Thank you.

Hi Thanks for that. The capacitors were there as I can see the remains of the old ones, however, given what you have said, do I actually need to get them replaced ? Thanks again, Glenn.

Hello, Me again. Can anyone recomend a supplier for the 24v 250w lamp holders - as per twister 4's etc. I can only find the lower wattage and voltage ones. Thanks again, Glenn

Hello, I must admit I haven't posted for a while but having read the other datamoon threads I think I will ask for some help and advice. I have two datamoons that I am giving the once over and both of them need a component replaced on the PCB, the location on the board is marked "C8" so I am guessing capacitors are required (can that be confirmed??), but can anyone tell me what rating these should be, and where I might get them from. The 'moons in question are the ones built in china - if that makes any difference. Thanks for the help, Glenn.

I have heard that high pitched feed back can damage speakers but i don't know about the humming. Would be interesting to find out though. Over to the speaker wizz kids I guess :shrug:

Good call It's a Carlsbro mic. It is a UHF model but it was sub£100 when I bought it and apart from the humming it's a good mic. I am sure it is something simple to fix, like adjusting the squelch or changing the leads etc. It's one of those jobs that seems to get pushed to the back of the to do list if you know what I mean. You can't hear the hum when the music is playing and I do use a corded mic too. Good luck, Glenn.

Hi, First post for a while but this one caught my eye. I had a similar annoying buzzing through my rig. I did everything that has been suggested in the other posts and in the end it came down to interference coming through my radio mic receiver - just a thought, but it is something else worth checking I guess (supposing you have a radio mic that is ) See ya, Glenn

Hi all, This may well be in the wrong place, but..... Now, I don't want to be accused of trying to teach people to suck eggs but from my experiences this last week I would like to encourage everyone to make sure sure their P.C's virus protection is running upto date and correctly. After several days of frantic phone calls and calling in favours from friends, I have now managed (some what expensively) to recover from an trojan horse attack. The virus hit after I opened a few emails (all from known sources) and unknowingly opened a link informing me my P.C was infected - open

According to the email I received, they state they no longer sell lasers. However I saw them still on the site as well when I was looking into my own machine - just a bit confusing ! Glenn.

Hi I recenttly contacted them about a laser that I picked up second hand. They took a while to reply to me but they freely gave me all the info I needed. I can confirm though, that they no longer do lasers. Cheers, Glenn

Hi, I use a zoom Z30. It is an awesome machine and chucks thousands of bubbles high and far but, having now used it I would think long and hard before buying another the same. The tray that holds the fluid is very flimsy and mine has now been repaired twice. Emptying the tray at the end of the night is a bit fidley as you have to prop open the lid at the same time as pulling out the tray. Also, although it comes with a hanging bracket, the thought of a machine that size hanging from a gantry is quite off-putting. If you can live with that then yes they are very good.

Hi I am with VOKF on this one - I use a bubble machine but only run it for a few seconds (that's all the time it needs, it's more of a bubble monster) every so often. I think it's the same with a lot of things in life - moderation rules.......! Glenn. Edit - I will add that if a venue or customer does not allow or want bubbles, the machine stays on the van.

Hi all. I have re-advertised and re-contacted past clients and the phone has started ringing again and some future bookings are starting to come in (at last). However, I am still very quiet in the short term, so... If anyone needs someone to pass a gig or two on to in the Suffolk area, please give me a call, I may be able to help. I usually work within a 40 mile radius of home (Wickham Market) but would be happy to travel further if travelling allowances were taken into consideration. I am able to play comfortably to audiences of upto 150ish people and am experienced with Wedd

Arrgghhh - speed bumps :damn: Not much fun in a full works van either. These things are sent to try us, apparently Keep smelling Glenn.

Closely followed by Cambridge - I was there today, there's loads of speed cameras, traffic lights and cyclists with death wishes ! :damn: Cheers again, Glenn.

Well.......... I am prepared to believe in "the beyond" but still need convincing, however I have had the following experiences: I used to be the Maintenance manager at large department store in Ipswich and the job used to keep me on site until all sorts of bizarre hours. The building itself was built in the early 90's on the site of an old Monastery (an archeological dig etc was carried out before building started). I would regularly see shadows moving across the floors and often had the feeling of being watched. I also used to find dirty footprints in the carpets that were well awa

Hi Mate, The online videos do make the light look good and like you I am concerned how this influences the images. I've made the the mistake of buying on spec in the past and have no wish to do it again. I will have to try the (not so) local DJ shops and see if anyone has them in. Cheers, Glenn.

Hi all, I have been looking at the on line demo's for the Equinox Triclops and while it looks pretty good on the 'puter, I was just wondering if anyone had any first hand experience of one? I am interested to know what they are like in the real world. Anyone got one yet.......? Cheers, Glenn.

Hi Jason, Thanks for that, I will check them out. Glenn.

Thanks Jim, I will give it a go Glenn

Hi, My web site construction is coming along painfully slowly at present but I am at a point where I need to add some photo's to add some visual impact. I have done a quick internet search for photo's to use but all that I have found so far are watermarked etc by others. Does any know of a site that I can legally aquire copy-right free, non watermarked and preferably free (!!) photo's that I can use. The sort of thing I am after is generic Wedding stuff like cakes, rings and flowers etc along with generic party stuff. I am going to assume that most stuff available will be wate

Hi all It's the Wife's birthday this weekend so I am out with herself this weekend. Typically though, I have had to decline one gig and reccomend a DJ mate for the other. Cheers, Glenn.

Hi I've decided to stick with the CD players. After some investigation (see other threads) it seems it is not as straight forward as I thought it should be to change over to digital..... :scared: Cheers, Glenn.

Thanks for the input everyone. It makes more sense now. So, a sound card with it's own memory is a good option - can anyone suggest a few and, is the one that Mcelec mentions one of these type. Thanks, Glenn.
