They don't come with a regulated supply if that's what you're asking. It sounds like you're looking at brewing your own Jax Light.  |  IP: Logged John Walsh Film God Posts: 2490 From: Connecticut, USA, Earth, Milky Way Registered: Oct 1999 posted 01-31-2006 08:56 AM                     The 'older' ones used a regular screw-base bulb that had a special smooth base (with orienting pin-hole) soldered on. I just gave away about 20 of them. I'm sure many operators got burned fingers from changing out that lamp. The exciter supply was AC, which was a really stupid thing to supply with an otherwise good projector.  |  IP: Logged Richard Fowler Film God Posts: 2392 From: Ft.

Vic 8 about 20 year old, does it have DC or AC exciter lamp supply and if someone have dimenzion or picture of exciter bulb, or even type? Thanks!  |  IP: Logged
