We are "blessed" with a Light Board M here and had the same situation
(monitor installed in 1990 popped one during dimmer check just before a
show).  In our case (and I would bet yours as well) the LBM also has a
composite video out.  I went down to the AV room and pulled out a
composite video monitor and used that instead.  In this case, you won't
get color (or I don't anyway) but you do get a legible view of what's
going on.  Check the back of the board and look for a BNC output jack.

It might be possible to find a PAL coder and use a normal TV. A better

would be to use a TV with a SCART. These will accept RGB signals.

I can confirm (having just visually checked) that the video output of
the LBM is a DB9 (9 pin).  There is an additional BNC (single) composite
video out (which we are currently using with an old studio monitor).
Our old RGB monitor was a Magnavox "RGB" (it is not labeled either CGA
or EGA) which is very similar to the 16 color RGB (also Magnavox, I
believe) that came with my first PC (a Mindset- there weren't many made,
but in the days before color Macs, it blew away the graphics of standard
IBM PCs).  This monitor is original to the board, although I can't say
whether it was provided by Strand or by our in-house IT department.

Hm, must have been either your monitor or the video board in LBM.
Composite Video signals are color.

<<Mount the miter saw inside a table like you would a radial arm.  Best of
both worlds.>>

Of course... I thought that was a given .  (Better of both worlds... put the
whole business on wheels with a built in dust / waste catcher rear
compartment.

What I was refereeing to was the repetitive trigger on-pull down- through-
push back- let up motion.

To be clear, if I was able to acquire only one of the two, the sliding miter
is far and away the more useful tool.

I should probably add some clarifications:

D-subminiature is the type of connector ("D" shaped).

"DA" is the small case size used for the common 9 and 15 pin versions, but 
there are other pin counts and types that fit this size.

"DB" is the larger case size typically used for the original RS-232 
specification and now printers.  You can also get these with various 
numbers and types of pins, such has high power and coax.

So, DA-9, DA-15, DB-25 are the common types of connectors (without getting 
into metal/plastic case, etc.).

Yes, with the older monitors you could actually burn a lot of them out by 
giving them the wrong format data.  Monitors are like inkjet printers, 
built with just enough hardware to work but not much (if any) protection.

It's nice to know people who know people who know people....!
Just had this from one of my lads who has a friend at Strand who is close to
a service manager at Strand, who replied to the question thus:

Lightboard M uses an EGA (Extended Graphics Adaptor) monitor. This is not
the same as a CGA (Colour Graphics Adaptor)

EGA is RGB drive but the signals are not analogue, they are TTL. Timing is
also something weird - cannot remember actual spec but can tell you it is
not 625 line CCIR.

In 1990's the "Multisync" monitor appeared (and cost a bomb) This could
operate with CGA EGA and (the then new) VGA signals, automatically switching
its configuration to what was seen on the interface.

The good news is that Display Electronics http://www.distel.co.uk/ have EGA
monitors available together with loads of other surplus electronic goodies.

Cannot give you a direct link to the EGA monitors I found because their
site is database driven. Click the search button on their site - when on
the search page choose Monitors PC compatible from the Main Category drop
down list. I saw 2 there that would be suitable.

I dunno, I'm making this as a carp for a buddy when I work for him, and I'm
a sound guy.  I think I might make more, but I never look at the checks too
closely.  My skills are not those that would meet the requirements, either.
 I know enough about carpentry and electrics to do what I'm told, and
repeat it ad infinitum.  Drafting skills?  I think not.  I can't draw a

Doesn't matter.  With that job description, the successful applicant won't
be sitting still long enough to get cold.

I used to have a binder full of everything I found applicable to what I
usually do...but that seems to be AWOL at the moment.  I should find it
after my summer cleaning frenzy, though.

That being said, here's the list of the most applicable as best I
remember it:

29 CFR 1910
Subparts D-Q, S, and a little Z

29 CFR 1926
Subparts C-N, X, and a little Z

There's actually more in that than I end up utilizing on a day-to-day
basis, but that should cover all of the essentials and then some...

Subject: Portable theatre seating units
From: Steve Larson <tiptd [at] theatreinthepark.com>
Message-ID: <BEDF4E3B.6208%tiptd [at] theatreinthepark.com>

We are investigating the cost of replacing our
theatre seating.  We operate in a large black
box design.  There are currently 4 seating units.
Each unit holds 57 seats and each unit is 16'
wide and 20' deep.  The height of the floor on
the lowest level is 21", the height of the floor
on the highest seating level is 94".  Two units
are generally placed side by side with aisles
running up the outside ends.  We also use a
row of seats on the floor in front of the risers.
We currently seat 244.  We'd like not to lower
that figure if possible.

We are looking for something that is lighter
weight than the monsters we currently have.
These monsters are on 8" casters and require
10-15 people to move.  The new units do not
have to be rolling units.  We do want to be
able to break them down and stored when we
need lots of floor space for other activities.

This subject has been brought up recently, but
I wanted to be fairly specific in our needs.

Any sources you folks might know of to approach.

Thanks

Steve

Steve, I've found that air casters are a great way to manipulate large
units, assuming you have a smooth floor.  We make these types of rolling
units on a pretty regular basis.  Let me know if you want some help on it.

Well, we don't have that.  The new floor
doesn't come in until 2009.  Contact me

Never mind the connectors: adaptors are not hard. Ask, or tell, us about the

There are many possibilities.

I'd look something like the Stage Right LR-2000 Seating Riser 
<http://www.stageright.com/3rdLevel.php?c=1&p=6&l3=1> I have Stage 
Right Literature around here somewhere I'll look for it and add up how 
many seat you may fit. Or there Wenger Upper Deck Tiered Seating but 
you have use 5 carts to store it.  But I would try some air casters if 
your only problem is with moving them.

Air casters are definitely out.  Our theatre is
located in a 1936-vintage NG Armory.  For three
years after the NG left, the city used the theatre
area for a basketball court.  Our floor is original.
It is very rough and won't be replaced until 2009,
except the areas with 35 years of paint on the floor.

David, search for pozi-drive and you should have better
luck...Usually abreviated on the bits as PZ-1  through PZ-4.

They're more a european thing, so you might actually have
better luck scrounging them up on board than here in the states.

They only have 4 wings, but the angle is diffferent from
phillips.
the screw heads have the micro grooves to help with identity.

The ones we use have 4 nornal wings and 4 tiny wings between.
