Ed Conley Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 30 year old magnetic ballast. I just can't recall brand or who was the original manufacturer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Falcon Posted May 1, 2018 Author Share Posted May 1, 2018 30 year old magnetic ballast. But it has a flicker-free button on it. Could it be magnetic? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed Conley Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 (edited) My 4 sources here all say Italian made Mag ballast but can't recall manufacturer.I worked at a rental place in the early 90's that had these and I believe we dad these paired with Arri 1200 Fresnels.My repair guy said the Italian company pretty much made all the ballasts during those years. Arri, Desisti, Strand. Edited May 3, 2018 by Ed Conley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Adrian Sierkowski Posted May 3, 2018 Premium Member Share Posted May 3, 2018 Let's just call it Eduardo then; Eduardo is a good name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JD Hartman Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 Irem are made in Italy, might be one. I'd check inside for a marked circuit board or other large part like a power transformer. No label anywhere on the ballast? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Falcon Posted May 5, 2018 Author Share Posted May 5, 2018 According to Gilbert at Galaxy Repair, it's an Arri Walker Power 575/1200X electronic ballast. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JD Hartman Posted May 5, 2018 Share Posted May 5, 2018 Hmmm...company based in Mt. Laurel, NJ, but the product Phil showed is not sold in the USA? Must be made in metric units so it appear bigger, but still fits on the tiny Craft Services tables on shoots in the UK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
