Does anyone know anything about a Xenolite Model FF10 lamphouse? I couldn't find a manual on it. I assume it's a very old Christie model. What type of power supply is needed for it and can any be found? Thanks.

Yes, it's an old Christie model with a 450 watt vertically mounted lamp, designed for 16mm or slide projector use, although you can mount it behind a 35mm machine and it will work. On almost every one I've ever seen, the mirror is bad, mostly because of heat damage. The plastic mount that the lamp sits in is a real piece of [bs]

and the focussing mechanism is truly Rube Goldberg. The little power supply isn't bad. It uses the same starter as its big brothers. It just has a smaller transformer.

Thanks John for the heads up. [thumbsup]
