son of lx dad Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 White Light own some Technobeams and we used to keep mirrors in stock. Ask for Rachel - moving lights hire co-ordinator, she would be the best person to start your search with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevinE Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 Technobeam is High End Systems isnt it? They are part of Barco. 01344 206600 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamtastic3 Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 Technobeam was bought over by Strong Lighting in the States weren't they? We've got some Technobeam's in the venue I work in and honestly, they have been the hardest spare parts to source in the UK. Ultimately they have to come from the States so the shipping costs can be really expensive. Any leads for motors at cheap prices would be great! ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashley R Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 if its just a mirror your after, might I suggest that you go to a glazier and get one cut up, of the appropriate thickness material etc. etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timsabre Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 if its just a mirror your after, might I suggest that you go to a glazier and get one cut up, of the appropriate thickness material etc. etc. They are surface silvered, and extremely thin, which I doubt you would get from a glazier (normal mirrors are silvered on the back).

gyro_gearloose Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 You could try getting a Clay Paky Miniscan mirror from Thoman or Pulsar. They are 145mm by 86mm and should cost around £25. I ordered one from Pulsar and it was here the following day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 Inactive Blue Room member Spike may well know where you can get Techno parts; he has been battling to keep a set of them working on and off for five years now, with a varied degree of success.

I know what he feels like then! Just to say that Miniscan mirror, although fairly big, may not work to it's full potential. Maybe something like a Martin Roboscan 918 mirror which is the same shape? I don't know the size of this though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Remo Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 If it's a front surface mirror you are after try http://www.scientificmirrors.co.uk They will cut to size and shape you require. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ed_ld Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 We get all our High End parts from TMB (tmb.com),they usually only deal with trade customers but should be able to put you in touch with a dealer who can help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

merlin24 Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 Thanks for all the help guys. Its more than likely AC can do something as well. 01494 446000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamtastic3 Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 With my run in with AC, they said they'd get the parts from Strong based on part numbers and send them. This obviously beefs up costs (shipping, VAT, etc) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
