I have been messing around with the theatre design program. Very nice piece of software for freeware. I also have downloaded, just haven't used the lens calculator. I'm sorry I will have more questions, but for right now I'm looking for a lens and then the lightsource. I think while I rebuild the projectors I'll be able to find someone wanting to sell a lens. Thanks, Cody  |  IP: Logged Phil Hill I love my cootie bug Posts: 7595 From: Hollywood, CA USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 07-06-2004 11:07 PM                  Cody... welcome to Film-Tech! Keep in mind NOT to pay any attention to what the likes of Joe Redifer, Brad Miller, Mark Gulbran...whatever, or those other wanna-be "professionals" have to say. Only listen to me. I know all! Seriously, welcome! >>> Phil  |  IP: Logged Philippe Laude Film Handler Posts: 79 From: Longueville, Belgium Registered: Jul 99 posted 07-09-2004 07:34 AM                     Hello Cody. I built a small lamphouse for a friend of mines, starting from a SIMDA (Kodak) slide projector. It uses its genuine built-in 24V 250W halogen bulb, its complete mirror/condensers system, except for the last lens, replaced by the front lens of a f= 140mm cinema lens, and its complete power unit. To be able to place it a cabinet I had, I modified the cooling air flow, using a computer muffin fan. It gives good results for a maximum 2.5m-3m wide screen. Of course, like you've already been told, it isn't xenon. I have pictures if you want,I don't succeed in submitting pictures here. Just E-mail me. Philippe  |  IP: Logged
