I have at Altman ALTSPOT 1000 follow spot (which appears to be identical to a 1000Q) that is about 20 to 25 years old, and it gets used occasionally (like maybe once a year). It still works despite the neglect/ lack of use. A couple basic questions:
1. The plug on the power cord was replaced before my time, but the job can charitably be described as half-assed. I need to purchase a new plug and replace it. Any recommendations on the type of plug? And does it matter which wire goes to which plug prong? (I mean other than the ground…) [The spotlight has a fan.] (Though I suppose I can just pay attention and make a note when I disassemble it.)
2. For some unknown reason, the color changers have been taped together on the inside of the spot light, so they are no longer functional. Any idea why this would have been done (like storage or transport)?
3. Any specific preventative maintenance for this spot light? [I searched CB and found a good general answer by Mayhem and ship already for a similar post.]
[I downloaded what I could from the Altman website about the 1000Q including an obsolete brochure about the Altspot 2100 (circa 1957), which strongly resembles the spotlight I have, though the 2100 has a few more features.]
Thanks
Joe
