Author Topic: Christie Platters Fred Mossman Film Handler Posts: 6 From: Victoria, BC, CA Registered: Aug 2003 posted 10-29-2007 04:05 PM                     So my friend has a lead on a 5 deck Christie Platter for $1000. I've seen some pictures and it seems in pretty good shape. I'm waiting for him to get back to me with which model it is. Now, how does the price seem to everyone? And, more importantly, this platter doesn't have a MUT with it. If he buys a MUT seperately, does it have to be the same model, or can any Christie MUT work with any table? Thanks, Fred  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 10-29-2007 06:37 PM                     Other MUTS can be adapted, done it many times. But no others will directly plug into the AW-3 as-is. You will have to essentially build an AW-3 mut out of what ever mut you end up with. A variac based mut can also work well, just rectify the AC output of the variac with a bridge rectifier Mark  |  IP: Logged Thomas Dieter Expert Film Handler Posts: 234 From: Yakima, WA Registered: Jun 2004 posted 10-31-2007 04:44 PM                     This seems all to coincidental that the Park 11 theatre in Winter Park, FL just closed, and he's got a lead on a 5 Deck Christie. They too had one, where's your platter coming from?  |  IP: Logged
