  1. I have a woven plastic (PP?) bag that doesn't leak simply because it has a welded closed HDPE bag inside. The woven bag takes the wear damage and the plastic bag holds the dusty contents inside.
  2. Push down blasting machine for sale. (think Wyle E Coyote!). It works, it's been rebuilt during it's life, it's NOT museum grade. Located Docklands E6. Open to sensible offers. Ebay puts this on the line for payable ads.
  3. The right venue will find you a rated point or ten in the middle of the roof, Battersea Town Hall used to have a square grid attached to the centre of the ceiling. Other places just don't bother.
  4. EVERY venue should have some kind of licence to operate as a place of entertainment. Those permits will have conditions amongst which will be the fire standards, among which will be standards for fire retardance for everything. If a council inspector calls (yes they do) that inspector can pull the licence to be a place of entertainment. I've seen it happen once in Leicester Square, the fire inspector turned up during the early evening and found things that didn't comply and shut the venue down. It took them 18 months to get the work done because the freeholder was a Church, the building was Listed and no-one wanted to work in a no vehicles, no parking location. A venue licence is issues after inspection and will be renewed almost for ever. BUT if the licence is lost the building works must make the building up to the new standards, which will be EXPENSIVE.
  5. Le-Maitre mess cartridges have narrow spaced pins. Their bright cartridges have a wider spacing. Narrow suits their angled pods, wide suits their UPRIGHT pods.
  6. Sky-High is re-incarnated as Illusion Pyrotechnics, same staff same site new owners. info@illusionpyrotechnics.com Similar range of products.
  7. To do the job well you need really high supports that cannot be reached by any drunk/excited punter OR used as a prop or weapon by a fighter. This is best suited to a roof support rig IF there are rated points for your use.
  8. The venue licence will define the requirements for fire resistance not the proposed supplier of unknown drapery. Unless a materiel is non flammable like Brick or Concrete, then some regulations WILL apply. Every major town has had a fire incident in the entertainment sector and each has devised different regulations to minimise risk and hazard. If major items especially drapes do not have certificates and labels then some venues could block the show on the night. If the show is touring then check with every local authority that you will pass through.
  9. I have three NJD IQ500 (575w discharge lamped disco waggly mirror lanterns with DMX) for sale. They've been in store for some years. Open to offers ££, to be called for in ULEZ East London.
  10. Chevin's prime advantage when new was light weight. Largely due to switch mode psu's. Having stock of the internal modules that were cutting edge in the 90s could be the difference between repair and failure 30 years later.
  11. Music gear direct will look at Chevin amps. re Yorkie; Chevin (now in Slovakia) seem to have one contact for the UK who didn't sound very hopeful on the phone.
  12. Chevin Research probably still exists otherwise their www hosting would be expired by now. I've visited their site today (06/12/2023) their contact details are on the site, Address: Slovakia, Phone: +421 915 292356, http://www.chevin-research.com United Kingdom Dealer/Distributor, Nottinghamshire, Music Gear Direct +44(0)1159383892
  13. Chevin-research.com are still searchable on the web. Those lists include dealers in various countries (Europe and more). The listed service agent for the UK is Music Gear Direct NG16 2UZ. However that's from Bing search, I offer no guarantee that the information is current. I used to use a Chevin A500 at that time it was the only amplifier that was a one hand carry with ease.
  14. I've just found a P28 T1 lamp holder, could be for a Furse SPR or a Patt 23, condition unused but needs dusting. Does anyone have a need for it? FOC + P&P.
  15. I remember (I'm old!) tinsel made of aluminium strips, which would have some fire resistance. Modern tinsel is plastic (mylar?) with a fine deposited layer of metal, there is no way to make these fireproof.
