Yous should talk to Eddie Stephens as we have been running rechargeables for some years!

Thanks for all the replies. I think we are looking at a swap for a B grade. A fixed price makes more sense Nick

One of my theatres has a pack that is no longer is actually radiating although the pack telemetry says it is . Doent work with more than one receiver. If I fail to get it work I was planning to trade it in for a cost, but I am not sure Sennheiser still do this?

I cant remember what exactly I paid with import duty but I think it worked out at about £100 each all up. I bought these in black. They came in sets of four in handy carry bags

I bought eight from China direct via Alibaba and very please with them. The cost about £100 each so fit your budget

I thought it would be something like that . Probably better I sell it to someone with the correct licence! Thanks for the comprehensive answer.

Although most of my kit is Sennheiser G3 sets of radiomics I have also got channel 70 stuff as a back up for higher numbers required on a job. I just bought used G2 beltpack which is marked 833-866Mhz but on powerup is 518-554Mhz with no means of tuning outside that. It was a cheapish Ebay purchase from a seller of lots of things. Is it possible a previous owner has recycled a case and therefore its actually a Band A device? Is the re any way of tuning higher?

Thanks for the suggestions chaps. I assume if its marked 240v then putting that across the coil should do something? It doesnt, that why I am thinking its possibply the pump rather than the control side?

I first looked at the problem during lockdown but now I am up and running again I though I would revisit the problem. I think I have narrowed the problem down to the fluid pump not working. Its possible its seized up. Having taken it apart I actually think the coil might have failed, not sure thoughA replacement pump, model is SP-35a (m24050) List price seems to be maybe £80. Does anyone know of a cheap replacement. I think they are used in many devices ie Chauvet

Basically the unit is losing registration , sometime on startup and sometimes part way through a show. Restarting usually gets it running right. I imagine its a detector that is intermittently not read correctly. Any ideas please?

I have another issue now, but I thought I would belatedly update on this issue. It turned out the LED engine had failed. The Chinese manufacturer sent a replacement engine and it proved pretty easy to replace and all was fine, although I am really only now getting the kit in use again. Hopefully it will be okay now! I am about to start another thread on a different matter.

I am sure I used these for the last panto before lockdown with now problems. This year it seems to me a bit DMX in orientated. Ie no lead in it sits fine. Plug in a lead with a termination and it occasionally farts smoke. It’s just smoke , no illumination. Going onTims last comments I wonder if the feed pipe in one is slightly differently positioned so drips are leaking onto the heater. I am not totally involved with this show as I have my own panto to contend with. Trying to help sort though

Until I had to think about sourcing some robotics for a show, I had nor realised they had been in financial trouble. Now most of their listed distributers dont any more. Stage Electrics hope for a delivery in ten days which is very very borderline. Does anyone know of a stock already held anywhere?
