC primer removes most inks. So does Acetone, but it is super-flammable.

I've got nine (9!) CTs amps (all 12-15 years old) in for service right now, so I offer you this:1. Be careful with used PIP cards -- there was a TD from Harman about a known heat issue for all models of CTs amps that requires the replacement of several board-level components due to heat...

Perhaps not mis-quoting me in a snarky, non-education reply (" Wow, that's some news. Everybody in the install business you say?") would also be useful. Or, feel free to not reply to any of my posts if they're not to your liking, I'm fine either way. Have a super day!

OK, Uk is out too - and, apparantly, Penn Elcom is the only reseller for this connector and the back order is quite substantial. So, back to the drawing board. Thanks, everyone! M

Exactly. No different than, in my opinion, the vast majority of sound techs prefer XLR to 1/4" because it latches, video techs prefer BNC over HDMi/RCA because it latches, etc. M

Nope - I said "nearly everyone." You read "everybody," perhaps because you seem (from your tone) to have some bone to pick with me/the industry/my post/the world/I don't care.If it makes you happy, let me reiterate: I want that connector because I like latching connectors more than other types...

just about everyone in the installation business. And the owner of the company I work for (me). M

Thanks. I'm going to try and order them from PennElcom UK with international shipping and see what happens. Thanks, M

A latching connector is always preferred to screw-down or friction-mount. Thanks, M

They do not. The website allows you to order it, but then you get an email the next day that states "this is an England-only product, sorry." My Neutrik rep verified that fact, as well. So, back to the drawing board. Thanks, M

The odds of this work ever being inspected are nil, but we still like to use finished products (especially if certified/rated, although this one isn't) whenever possible. Plus, in this particular instance, we're cleaning up someone else's...

Thanks...turns out the precise thing I am looking for is a Neutrik NC5MDM3-H-PCB-RJ45, but it seems to be a UK-only part. So much for DMX being universal, lol. I've got a message in to Neutrik to find a US retailer. Thanks! m
