    What to do with old gear?

    Hi all, I've scoured the threads and can't seem to find an answer.What are people doing with old gear nowadays? Is there a market for used 360Qs and PARs? Are they best taken to recycling for the steel?I'd rather not recycle them if there is still a market for them :)Thanks!

    Rigging does wear out

    THANK YOU. This is a battle I am currently fighting- rigging which has not been maintained, mostly due to a lack of funding. We are in the process of replacing a motorized sound shell, which will allow us to replace our non-motorized battens. THAT will hopefully be a start toward a better...

    Motor Maintenance Mayhem!

    I am trying to gather documentation on the motors which power the acoustic shell in our mainstage. I did a search and the motor has not only been discontinued by the manufacturer, but has no drawings or maintenance documentation. (I can find a spec sheet which gives me the exact information on...

    Conventional Fixtures Disposing of perfectly good lamps

    Mostly BTLs, FELs, and ESLs, with a few BTRs and HX 600s. I'm cutting back my Altman inventory in our roadhouse, and our Theatre Dept just got two new spaces that are all LED, so they're not useful to me but could definitely be useful to someone!

    Conventional Fixtures Disposing of perfectly good lamps

    VL 440 fuse?

    I recently lost one of my VLs. The power and data to the unit are fine, but I cannot locate a fuse on the unit. Does the 440 HAVE a fuse? Is it simply buried since it is considered a "non-user serviceable" part? Do I have a larger issue with the unit (like a power supply...)?

    Auditorium Upgrades

    I am trying to piece together a last-minute funding request for a complete overhaul of our PAC seating, floors and house lighting. It is a 300-seat house, and I hope to change all of the house lighting to LED. What is a reasonable amount of funding to ask for which won't bite me when I finally...

    Wenger Acoustical Shell

    Hello everyone, Is it possible to rehab/refurbish an acoustical shell? I am working with one that has seen some rough use, and am trying to weigh whether it is worth trying to fix it, or if it is more cost-effective to have a new one installed.The current shell is a laminate, two flying...
