I'm installing a pair of Christie CH20 consoles with Phoenix kits and Century SA/R3 projectors. The "spacer plates" I got from Christie are only .25" thick putting the projector too close to the lamp. Does anyone know where I can get the correct plates? The folks at Christie don't seem to know.
Thanks,
Bob

Gord is correct! On the last batch of CH-20's that we rebuilt and then installed we had to machine our own spacers. Christie may still have them though in case you don't have convenient access to a machine shop..... Call Sal... shes the Christie Parts Gal!

2 six inch pieces of 1.25 inch Unistrut for each machine did the job nicely.
Thanks,
