Re: dmx adaptor
Hi, I hadnt gotten that far yet. But IF they exist, I suppose I'm in the market. Do you know of specific manufacturers??? got reccommedations?? Do you know if the old EDI scrimmerette II 8-pin control is analog 0-10? (also, what is the proper name for that connector?) EDI online has no archive of manuels.... Do you know who does??

Re: looking for pinouts on scrimmerette II
The control connector is a Cinch-Jones. Dimmers 1-6 on pins 1-6, common on pin#8. Control voltage is 2 to 7.6 VDC.
If EDI Online cannot help, perhaps Lite-Trol can.

Re: dmx adaptor
8 pins? Square connector. 4 pins horizontal and four vertical. If so that is a cinch jones connector. You are looking for a de-multiplexor I suppose (DMX to analog). Oh, let's see, DFD, JSI, EDI, ETC, PathWay, Dove, etc. Just about everyone and their brother makes one.

As Derek said, it is 2 (black) to 7.6 (full on.) At about 8 or 9 volts, it will go black as the comparator will no longer cross the ramp.
From memory, pins 1 to 6 are the channels, the last two are phantom power and ground but you will have to check which is which because I forget! Just leave the power pin N/C.
Still have a few of those. The cost of those converters is a bit high, and you HAVE to get one that is designed for the 2-7.6v conversion and not 0-10V. DF [DougFleenorDesign] makes them.

Maybe this only applies to the scrimmer IIa models that used 15 pin jones connectors, but check your control module. If there is a removeable plate held on by two screws there may be a switch that switches the pack from 2-7.6VDC to 0-10VDC. I know the IIa's have it, don't know about the plain jane II models. YOu can download tha manual from the dimmer.com web site under library.
