Author Topic: Christie igniter schematic & bench testing William Hooper Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1879 From: Mobile, AL USA Registered: Jun 99 posted 03-08-2004 04:25 AM                        I've got an igniter from a Christie CH20 that won't ignite a lamp (cycles & arcs). The wiring to the terminal strip, on inspection, is burned, exposed & corroded in spots. The igniter isn't on the schematic in the manual. Does anyone have one? And does anyone have suggestions for bench testing it?  |  IP: Logged Michael Schaffer "Where is the Boardwalk Hotel?"

But sorry - no picture, no schematic...  |  IP: Logged Kenneth Wuepper Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1026 From: Saginaw, MI, USA Registered: Feb 2002 posted 03-08-2004 06:45 AM                     William, Look in the MANUALS section under Christie H30 H40 lamps where there is a generic form of the Igniter you are looking for.
