    Motor load limits and other rigging...

    JBKC21, I applaud your humility, instincts and vigilance. And I thank you for it. Kansas City does not want another tragedy like a skywalk collapse to grieve over. Nor do we want to be thankful that nobody was in the arena when the roof collapsed. Keep thinking like a detective!

    Control/Dimming Simple lighting question...help!? Limited resources...

    When I have one or two shoebox dimmers that need simple DMX up / down control I use this. It might save unhappy camper damage to a laptop.

    Based on images posted earlier, he's 4 blocks North of me in a VERY popular outdoor venue. I often stroll through it during lunch. EDIT: typo

    Wanna be a stagehand? Four days and $1299!

    Good hosts are tough to find. Several years ago a big name rock band filmed a reunion type of show in their home town. The enjoyable concert video premiered within the local PBS affiliate pledge drive. The concert was enjoyable but the in-studio pledge pitches were nothing short of offal. One...

    Chandeliers. Household... Chandeliers? How do?

    Another Wago Lever Nut benefit is its graceful handling of multiple wire sizes. Got a ceiling fan or fixture where you need to join two solid #12 and one stranded #18? Each goes into its own lever locked sleeve. No need to worry about the stranded #18 slipping out of the twist. MUCH less...

    Amplifier using multiple inputs

    Maybe a pair of stick ons in the rack to mix the mixers?

    Lighting pigtail problems

    Maybe a broom rack? It could be mounted to a 1x4 ubolted or conduit strapped to the bars. So long as the clips don't take a bite out of the cables...

    Assistive Listening Systems

    Thank you Ron, I certainly will keep you updated. I enjoyed the description of the chamber and I was especially pleased to read that it was funded by Oticon. I've pretty much selected the Oticon Ponto system if I can't get successful reconstructive surgery. Your description of the semi anechoic...

    Assistive Listening Systems

    I have nothing but good things to say Listen support. They tried everything on our LT800. But since 2007 I haven't been able to find a reliable channel in our old location or our new location. We have LR-300-072 receivers. I wish I had been able to get the more expensive receivers with channel...

    High-Shine black flooring

    Mr. Hebbard, TLDR can never apply to you. Never a wasted word. Never a grim read. Thank you for ALL of your exquisitely written details.

    High-Shine black flooring

    Yep the Pretty Girl is like a Melody number is beyond amazing. It is a chapter in the history of coordination. I suppose Fred & Ginger hoofed and tapped it out on Battleship Linoleum then?

    High-Shine black flooring

    Now I'm curious, how thick was it? Was it the weight that kept seams smooth? Edges could never curl up on a sheet that massive?

    Sennheiser ew

    I bet the administration would tow a vehicle left in a fire lane on the campus. Same thing isn't it, interfering with the delivery of emergency services? What if it was YOUR heart atack?
