Is there some cross reference for Simplex part numbers? For example, I'm looking for the part number for the shaft holding the feed sprocket roller (the one on the right.) It's part number is P-1449. I have several shafts in our parts bin, but they all have numbers like 5440168.

Is there an "old to new" reference? Thanks.....

Yes, The Simplex parts Price list from Strong. It has both numbers in it and you look it up by the old PN. Same goes for Ballantoon and Century.

Thanks, but it's not one of the parts lists avaible in the "Manuals" section is it? I looked at them and none had the newer numbers.

John,

The problem is that you have the Simplex numbers (and those are the only real numbers) and the Strong bin numbers (the bin they pull the part out from). I wouldn't get too married to the Strong number since it could change with time. When we order parts, we have both numbers on the PO if it is comming from Strong and the Simplex (or Century) number is placed on the parts bag upon check in.

I believe that Strong is getting pretty good about putting both numbers on their packing list.

Unfortunately, some numbers are only Strong's bin number or when more than one projector shares a part, they use whomever used the part first's number. On the current turret, you have a Simplex and Century mix on the numbers as you go through it piece by piece.

Strong has gone back through some of the bin numbers and assigned Genuine Simplex style numbers to them (mostly the above P-10000 numbers).

Hiya;

We do have the Parts Lists available in EXCEL spreadsheets with both the original reference numbers (G-XXXX, P-XXXX, etc.) and their computer code parts numbers (the 52-XXXXX, etc.). You can then easily FIND the code you're looking for and the part. The Parts Lists are on our CDROM with the manuals, or we can email them to you.

Pat;

Got the parts lists.. wow, there's a lot of numbers! It's great having it in a spreadsheet, because I can sort it by the 52-XXXXX number or by the G-XXXX/ P-XXXX numbers.

This is a big help, thanks!
