Author Topic: Cinemeccanica CC7040H Antonio Marcheselli Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1260 From: Florence, Italy Registered: Mar 2000 posted 04-03-2002 08:14 AM                        Hi everyone, We finally are going to check all light/alignment/geometry problem of our theater in Florence. Someone will remember the previous thread. In one of that thread has come out that our lamphouse is not at the correct distance from the lens/aperture plate. We will check the alignment with Align'o'tron. How can I check the lamphouse distance? The Consolle model is CC7040H and has a 3k Osram lamp inside. Thanks for your help Bye Antonio  |  IP: Logged Stan Gunn Expert Film Handler Posts: 176 From: Clematis, in the hills near Melbourne Australia Registered: Aug 2000 posted 04-06-2002 05:31 AM                        Take a long ruler or measureing tape, measure distance between rear of mirror to aperature plate. ------------------ KALEE FOREVER.

Bye Antonio  |  IP: Logged Darren Briggs Master Film Handler Posts: 371 From: York, UK Registered: Dec 2001 posted 04-06-2002 02:51 PM                        Well the ZX400h lamphouse distance from the front edge of the mirror (27cm mirror) is 505.5mm. The distance on a CX16H and CX21H is 261mm from mirror to the film. Don't know the details for the console, these dimensions were from the cinemeccanica web site. I bet youll find it's one of these measurements though. Don't forget if you have a VIC 5 or VIC 8 the cone is shorter for the VIC 8. This through me when upgrading to a VIC 8 70mm set up from a VIC 5, i couldnt get the lamp foused until I engaged my brain! Hope this helps a little!

Actually our mirror is a 30cm. What cinemeccanica website? www.cinemeccanica.it? I'll check immediately. Thanks for the info Regards Antonio  |  IP: Logged Richard Fowler Film God Posts: 2392 From: Ft.
