The mirror is absolutely shot and if you touch the lamp house you get a nasty burn! I have had the exhaust unit checked and that's fine but the way the duct has been installed it curves to a C shape angle is enters to the top of the lamphouse opening (I have been told there is not much I can about that!) so the air flow gets restricted. However I have been advised that the lamphouse has lack of air draw points as there is only 1 draw point at the rear of the lamphouse and if it had more I would be ok. Anyone know if this would be the case? I think I just need to get more air in there but the current infrastructure does not make it easy.  |  IP: Logged Gordon McLeod Film God Posts: 9532 From: Toronto Ontario Canada Registered: Jun 99 posted 02-28-2008 08:49 PM                     Is the internal blower working?  |  IP: Logged John Koutsoumis Master Film Handler Posts: 261 From: Melbourne, Victoria, Australia Registered: Aug 2003 posted 02-28-2008 09:10 PM                     Yes it is working. Though I can't say that it has been given a full check up.  |  IP: Logged Gordon McLeod Film God Posts: 9532 From: Toronto Ontario Canada Registered: Jun 99 posted 02-28-2008 09:26 PM                     At least up here they were a cool running lamphouse even with minimal exhaust so I would suspect either a blocked exhaust or poor forced air intake  |  IP: Logged John Koutsoumis Master Film Handler Posts: 261 From: Melbourne, Victoria, Australia Registered: Aug 2003 posted 02-28-2008 09:35 PM                     Thanks Gordon. This will sure keep me busy for some time.  |  IP: Logged
