If I find the manual, I'll burn a copy for Brad's Manuals Archive also.  |  IP: Logged Sam Hunter Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 779 From: West Monroe, LA, USA Registered: Jan 2002 posted 04-14-2003 03:21 PM                     Ok, recieved my ORC today and all looks good except for the thing has no bulb. The question is and refer to the pics for clarification is what type bulb do I use? (1k should work for me). Where is a good cheap source? What else do I need to get the bulb to fit? The cathode end has a threaded collar as you can see in the picture. Also, what do I use to clean the reflector with? Thanks! P.S. I still need a manual for this rig and the power supply.  |  IP: Logged John Pytlak Film God Posts: 9987 From: Rochester, NY 14650-1922 Registered: Jan 2000 posted 04-14-2003 03:30 PM                        The lamps originally supplied were ORC X-1000 (15 to 35 amps) or ORC X-1600 (30 to 55 amps). The power supply was Model RPS-X16.  |  IP: Logged John Anastasio Master Film Handler Posts: 325 From: Trenton, NJ, USA Registered: Sep 2000 posted 04-14-2003 03:45 PM                        That's a metal reflector, Sam. Stainless polish works well and will bring it up to a nice gloss. The lamp you need has a threaded end with two pins that stick out. The protective cover that the bulb comes in is used as a "wrench" to screw the thing in so that it's always protected until the bulb is actually installed. You only have to slip the ring over the front and tighten that hex nut to finish the installation, being careful not to push too hard on the lamp laterally when you do that. Be sure to dress that cable away from the reflector at the bottom. It looks from the photo as though it had an arcing problem down there at one time.  |  IP: Logged Gordon McLeod Film God Posts: 9532 From: Toronto Ontario Canada Registered: Jun 99 posted 04-14-2003 04:31 PM                     If the the lamphouse was a M1000 serries the lamp is a 700hs If it was a 1600 then the lamp is a 1000hs the 1600 watt lamp some is 1600hs  |  IP: Logged Paul G. Thompson The Weenie Man Posts: 4718 From: Mount Vernon WA USA Registered: Nov 2000 posted 04-14-2003 05:49 PM                     Sam, the power supply I sent today is the RPS-1600, just exactly what you need. It is complete with the lamp cable, and the primary power wiring that I ripped out of the wall when I removed it from service when the theatre closed. I don't have a roadmap on it, maybe Paul Meyer has one.  |  IP: Logged Rick Long Jr Expert Film Handler Posts: 211 From: Toronto, Canada Registered: Jul 2000 posted 04-14-2003 08:37 PM                     I noticed in the second to last picture you have up there, that there appears to be some burning of the reflector by the igniter. Looks like the ignition voltage likes to jump there a lot! Just thought I'd mention it in case you run into problems firing it up.  |  IP: Logged Sam Hunter Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 779 From: West Monroe, LA, USA Registered: Jan 2002 posted 04-14-2003 10:54 PM                     I don't remember a Paul Meyers. How do find him? Thanks!  |  IP: Logged Daryl C. W.
