Several of our lamphouses are Xetron, the tag said model# 2000, but I couldn't find anything like that under the manuals page. I didn't know if I was looking at the wrong number.

Please be more descriptive with your subject title. A thread titled "lamphouse" doesn't tell the rest of the members what the thread is about. Something like "Help needed with model number for Xetron lamphouse" would have been much better.

You can change the title of the thread by editing the post.

What do you need to know? I have at least one of them and there might be a manual in the manual pile someplace....

It is probably an XH-2000. Check for that in the manuals archive.

I didn't know if I had the right modle number or not. [Smile]

I always just called those XeTron 2000's. 3 big meters on the back, and the relector swings out to the side (wait, that describes a lot of them)? I think Paul is right, too, it's probably technically an XH-series.

Does the lamphouse look like this?

If yes, its an XH-2000.

That would be the one we have, complete with unstable auto-ignition system that we can't leave turned on less it go into self destruct mode during a film....

If the ignitor auto strike is giving problems it is a very simple circuit
A pot (usually they get dirty and flacky) a zenier diode (eventually they self distruct from the bit HV that gets back to them and a relay
All the above could be replaced for under 50.00
then set the pot so it will strike when the rectifier charges
