Author Topic: Parts Source for Cinemation 2000 Switches? Tim Reed Better Projection Pays Posts: 5246 From: Northampton, PA Registered: Sep 1999 posted 10-29-2006 03:58 PM                       Folks, I have inherited a bunch of Cinemation 2000 units to service. Oh, joy! Does anyone know a supplier for the push-button switches on the front panel? I think they're called Shadow Switches, but the only ones I can find are used in Kelmar dimmers, and they are a bit wide to properly fit in the C2K opening without being shaved down considerably. This looks very crappy. I am not happy doing it this way, so I am trying to locate a source for the proper devices. Can anyone help, please? Thanks.  |  IP: Logged Gordon McLeod Film God Posts: 9532 From: Toronto Ontario Canada Registered: Jun 99 posted 10-29-2006 04:20 PM                     Dolby used the narrow ones as well I think these might work http://rswww.com/cgi-bin/bv/rswww/searchBrowseAction.do?D=pcb%20switch%20led&Ntt=pcb%20switch%20led&Nr=avl%3auk&Ntk=I18NAll&N=0&Nty=1&name=SiteStandard&forwardingPage=line&R=2112329&callingPage=/jsp/search/search.jsp&BV_SessionID=@@@@1041839975.11621 60160@@@@&BV_EngineID=cccdaddjfdkflkgcefeceefdffhdffo.0&cacheID=uknetscape [URL=http://rswww.com/cgi-bin/bv/rswww/searchBrowseAction.do?D=pcb%20switch%20led&Ntt=pcb%20switch%20led&Nr=avl%3auk&Ntk=I18NAll&N=0&Nty=1&name=SiteStandard&forwardingPage=line&R=1848730&callingPage=/jsp/search/search.jsp&BV_SessionID=@@@@1041839975. 11621]http://rswww.com/cgi-bin/bv/rswww/searchBrowseAction.do?D=pcb%20switch%20led&Ntt=pcb%20switch%20led&Nr=avl%3auk&Ntk=I18NAll&N=0&Nty=1&name=SiteStandard&forwardingPage=line&R=1848730&callingPage=/jsp/search/search.jsp&BV_SessionID=@@@@1041839975 .11621[/URL] 60160@@@@&BV_EngineID=cccdaddjfdkflkgcefeceefdffhdffo.0&cacheID=uknetscape  |  IP: Logged Tim Reed Better Projection Pays Posts: 5246 From: Northampton, PA Registered: Sep 1999 posted 10-30-2006 05:22 PM                       Thanks for the help, Gordon. The link shows: "To protect your personal and contact details your session has timed out after a period of inactivity". If I'm seeing what you searched correctly, though, everything pictured looks too wide still. The surface of the switches I need are very narrow... taller than they are wide. The ones on the RS website (at least, the ones I found) look square. Not sure these will work??  |  IP: Logged Hugh McCullough Expert Film Handler Posts: 147 From: Old Coulsdon, Surrey, UK Registered: Jan 2003 posted 10-30-2006 06:07 PM                        Hello Tim. When I was at the old Odeon Wimbledon we had a prototype of the Cinemation 2000 installed by Bernard Bently. When he retired, I believe, but am not certain, that all his business was taken over by Technical Lamp Supplies. They do not appear to have a web site, but their address is:- Technical Lamps Ltd. Milton Hall Milton Road Hampton Middlesex TW12 2LL UK Tel 020-8979-6652 Maybe they can be of help  |  IP: Logged Tim Reed Better Projection Pays Posts: 5246 From: Northampton, PA Registered: Sep 1999 posted 10-30-2006 09:32 PM                       Thank you, Hugh.  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 10-30-2006 09:34 PM                     Tim, Thats a sure good enough excuse to take a trip to the UK if ever there was one.....

Their website is TLS UK. I think the person you want to speak to is Matt Jahans, his contact e-mail address is on the site.  |  IP: Logged Tim Reed Better Projection Pays Posts: 5246 From: Northampton, PA Registered: Sep 1999 posted 11-01-2006 12:06 PM                       Thanks!  |  IP: Logged
