Hey everyone, especially @ship. I've read about 35 pages of your rebuild manuals and have a few specific questions that I'll make brief:
We ordered 25 TP22's, Heycos, and extra bates connectors a few years ago. And 3/8 Insultherm sleeving on a spool. I'm sorry to say I'm just reaching enough crispy pins to do this job.
The Insultherm is too thick. Won't remotely fit into the Heycos and let you stuff some under the lamp holders. Threads on this multiple times mentioned that 200-250C rated fiberglass sleeve or techflex was just fine for whips. Do we need to re-order 650C sleeve? Also, what size? Is 1/4 just fine? We're not planning to run DMX through these whips too. Every 360Q is lamped at 575w.
The biggest thing that's worrying me is that my TP22's have rubber insulated 250C wires going right into the ceramic. Most of the pictures I've seen of yours have fiberglass there and I just took a whip apart that had 4" of fiberglass over each wire then what I assume was high temp heat shrink. We got our sockets from FC and none of their photos show fiberglass sleeved wires. Do we need to do this? What specs?
I think that's it for now. We are anxious to get this project moving and done and not go on standby again.
In other news I've never had more bench focused 360Q's in our space before and people are starting to be impressed. I'd like to give our beautiful old space the care and safety it deserves.
