Strand Quartet Shutters

[JoshE]

Hi,

 

I am wanting to re-commission some old Strand Quartet 22/40's (Mk. 1) into service at work.

My trouble is that I am missing shutters. Obviously spares for be hard to find considering the light is over 15 years old, I have looked around on the web (eBay, Usedlighting, Stage Electrics, etc) and I can find absolutely nothing.

I have tried fitting Cantata shutters but I believe they can only fit into Quartet Mk.2's.

 

Does anyone know anywhere they can recommend trying or that stock anything like this or even drawings they can give me so I can make some up out of sheet metal.

 

Any help is appreciated.

 

Cheers,

Josh

+1 for Jim Lawes, but also keep trying eBay - I see Quartet shutters appear sproradically.

 

Or, thinking out of the box, get a metal working company to copy a working one and manufacture new ones?

I'm looking for 16.

I've tried Usedlighting but will try Jim Lawes tomorrow.

 

If someone could provide me with drawings of the shutter I can get a sheet metal worker to make some up for me.

 

Cheers.

Try using strand prelude shutters I think they are the same size.

I have 8 spare-ish shutters from 22/40s but they are off the latest lantern - the Phillips branded one. Not sure if they are the same but I could lend you a set to copy if it helps

Strand prelude shutters are a different shape, but fit and work. It memory recalls they are shallower so can't go quite as small, but are fine for shutter 'tidying'.

[JoshE]

Tried Usedlighting, they have none in stock and I will try Jim Lawes Lighting.

 

TomHoward, would it be possible to send drawings of one of your spares to me? That way I can get a metal worker to make some up for me.

 

Any help is appreciated.

If you leave a message on the Strand Archive forum you may get a slightly better chance of getting some that have been stored in someones garden shed for a few years.

Given that I've seen complete, working quartet profiles come up on ebay fairly recently, it may be worth buying one just to copy the shutters from.
