Nice pictures Vidar,Did you manage to get any bargains?

Great stuff Vidar - keep 'em coming. Looks a great venue and well attended. It's good that you put names to faces too.
 
Posted by Vidar Olavesen (Member # 3354) on November 18, 2014, 01:05 PM:
 
I will try, but then again, I do not know everyones names yet. Hope somebody can help out with some names. It is, Mr. Mannering in a couple of pictures there. It was a pleasure to meet you all and sadly, some I didn't get the names of. Hope to soon know you all :-)

There was a lot of bargains there. I picked up 3 pcs 400' for 12 and Shamus was among them. I've been looking for this for a while

Still there's about 4 more parts I think for these pictures, then I'll do some (not many) auction shots. When the Sunday is finished, I try to make the Friday and Saturday meetings posted too.

Great pics Vidar! I'm suprised that with taking all these pics you had time left over to buy any films!
 
Posted by Vidar Olavesen (Member # 3354) on November 19, 2014, 03:03 AM:

Anyone?
 
Posted by Douglas Meltzer (Member # 28) on November 20, 2014, 01:19 PM:
 
Andrew,

That projector looks like the Bauer T510. The T610 looks the same however it has a monitoring switch in the back and to my eye this one just has a small black cover where the switch would be.

Doug
 
Posted by Andrew Woodcock (Member # 3260) on November 20, 2014, 03:37 PM:
 
Thanks for that Doug. Yes I couldn't quite make out whether or not it had a switch on my size of screen here so thanks again Doug.

Anyone know if it was for sale on the day and did Lee's Xenon sell on the day?

First of all many thanks to David for holding once again a successful NFCC for us; good good we know next yr's date--& for anyone this may concern, was told by Bob Nicholls Virgin trains might run a direct service London to Blackpool -through B'ham!!- next year--sounds like it's especially for us NFCC buffs!
...and again, fab to meet you Vidar & the Nordic bunch, & many thanks for calling me 'a great guy'--feelings are mutual! [Smile]

Phil of CHC told me in August that he was attending a model railway show somewhere else in the country. Not sure but was the date changed for this years Blackpool?

Nice pictures vidar ,so jealous of that hawk the slayer ,hopefully ill find one soon .
 
Posted by David Guest (Member # 2791) on November 21, 2014, 12:14 PM:
 
the date was always the same weekend every year since I took over from deran phil got his dates mixed up so was not able to attend this year and missed a good day ,as I am sure he would have done well with his new releases .re new date next year I have changed the date because on that weekend the hotel is booked every year for a irish weekend .and they have taken all the acomadation rooms up in the hotel so no room left.there will plenty of room available next year if anyone one wants to stay at the Hilton ,I hope this answers your question david

Hi Vidar, really nice pictures!
May I ask you which model of Fumeo is showm in the photos?
Do you remember?
In one photo it seems to be a rectifier on the floor, under the projector... Is it a xenon model?

Ciao
Flavio
 
Posted by Vidar Olavesen (Member # 3354) on January 13, 2015, 03:38 AM:
 
It's a 9139 Arc300 it seems to say on the side. I can't help with anything else, sorry.
 
Posted by Andrew Woodcock (Member # 3260) on January 13, 2015, 03:53 AM:

Thanks for posting Vidar. Those are some great pics. I sure hope to some day cross the pond and attend one of the shows in Blackpool or Ealing.
 
Posted by Simon McConway (Member # 219) on January 14, 2015, 12:48 PM:
 
The Fumeo projector belongs to me and is the MARC 300 version. The power unit is indeed seen on the floor. An exceptional light output, but these lamps have a life of about 50 hrs and the light does tend to fall off towards the end of those hours.
 
Posted by Flavio Stabile (Member # 357) on January 17, 2015, 01:12 AM:
 
Many thanks Simon and Vidar!

Very nice projecor! [Smile]
 
Posted by David Ollerearnshaw (Member # 3296) on January 17, 2015, 02:00 PM:
 
Simon, I too have one of those Fumeo's. They are really bright and a well built projector. Your power pack is it the Fumeo original one? Mine is not the original one, the multi connector is not very long on mine, the projector has to stand on it.
 
Posted by Andrew Woodcock (Member # 3260) on January 17, 2015, 02:07 PM:
 
Question to Simon or David:

How difficult are the lamps to find for these nowadays and are they very expensive?
 
Posted by David Ollerearnshaw (Member # 3296) on January 17, 2015, 05:38 PM:
 
I think they are getting rare now. I bought ten a few years ago at a sell off price. I only use my Fumeo for big screens now, my Gs/ST1200 for other shows
 
Posted by Andrew Woodcock (Member # 3260) on January 17, 2015, 06:59 PM:
 
What price then David?

Reason for asking, is I would like a 2k lumens plus S8 PJ one day to showcase S8 but would only invest if the lamps were readily available. As it appears to me, only the Beaulieu HTI ticks all the boxes for price/ future availability from what I am seeing.

The Elmo Xenon is not an option for me nowadays due to the unbelievable noise these create besides the astronomical cost of the lamps not to mention the other too numerous to mention issues associated with the Elmo's.

Maybe I should just stick with one of Robert Tuckers miraculous Bauer T610's that runs the usual A1232 15v 150w lamp yet somehow produces .. now what was it again... Oh yeah, 2400 ansi lumens or thereabouts! Ha ha ha ha. LMFAO!!

Grindhouse at it's very best!!

Posted by David Ollerearnshaw (Member # 3296) on January 18, 2015, 04:06 AM:
 
All I remember on the price is around $650 with shipping. That was for 6 6000ft 16mm spools and 10 Marc 300 lamps.
 
Posted by Andrew Woodcock (Member # 3260) on January 18, 2015, 06:00 AM:
 
That's a good price for 10 high powered lamps David! That's besides factoring in the reels.
 
Posted by David Ollerearnshaw (Member # 3296) on January 18, 2015, 06:40 AM:
 
I think the company was International Cinema Equipment. Must say I did drop lucky on that deal.
 
Posted by Andrew Woodcock (Member # 3260) on January 18, 2015, 07:23 AM:
 
You sure did David! Fantastic price for such a powerful lamp. I bet the image from your Fumeo is just superb!
 
Posted by Flavio Stabile (Member # 357) on January 22, 2015, 03:25 PM:
 
Hi Andrew,

the MARC 300 lamps are currenlty available at Wittner-Germany

http://www.wittner-kinotechnik.de/katalog/05_licht/a_lampen.php

Of course the cost is in my opinion too high if you cosider that the life of the lamp is given for 50 hrs only!

Flavio
