I see good condition B&M lamp sockets and Phillips lamps both without indications of a lamp/socket problem,. For this one. Onto the next for ballast and other questions into what's the cause of the problems.

Agreee with gafftaper on observation. Believe this is the part https://www.mcmaster.com/91375A576/ in specication standard for it.If you didn't get all the parts to the camp you should ask the seller about that part which should be included in not paying more for a crucial part. Return or...

Lamp Dousing is the term.Do the easy first in verifying the lamp and socket is not the problem. "Paul Rabinovitz" <[email protected]> is while owner also an amazing source for info, if his company bought the movers he might have info, also the Strong website might have info in recently a...

Look at the lamp sockets, more important the lamps replaced. Putting a perfectly good lamp into a bad socket won't make it work. Putting a good lamp into a semi-working lamp socket will make that lamp last on average 100 hours less each lamp until it stops working. You might have the lamp...

Welcome to the forum, back 30+ years ago I was in your place. What an adventure you have ahead. Atleast now you have somewhere to seek advice in a more broad sense than I had with text books and asking co-workers. Read books also - everything you can, and ask people you know in addition to...

This past year I was at the funural of a friend of mine and co-worker Ken Burns JR. Or JR as he was called in the touring industry. Tales similar the above mustard were also shared during it. Helps to humize and personalize such people we knew but didn't some about making them unique. I...

Wow! At some point your initial thoughts of breaking with the theater are more sensible than working for the school. Leave the plot that is there or a rep. plot. Sorry thing and there is probably other theater's in the area you can go to, but your help here could injure people it would seem...

On rant cencered...! Remember that this website is founded on helping high school technicians further on their career. Your message of concern was still put thru in worrisome for this and other shootings that have happened in the US.. Not political also as a concept for the website not...

Agreed with Steve or Steve direct call, or Paul from Strong when Strong.On capacitors if in question... they do not have polarity so either pole will work unless more than three or more wires, some needing to be in a combination. The wiring harness and wire length should also show how to...
