Or put another way where the soundhead would bolt on to the pedesatal what would the height be from the to the bottom of the pedestal? Thanks!  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 03-02-2003 09:04 PM                     That might be in the Brenket manual, I know it is in the Century JJ manual for sure. Both should ahve the same optical height.

I have two brenkert bases that I am going to pick up but during the mean time I am trying to figure out just how high I can raise my projector before touching the roof. Right now I have the retrofitted engine stand as a movable pedestal.  |  IP: Logged Daryl C. W.

So about 6' plus half the diameter of the reels you are using -- that's if your using 6000' reel arms and not magazines. The pedestal iteself is probably about 30" high.  |  IP: Logged Sam Hunter Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 779 From: West Monroe, LA, USA Registered: Jan 2002 posted 03-02-2003 11:04 PM                     That sounds about right. Thanks! Hey Daryl or Brad, I am not getting my email notification when someone answers my post. I have noticed this for about a week now. I checked my preferences last night and found my email address looked ok. I am using WIndows XP and Outlook Express 6. Any suggestions? I wil recheck all my user info.  |  IP: Logged Daryl C. W.

Email Notification is working on both of my development servers and on the Cinematour Forums (which I did the programming for). It seems the problem is that the Email Notification check box isn't being rechecked when you reply to a thread yourself. We'll get this fixed after Showest, in the meantime try making sure the box is checked for every post and see what happens -- let me know.  |  IP: Logged Sam Hunter Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 779 From: West Monroe, LA, USA Registered: Jan 2002 posted 03-02-2003 11:14 PM                     Thanks! I will try that.  |  IP: Logged
