Yea after my use of the cattle prod..... the orignal post was from the 18th though so it actually took him just about 2 days to find it.....  |  IP: Logged Frank Dubrois Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 896 From: Cleveland, OH Registered: Mar 2005 posted 01-20-2006 06:51 PM                    Does he work for the company that made that automation? If so, a solution(s) to that problem should be posted here, in the forum.  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 01-20-2006 11:01 PM                     Frank, Yes he does..... and I couldn't agree more....

Frank, could I get your mailing address, I will swap you a set of relays. Does it happen in every house? When did it start?  |  IP: Logged Frank Dubrois Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 896 From: Cleveland, OH Registered: Mar 2005 posted 01-21-2006 09:33 AM                    It happens in every house with varying problems. All problems are relay related. Can you tell me what the rating of the relays are that belong there? Also, I dont think the relays are bad since we took one set of relays from one projector, swapped them with another projector and BOTH projectors worked frine for about a week.  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 01-21-2006 12:07 PM                     Thanks Bevan for posting it all here so we all can know how to deal with any problems that may creep up....

I'd like to swap you a set of relays and maybe a power supply to see if we can reproduce the problem here. Please e-mail me your address. bevan.wright@movingimagetech.com.  |  IP: Logged Timothy Eiler Expert Film Handler Posts: 126 From: Litchfield , Minnesota, USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 07-01-2006 12:31 PM                        quote: RULE #13 If you start a thread on the forums asking for a solution to a problem and you and up getting the answer directly from the manufacturer or other non-internet means, it is expected for you to make a follow-up post explaining the solution. Remember, the forums are open 24 hours a day, every day of the year, and since most problems happen after normal 8-5 weekday hours, the forums are commonly the only place for people to turn to for assistance in the evenings and on weekends. As such, do your fellow members a favor and take the time to post the resolution to your problem. Is this still a problem or has it been resolved If resolved how about letting us all know what the soulution was.  |  IP: Logged
