Gear is gone

There's an interested party making arrangements to pick up the equipment, but if that falls through, I'll be sure to post here. You could probably get it all in a cargo van, there is one piece (the truss mounted roller drop) that's 10' long....

Wybron Forerunner Scrollers use similar grey dials to set the address. I think you're on your way!

Players by the Sea Community Theatre and School of The Arts, a 501(c)3 non-profit organization based in Jacksonville Beach, FL, has the following equipment available for free, for a limited time, to anyone willing to pick it up in its entirety from our location.The Wybron Motovator system...

Sounds good. 12:30 it is...

I'm in! See you all there!

I volunteer at a similarly sized community theatre (150 seats, about 14' high grid), and we've been using 14 TyLED 36w RGBAW par cans to do the same sort of work you're thinking about. In our experience, they do a fine job. I would recommend them as a good place to start your LED travels...

If there was any doubt about who some of the "old heads" were around here, it has just been removed...:lol:

Agree strongly with using groups instead of submasters. We do that on our Element all the time. Now I have to see if we have the same cool Direct Select functionality on our board as Steve does on his!!! I love Control Booth!

Discovered one of these in the back of our storage unit, without any documentation of course. Called DAK, who had no info on it since they no longer sell them. Does anyone have any user manuals or other info on the proper use, care and feeding of this mic? Are they of any practical use on a...

+1 on the rotary fabric cutter, along with the OLFA Rotary Mat to help save the blade....

I think the Pars may be the way to go, as many of our productions are staged such that only part of the stage is lit at a time, so the long strips might be too much.Our pipes are less than 20' over the stage, so the throws are relatively short.What sort of beam size/angle do the Pars have?

I am the volunteer Tech Director at a non-profit community theatre, mostly straight plays and a musical or two per season. We have an opportunity to invest between $4,000 and $6,000 in some new instruments for our main stage and studio "black box". Our current rig consists of mostly old...

+1 on the Element. We recently replaced our old Melange Pro with the Element 40-500. It gives you a control for 120 channels and 40 subs, and ETC has been a pleasure to work with in supporting all our volunteers' questions as we learn about the board.

You're correct, socket, not base or lamp cap.:oops: It's only been about 23 years since I've done any of this. Really appreciate the help in getting back up to speed!:lol:
