Author Topic: Screwed By A Super-Simplex Colin Wiseley Expert Film Handler Posts: 123 From: Blacksburg, VA Registered: Dec 1999 posted 05-31-2000 10:26 AM                     Thanks Ken, I already downloaded them. Thank god for film-tech. My only beef with the manual is that it shows the parts for each sub-assembly, but doesn't show how the sub-assembly mounts to the chassis, which would have helped in some cases when I was taking it apart. ------------------ Colin Wiseley Lyric Theatre Blacksburg, VA www.thelyric.com Josh Jones Redhat Posts: 1207 From: Plano, TX Registered: Apr 2000 posted 05-31-2000 11:42 AM                        Limelite? in Bemiji? Who told you that? the only running theatre in town is the Amigo 8, right next door to a closed Drive-in called the "Cisco". The multiplex is running all xenon and platters W/ 3 digital houses(2 SRD, 1 DTS) There was an old theatre in the downtown area, but is is now a stage house for community plays and stuff. The Amigo got all the chiefs equipment. BTW, is it normal for a super's intermittant to tick?

Is this normal? I've got four Brenkert BX-60's that need rebuilding. Wish me luck....  |  IP: Logged Gordon McLeod Film God Posts: 9532 From: Toronto Ontario Canada Registered: Jun 99 posted 06-01-2000 02:51 PM                     It shouldn't be a loud tick or for that matter a tock either  |  IP: Logged Colin Wiseley Expert Film Handler Posts: 123 From: Blacksburg, VA Registered: Dec 1999 posted 06-01-2000 05:46 PM                     Our XL was rebuilt by Cardnial Sound about a year and a half ago and doesn't tick at all. ------------------ Colin Wiseley Lyric Theatre Blacksburg, VA www.thelyric.com  |  IP: Logged John Wilson Film God Posts: 5438 From: Sydney, Australia.
