Author Topic: MiT platter design review Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 05-15-2005 05:19 PM                     I don't know of any large installations as of yet. Perhaps Bevan can enlighten us on that. For us its a wait and see sort of thing. Will they still be around in another year or two??? These things have to sell eventually or the seed money will run out and thats it. Overall its not a bad design and it should be selling. The real problem is that its yet another platter. And we have been selling the present three manufacturers platters since they've been out... I just don't know if we need another?

Bevan, are your rollers interchangeable with the Christie AW3? Our supplier called you up the other day and someone said they are not interchangeable. I could have sworn that you said everything was interchangeable at ShowEast last year when I spoke with you. --Tom  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 07-09-2008 08:12 PM                     The shaft sizes are different, so no they are not directly changeable. MiT does make a brain modification kit for the AW3, to use their roller in place of the center "spring tension" roller of the AW3. It's a great idea, because their drag system is superior to the basic spring that the AW3 uses...but it will only work for about a year, 18 months tops. Then you start scratching everything you run through it!!! Sadly this is no joke. I'll post pics.  |  IP: Logged
