Premium Members Rick Drapkin Posted February 26, 2004 Premium Members Report Share Posted February 26, 2004 Hi Everyone, I was wondering if anyone out there has an old master 5" monitor that they aren't using anymore. I was told at tiffen that the cost to replace the high voltage power supply would cost $ 1250. for the part and 3 hours labor at $ 95 . an hour. Anyone out there have any suggestions? Anyone out there flying the transvideo 6" cinemonitor III ? I'm interested in your feedback. thank you , Rick " I'm in the wrong end of this business " Drapkin drapkin4@adelphia.net (818) 980-4121 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members Erwin Landau Posted February 27, 2004 Premium Members Report Share Posted February 27, 2004 Hey Rick, Didn't we tell you to stay away from that rig??? $1600.- Bucks doesn't sound to bad for a Monitor repair, especially for a High Voltage Power Supply. I remember my first estimate for my Power Supply for my PRO 1, $8000.- Plus... Before they declared it as a total loss. I would take it in consideration. Also your Insurance should cover that repair, minus dedacable, if you have the Mechanical failire clause in your Policy. Anyhow... Jon Myers has a Master Rig that he uses for Rentals, he also has a monitor that was living in his Living room the last time I saw it. The rig goes always out with a 7" Panasonic LCD. Jon also uses his Transvideo Cine III on his own Rig as primary Monitor. You can contact him through this forum, he is a member, or call me for his number (818-448-2639). Good Luck.

Premium Members WillArnot Posted February 29, 2004 Premium Members Report Share Posted February 29, 2004 I know Ron Waters also has a backup 5" CRT for his Master rig, I sold him my old package. I had the whole sled overhauled at Tiffen, and that Hi-voltage power supply had to be replaced. Once they figured out that it was a problem they went ahead and replaced it without calling me. Cost about what you are talking about. But I coulda' killed 'em, cause I had that spare 5" sitting around I coulda taken the pwr. supply from. Anyway now Ron has two really good 5" master CRT monitors, maybe he would want to sell you one. You can reach him @ (917) 763 3744.
