Author Topic: Christie manufacturing delays Jonathan Althaus Master Film Handler Posts: 435 From: Bedford, TX Registered: Dec 2008 posted 05-19-2010 06:00 PM                     We have 2 Barcos being installed in 5 weeks, and with all the problems we had on our single install, I'm hoping for the best, but expecting the worst.  |  IP: Logged Demetris Thoupis Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1240 From: Aradippou, Larnaca, Cyprus Registered: Apr 2001 posted 05-20-2010 12:45 AM                     Are they installation problems or equipment problems? Is like automation systems. If the programming is shit the equipment is uselless!

Wrong size lens, wrong size bulb, confusion on in-pedestal dimmer, broken dimmer, stuck blue pixel. And we had issues with the Christie guys doing the install, not setting things up like we requested. Hopefully we have a smoother install with Barco installers.  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 05-20-2010 02:22 PM                     quote: Brad Miller NEC isn't backlogged because nobody wants them. They are now my friend although not as badly as Christie is because NEC has much larger manufacturing facilities! It's taken but a very short time for people to discover what a killer deal the NEC Series 2 actually is.  |  IP: Logged Mike Moreno Expert Film Handler Posts: 200 From: culiacan sinaloa mexico Registered: Jul 2008 posted 06-05-2010 10:15 PM                        Mark, it is posoble for you to know how many NEC´s are in Mexico? mile moreno  |  IP: Logged Demetris Thoupis Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1240 From: Aradippou, Larnaca, Cyprus Registered: Apr 2001 posted 06-11-2010 04:16 AM                     Last I heard Christie lead times is in Januarry-February 2011!  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 06-11-2010 02:41 PM                     quote: Mike Moreno Mark, it is posoble for you to know how many NEC´s are in Mexico?
