Is there any source for Hi-Beam parts? I might need an ignitor unit and maybe a reflector.

That suggests you know where parts are? Need to look again to confirm but I think they are the brown HB II ones.
A long time ago I stripped quite a few HiBeam units to scrap the cabinets, and carefully packed up the ignitor boards and other "useful" parts... all gone to the dumpster long ago.

When I first set up my theatre I purchased a bunch of used equipment for the projection room and my first lamphouse was a brown Xebex. What a monster -- there was room to sleep inside of that thing! I replaced it with a much more efficient Strong lamphouse about a year or so later.

Edit: At least I think it was a Xebex. It was name very similar to that anyway -- a huge and heavy brown thing with a glass reflector.
