Author Topic: Rebuilt Ultramittent Phil Ranucci Expert Film Handler Posts: 236 From: Carpinteria,CA, United States Registered: May 2006 posted 08-21-2010 02:15 PM                     I need to do a repair/exchange on an Ultramittent for a Christie 35GPC. Christie's price is over $1200. Does anyone other than Christie do them? Thanks  |  IP: Logged Tony Bandiera Jr Film God Posts: 3067 From: Moreland Idaho Registered: Apr 2004 posted 08-21-2010 02:43 PM                     Lighting Images Technologies (Dick Niccum) does them....the price is $1,200 with a $400 core credit when you return the defective one which makes the net price $800.

I do the rebuilding for Regal and AMC, so I've done a lot of these. If your star and cam are in good shape, the repair cost ends up being a lot less. I work for American Cinema Equipment.

He rebuilds them better than how they were built out of the factory... - Monte  |  IP: Logged Randy Bowden Expert Film Handler Posts: 146 From: Portland, OR, USA Registered: Aug 2000 posted 08-21-2010 08:33 PM                     Thanks Monte!  |  IP: Logged Monte L Fullmer Film God Posts: 8367 From: Nampa, Idaho, USA Registered: Nov 2004 posted 08-21-2010 09:11 PM                     No Prob. - The 14 plex that I work at has a few of your rebuilds installed and I can tell the difference in movement operation between the two ... Plus, there are a couple of rebuilds on the shelf that are waiting for me to install them when the others begin to "chat" ... Good luck as always! - Monte  |  IP: Logged Eric Robinson Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 538 From: Santa Rosa, CA Registered: Jan 2005 posted 08-23-2010 10:44 PM                     I second Montes recommendation for Randy. We use him exclusively and all of the intermittents work like a charm.  |  IP: Logged
