Author Topic: Cathode support collet for super lume-x? Brad Haven Master Film Handler Posts: 300 From: fremantle, West Australia Registered: Aug 2001 posted 02-17-2003 07:23 AM                     My lamp is an ushio 16sb in a super lume-x. I just recently recieved our replacement support collet, i went to install it and found that the diameter of the connector is too small to fit onto the ADAPTER. I have a spare adapter floating around, so i pulled it apart and found that there is a LOOSE large diameter connector on it! QUESTION...is it possible to remove the connector from the collet and replace it with the large diameter one...OR...try and order a support collet with a larger diameter, note, we did this and our tech sent us one back the same size as before In the manual it states two sizes, our tech apparently ordered the correct size for our lamp. I'm hoping to replace it soon as i'm replacing the lamp next month and i dont wish to have to remove it again so soon1 Any replies would be greatly appreciated!

I ordered another set of parts from Strong and they fit perfectly. I sent one of my defective parts in to have the size checked (to verify if there was a bad batch) and never heard back though.  |  IP: Logged
