Author Topic: need help with model number for lamphouse Patrick McDonough Expert Film Handler Posts: 118 From: Greenfield Ma. Registered: Jul 2002 posted 03-17-2003 02:24 PM                     Several of our lamphouses are Xetron, the tag said model# 2000, but I couldn't find anything like that under the manuals page. I didn't know if I was looking at the wrong number.  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 03-17-2003 04:13 PM                     Please be more descriptive with your subject title. A thread titled "lamphouse" doesn't tell the rest of the members what the thread is about. Something like "Help needed with model number for Xetron lamphouse" would have been much better. You can change the title of the thread by editing the post.  |  IP: Logged Don Bruechert Mmmmmmmmm, bird!

Check for that in the manuals archive.  |  IP: Logged Patrick McDonough Expert Film Handler Posts: 118 From: Greenfield Ma.

I think Paul is right, too, it's probably technically an XH-series.  |  IP: Logged Aaron Sisemore Flaming Ribs beat Reeses Peanut Butter Cups any day!
