well this is weird... but I found the problem and I'm going to fix it!

Thanks everyone! I'll double check the power supply ASAP!

Title says it all. I started programming in a new theatre this week, went to save and after it saved the board shut down and turned back on. I assumed it was a bad head on the floppy so I got a new disk and ran into the same issue on my 3rd attempt to save.Power supply to the board checks...

just got some custom curtains in. the tag on each piece says the typical what-what, but under "flame rating" it reads "1FR"what does this stand for?

Hey CB, I'm usually so good when it comes to up keep of equipment but my shinning record was destroyed when a few of my Par16 Birdie fixtures came back to shop w/out their adjustment knobs. They were all completely removed from the yoke and not a single person on staff has any idea on the...

I'm running a year round outdoor event that requires a number of fixtures to be masked with fabric drops. However the sun is turning our black masking white. Is there any sort of protective spray for UV? any advice is helpful. Thanks CB.

I'm looking to add 2 flash & smoke entrance and a small spark/flame shooting effect to a production. My producers want me (the TD) to rig them myself but I have no experience with such effects. What are the steps I would need to take to do this safely, legally, and affectively? I'm leaning...

That made me laugh out loud... "FREE TOP HATS!!!" :lol:"Hey we're out of top hats, what should we do?" "Oh just grab a scroller."if it works, it works.

300' and some of copper would really only get you about $50 or so dollars at a scarp yard. Plus some scrap yards ask you to strip your copper wires before you can get any $ for it.Also, when scrapping, make sure you say "My name is ----- and I am from ---- school." Cops are cracking down on...

Have a bake sale to funding FOY or D2 or any local flying co. to come in and set it up. :grin:I have done the elevator floor number display set up. Just a quick prop mock up, luan faced light box with the numbers jigged. It did the job, but I would have much rather of had them move.

Hey CB,Designing a Little Shop of Horrors and i just can not get out of standard set mode. Every sketch seems to come out to real and boxy. I think I've just seen the same **** production everytime (not that there's anything wrong with that.) I want to pitch something different and would love...

Before we all start citing codes I must say that I miss-typed by "productions" i meant to say "events", the distros provide power to various vendors and 30x30 tents for sponsor receptions. 30x30 being large enough to require a building permit, thus making it kosher... i think... now you guys got...

I asked for a pair of 200amp Distro box for some quadpacks. Just something to power our outdoor productions. Nothing fancy... what did i end up with? a pair of rented breaker boxes, clearly salvaged from an old building and welded into a shotty frame on two very small, indoor, casters. Anytime...

I'm a TD working with FOY for a production of The Wizard of Oz, we've settled on their standard package but we are now hammering out details. FOY has been nothing but helpful but I just need a little more clarification on the differences and uses of a single-wire system, a two-wire system, and a...

Working on a production of "The Wizard of Oz" and just got an email from my designer about adding a "Middle-America farm-style windmill" to the Kansas scenes and I just came across a ceiling fan unit that was never installed in the space. I was thinking with a little luan, hardware, and theatre...
