aphatboy Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 We have a large stage curtain which goes across the front of the stage. The wires have come off its pulley wheel and I cannot seem to get the wires back on the reel without the wire being too slack and the curtain not being able to close fully. Have tried a few times now. Are there any suffolk/essex based companies or people who would be able to assist. The wires may even need replacing as they are getting rather frayed. Any sugestions or assisstance would be much appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robloxley Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 For future reference, Centre Stage Engineering in Thetford are another option, amongst I'm sure many others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ojc123 Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 At our school we had a wire on a drum system. It came off a few times. I got fed up and had it replaced with a rope system which has given no trouble. I think the wire drum didn't do with the over-enthusiasm of some of our staff and students. Doesn't answer your question but just my experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They suggested a rope system to replace our 'wire on a drum' system.The trouble is they said they charge £200 just to come and look at our set up!

J Pearce Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 Its a bit of an art putting it all back together, but is much easier if you can lock the tensioning springs tight somehow, and lift the winding drum if possible (if floor mounted there is often a bit of length on the bolts that hold the drum axle).

In these tough times, if they want the job they should do the site visit for costs or less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
