Give it some time. Actually, the one you have isn't bad for the application, and it's sure convenient enough. I would have one at home. It's just that they were never very efficient lamphouses. And there were a few design flaws that you had to wonder what they were thinking; like the RF coil being located in the front of the lamphouse on the early 6000 model - where all the heat is focused (or was the whole igniter down there, don't remember?).  |  IP: Logged Travis Hubrig Expert Film Handler Posts: 175 From: Minot ND, USA Registered: May 2003 posted 06-05-2003 05:12 PM                     We used to have a 1000w ORC, it was kind of cool... so little and portable... We kept it for a back up for the XHN lamphouses that we have, We found that the XHN were so reliable that we didn't need the ORC.  |  IP: Logged Steve Kraus Film God Posts: 4094 From: Chicago, IL, USA Registered: May 2000 posted 06-05-2003 06:38 PM                    Ya gotta admit: Optical Radiation Corporation is/was a cool name. Well, so is ORCON.  |  IP: Logged
