Okay...I know these are ancient fixtures but it is what I have and still need to be able to use in our small community theatre. They are installed and not accessible without a ladder.
General question: I know that you are supposed to douse the lamp 10 minutes or so before you shut them down. Is there any way to do this remotely or am I climbing a ladder after every show?
One of them is not giving me any sensor errors but the gobo wheels are not landing in the proper locations. Stepper motors? Would those show up on a test? Sometimes recalibrating fixes, other times not.
The other unit that is acting up is starting to randomly douse the lamp. I immediately thought heat, however all the fans are doing what they are supposed to.
As I said, I know these are old fixtures but we are a small community theatre and are very lucky to have any movers at all. Any help at all would be very much appreciated.
