Author Topic: Correct Strong Platter Manual Carey Barber Expert Film Handler Posts: 143 From: Newport News, VA, USA Registered: Jan 2003 posted 05-10-2009 03:52 PM                     I wanted to get all of the relevant manuals printed up for my booth. We have the Strong AP-3 platters with "phase control" I saw a manual in the "Warehouse" listed as Strong AP. It has a variac. Would this be the best manual to print?

Note that there have been several changes to the platters and makeup tables over the years, so if you need parts be sure you are getting the ones that will actually fit yours. The electrical connectors and the table belt particularly. Does anyone have payout parts lists to add to the archive?  |  IP: Logged
