    Automated Fixtures Trackspot Bolts? Were they horrible?

    Hello!Anyone know anything about the Trackspot Bolts? They seem to basically be a Technobeam-ish fixture with the Trackspot name, and a LED light engine. Light engine was really early, and heat pipes and heat exchanger to cool the thing from the picture I saw.I have become curious about...

    Wanted: Old HES Status Cue

    Yea, it's been up there for two years or something. High price, freight shipping (Not sure how heavy they are?). Hoping to find something a bit more ... surplus. Especially considering the PC / Link card is missing from that (It's windows 3.1 software!)

    Looking for used technobeam lithos/gobos

    I found a guy (goboman I think) that had a catalog of some fairly simple steel patterns and I ordered some of them. $60 or $70 later I had some nice new patterns to throw in my machines. One thing though, his cutting of the pattern was fairly small compared to the size of the others, so a lot of...

    WTB: Dead mobolazer ML-250, ML-300, ML-10 etc

    Long shot but I'm looking for old Mobolazer equipment with failed argon lasers. Want to re-purpose the units. They're just DC motors with mirrors that hit turrets with more mirrors. Don't care about the XY scan unit. If it's there fine but if not -- not a loss.Drop me a PM on here or my...

    If it's during a basketball game -- just make sure the solution doesn't leave a bunch of slippery residue on the court.

    DMX video blanker

    I would go software. If you remove the VGA signal from the monitor there is a good chance it will start to show a "No Signal" Warning.If you used something like an extron MXP switcher, it has an easy RS232 protocol. It would be possible to build a conversion on a microcontroller to go DMX-512...

    Best flashlight

    Ultrafire XML-T6. They're sub $20 on feeBay. One of mine has some sort of dirty contact issue, but when it's less than $20 for a charger, 2 batteries and the light who cares. I buy extra ones and when I leave one behind I don't sweat it. It's very bright, and has 3 brightness levels. Main...

    TV Monitor Network question

    Personally I love AMX as a control system but you have to write software to drive the control unit.Extron and others make what is called a matrix switch. This has inputs and outputs.Then comes your endpoints.Most of the venues I see end up hanging cable TV boxes with all of the TVs and...

    Source for surplus Sanyo projectors like the PLC-XP46 and PLC-XP55?

    Thanks for the leads! I did end up picking up a 55 and 47 (I think those are the models) of the Sanyo PLC-XP line.One of them works great and is beautiful. I don't think it was used much in it's prior life. The second one, the blue panel is pretty shot *I think*. There is kind of a hump in the...

    Source for surplus Sanyo projectors like the PLC-XP46 and PLC-XP55?

    Not married to that model, it's just one that came up on my radar and it seemed to be common enough to find parts often. Also it's old enough and out of production so hoping they're heading to scrap. Also, interchangable lenses are possible which isn't always the case.Budget is limited. Most...

    Source for surplus Sanyo projectors like the PLC-XP46 and PLC-XP55?

    Hello!I help out with a number of events mostly centered around video gaming and sci-fi cons. I normally setup DMX universes, video distribution and switching and power distribution (lots of arcade machines!)I'm trying to find sources for surplus projectors that have the (hopeful) future...

    Timed power up via RS232 for Sanyo projectors

    Hello! I run AMX hardware at home and at a geek club I help with, and have done Sanyo PLC-xxxx integration on it. I read the bulb hours every 15 minutes and well as control some of the function (input select, on/off, wide/narrow.)My particular model has both ethernet and rs232. As I recall...
