Thomann was great helping me source my tour hazer. They setup my account for me and communicated every step of the way. I would have zero issue ordering from them again.

I've also got one of these, bought on Norty's recommendation. Seems to work well although I have nothing else to compare it with. They are sturdier than they look though and easy to fit / remove..Quote:

PVC, in a diameter that will slide over yer stand-pole (likely 1 1/2" (?), Or, any 'adapter insert' that you might have for speakers, etc..Quote:

To accomodate for any down-flex from the weight, you can slowly 'soften' the PVC w/ a prop. torch / flame spreader (careful of fumes! :) and 'open the El-bend' a bit..
..I've used this 'PVC pipe' + ratchet-straps technique for making outdoor 'Bounce Mirror Trees' for hard-to-mount-to posts (like fluted building columns, etc..) Works great, and the Sched 80 is both 'tough-enough' / resists flexing, and quick to mod / drill mount-holes, etc, as-needed.. :cool:
Again, not a 'for Pro use' suggestion, but.. Trust me, will be FINE for lightweight / home use.. Paint it black, and everyone will be like 'Wow, where'd you get that awesome PJ-mount??' :)
fwiw... :cool:

Interesting idea Jon -
And definitely the least expensive - and most readily available - of any of the options I've looked at so far!
How much weight have you been able to support with this method?
The PII projector I might need to support weighs in at around 31 lbs...

So, in-close to the El, you should be fine.. Finding the right 'balance point' will be important, but... You should be able to 'experiment' quickly / easily, and certainly inexpensively.. (..but, I might suggest experimenting over a couple mattresses.. :pQuote:

From: "Wiki" *retardo
"No Sex Please, We're British is a British farce written by Alistair Foot and Anthony Marriott, which premiered in London's West End on 3 June 1971.[1] It was unanimously panned by critics, but played to full houses until 1987 at three different theatres (the Strand, the Garrick and the Duchess), totalling 6,761 performances."
Attachment 47569 However:
"It did not share the same success with American audiences, running for only 16 performances on Broadway in early 1973." :(
So I will forgive your higorants ! >:)
Cheers :)
PS. Tea has approximately 3 x amount of soluble caffeine than propa coffee (café solo- no agua chirli yanki !) quite apart from the thanine !
So yeah, U could consider it a kind of prehistoric viagra. :cool:
..Ah, well I thank thee for the Theater-edukashun, kind Old geezer-Sir.. :) Thus, may all your afternoons be filled with plenty of excellent Tea and Strumpets.. *retardoQuote:

Attachment 47584 Touché :o
Attachment 47583 I find that old CRT tube swivel and tip thingamejigs on a "tophat" speaker tripod work great, they give enough "tip" to work anywhere.
Cheers :)
