    CD80 Rack Module questions

    If you look at a”factory” CONSTANT module, that is exactly how they are constructed. No SSR, no coils, just a short length of wire from the breaker to the output pin (two circuits per module=two lengths of wire, one from each breaker to the corresponding output pin). I never suggested that it...

    CD80 Rack Module questions

    Hi Wizard. The easiest, least expensive way to power your LEDs from the existing circuits is to convert the dimmer modules for those circuits into CONSTANT modules, which involves completely bypassing the SSR(s) in that module with a piece of insulated wire (I use 8 gage) that can handle the...

    Right! I have installed quite a few Johnson upgrades when employed as a field service guy with Vincent Lighting. And yes, they are very good quality and reliable upgrades. I’ll reach out to them.

    Vintage Lighting Hi all. New guy here. Well, an OLD new guy new to this forum.

    Hey FM… yeah, this is a real puzzler. I did dig into the bottom of the rack (pictures included) but at the time, I had the new theater director hovering over my back and when I attempted to pull one of the boards out of the backplane, he about wet himself. I said “hey, look… it’s already NOT...

    Vintage Lighting Hi all. New guy here. Well, an OLD new guy new to this forum.

    Hello Jon. Yes, I worked in Cleveland many times and many places. Most notably, the original Agora Ballroom when it was over on East 24th near Cleveland State U. Hank LoConti owned the place. I was one of a number of stage hands that worked there and also at the Youngstown Agora (also a LoConti...

    Hey Rob, thanks for the feedback. This is almost as much fun as “Stump The Chumps” from the old Car Talk program on NPR many years ago.

    Hey derekleffew, thanks for the tidbits and contact infos. I find it hard to believe that this lonely high school in NE Ohio is the only place that ever had the misfortune to end up with this dandy LCI boat anchor. Onward and upward!

    Hey microstar, yeah… I agree. I was just sharing input from another observer. Not having any real world contact with a Celebrity myself, I figured that there might be someone here who could either confirm or deny so I decided to post it. Thanks for the info on the Playmaster and Playmate...

    Hi everyone. First, another Thank You to those who have offered up ideas and information on the LCI Systems console shown at the top of this thread. I’ve spoken with a few other local guys who have offered a few more tidbits that I’d like to share. My former boss at. Vincent Lighting here in...

    Vintage Lighting Hi all. New guy here. Well, an OLD new guy new to this forum.

    Hey derekleffew, thanks for the response. Yeah, you are right on about the similarities to Strand CD80 dimmers and the Mantrix. Just for some background, I am currently a part time, formerly a full time repair tech for Vincent Lighting Systems in Cleveland, OH. Been to Strand training when they...
