[SML] S4 bench focus...

[Riter, Andrew]

Never seen that, but then I don’t use many 36deg units.

I have needed to put a wrench on the XY knob on occasion, and that shatters the plastic flange part, so I replace the damn thing anyway.

(“if it jams, force it; if it breaks, it needed replacing anyways.”  -- my father. . . . .  or was it Murphy?)

Lighting folks,

Have any of you had an issue with the outer (XY) knob/nut seizing the aluminum hub casting? We have... I've had to drill out 3 of them this year - all from units that had been assigned 36 degree lenses. It seems like that hub casting is heating up more from having to pull the Z adjustment so far into the reflector and seizing on the outer nut as a result. Is there some way to prevent that deformation?

TIA,
Steven R. Hood
