Capital Lighting of New York 1927-1996 had a logo on the front of their fixtures? We called these Plano-Convex Spotlights. So, clamp could have come from them, but one would think the fixture did not as there is no Manufacturer's Logo? Ebay has a few of these at prices no one would pay.

I've been learning vectorworks and love it. Does anyone offer pre-drawn scenic elements available for download?

Side note: To complicate the matters, the local economies have been hit hard, not just by 09, but by the Federal limitations on logging. This gutted the community and many families. We are also in a strange position from the County Government standpoint. There are 3 county "supervisors"...

>what are you actually trying to accomplish with this? Taking that as, "what's the overall goal?" Hmmmm. 1. I would like to come into the space to do a 90 minute event and not have to spend a day (8 hours) cleaning the stage and house, replacing sockets on the Altmans, re-lamping a...

Yes, ultimately we are screwed and have no recourse. The administration that made the "deals" with the community, to get the entire school built in the first place, are long gone. Yup, big mistake, huge. They are dis-avowing any community expectations at all. School is not forthcoming with...

>even if the community paid for most of it, you are going to have a hard time getting control of that facility. HAHAHA, I just came from a meeting which pretty much said that. They don't know how to run the space, don't have the money to run the space, and won't let someone else run it. And...

Sk8 - I didn't think to look at Canada. Good idea. >good luck getting a TD with that low amount of money I agree, but the school won't even pay $9. I've been there for 8 years and the only time they offered to pay me anything (one event, just recently) the pay ended up to be less than $1...

Aman: Specifically then, if it will get me some numbers, I'm talking about a facility that was built as part of a high school. The community paid for most of the construction costs so it's supposed to be a joint school/community facility. The school promised to manage and provide for...

I hate to say it, but it doesn't matter, does it? A community facility or a school facility, there is a cost for building maintenance, or energy costs that someone is paying. What is that number? If you don't pay it, the school pays it. Does anyone have any numbers? Does anyone pay their...

jstroming, understood, thanks. There is not enough local similar other up here. Ideally I'd get a sample of a few dozen similar spaces across the country, knowing there would be highs and lows. Some variables and needing to compensate. But I've been looking online for a while now and can't...

Point taken. At this moment in the discussion, who pays the electric bill is less important (doesn't matter) than what is the exectric bill (if you pay it) right? I didn't say the bill doesn't matter, I said it didn't matter whether the community pays or the school pays, the bill needs to...

...though it be not written down, yet forget not that I am an ass.....

But also to the point, if you run a 2,000 seat venue and run 300 productions per year, your numbers won't help me. If you have a 450 school facility but run double the events listed, that would still help. If you don't know the cost of electricity, OK, but if you do for a similar situation...

Seriously, I thought I did provide meaningful responses. Some of those questions are beyond the scope of the quesiton. Parking? You need to know if I need more parking in our parking lot, before you will answer a question about your yearly budget for lamps and gels? If I am out of line...
