Author Topic: Which brass adapter to use with barco/Osram 6500 lamp Henning Anderson Film Handler Posts: 27 From: Esbjerg, Denmark Registered: Jan 2001 posted 01-19-2013 05:03 AM                     hi , I'm in a bit of trouble. I'm going to change the bulb in a barco projector, but i can't remember which brass adapter to use. the new bulb is an Osram 6500. The last bulb was an Ushiro and that uses another adapter. My alzheimer is getting the better of me :-)the adapters all have number engraved in them. if some one could help me, please  |  IP: Logged Marco Giustini Film God Posts: 2713 From: Reading, UK Registered: Nov 2007 posted 01-19-2013 08:34 AM                     Assuming it's an "XL" lamphouse and the information I have on the install manual of the 32B are correct for your model, for a 6.5 Osram you need R8436081K cathode adaptor and R864132K Anode adaptation bushing. I reckon the XL lamphouse is the same since the DP90, but the above information may or may not be good for you.  |  IP: Logged Henning Anderson Film Handler Posts: 27 From: Esbjerg, Denmark Registered: Jan 2001 posted 01-19-2013 08:37 AM                     Oh yes. I forgot to write that the Barco model in question is a DP4K 32B. thank you for your reply. I'll look for the correct one in the small bag of adapters that came with the projector.  |  IP: Logged Marco Giustini Film God Posts: 2713 From: Reading, UK Registered: Nov 2007 posted 01-19-2013 09:10 AM                     Well in that case it should be correct. The 6.5kW lamp can only be installed in the XL lamphouse.  |  IP: Logged Henning Anderson Film Handler Posts: 27 From: Esbjerg, Denmark Registered: Jan 2001 posted 01-19-2013 12:41 PM                     Thank you, Marco. That was of great help to me. I found the right adapter and tomorrow i'll find the time to change the bulb. Thank you again.  |  IP: Logged Marco Giustini Film God Posts: 2713 From: Reading, UK Registered: Nov 2007 posted 01-19-2013 03:44 PM                     Anytime!  |  IP: Logged Dave Macaulay Film God Posts: 2321 From: Toronto, Canada Registered: Apr 2001 posted 01-22-2013 06:37 PM                     make sure you find the little sleeve adapter for the anode end, the lamp pin is much smaller than the UV plate anode support: you can "make it work" in desperation without the adapter but the lamp Y adjuster is way off centre for peak brightness, and the lamp tends to move around as it heats up, driving the CLO system a bit mental.  |  IP: Logged Henning Anderson Film Handler Posts: 27 From: Esbjerg, Denmark Registered: Jan 2001 posted 01-23-2013 10:24 AM                     Dave, I have the little ring adapter in place. That was the easy part. I confused myself with the many brass adapters for the other end Thanks to this wonderful forum it took less than 1 hour to get a reply.  |  IP: Logged
