Game Show Time

Well it has been an eventful day. Once I finally got off my but to do some work, I finally got the studio color to work. After much trial and error, I finally found the problem. Usually when a studio color has a problem it is due to a motor seizing, or a belt braking. The unit only has 2 sensors for 6 motors, so three each. When you have problems with one sensor, it is usually one of the three motors that cause all three wheels to not work right because the sensor can't do its job. Well what it turned out to be was that focus motor was out of balance. Something I haven't encountered before, but troubleshooting paid off. It only took about 2 hours. But at least I know what to look for in the future. It might also explain some of the other problems I have around the ship.

The parade went well, except for the fact that half of the Mac 500 weren't lamped on. It took me at least half an hour to get most of the on. Some I just gave up on as we were half way throughout the parade and it only lasts 12 minutes.

Now its on to the Quest. The Cruise Director liked the powerpoint that I made for preshow. Many thanks to the sound tech for helping with the Spanish translations.

Well I think I have some ques coming up so I better get off the computer.
