For Sale: 100Amp Portable Subpanel W/ 18Gfi Outlets
rtbuckles replied to rtbuckles's topic in Announcements
I have to get rid of this, so the price is lowered to $150 -
Hi everyone, I have for sale a 100 amp portable subpanel. Basically, it is a 125 amp box mounted on plywood with 9 outlet boxes on one side and 9 on the other. Each outlet has its own 20 amp breaker and all the outlets are GFI. The box has a 100 amp main line breaker and a main line to hook into your existing power box. I used this 2 years ago and it worked awesome. I am moving and have to get rid of it. I am asking $200 for it. I spent well over $350 for all the supplies to make it. I live in Monterey, Ca and would be willing to meet you or ship it to you. If you have any questions or want to see some more pictures, let me know.

All the lights are sold. Thanks

Thanks for the replies. I have some extra channels, so I think I will use multiple channels for a better effect. Thanks again.

I have 200 brand new boxes of 100 ct green on green walmart mini lights and 150 brand new boxes of 100 ct white on green Lowes mini lights that I need to get rid of. If anyone is interested, I am only asking $1 a box. These are all brand new and in the box. I live in the Monterey Bay area and will be at the Morro Bay get together this weekend if anyone is interested.

How many curtain strobes can you put on one channel. I just got 40 strobes from a PC member and there is no marking on them as to how much current they draw. They are from Christmas Light Show.com.

rtbuckles replied to njwatkins1's topic in Lights
Nick, I have 300 boxes of 100ct green on green brand new from Walmart. I bought them last year and have no use for them. I would get rid of them for $1 a box. I live in Ca, so shipping might not make it worth it, but let me know. -
California Christmas Lights Get Together And Bbq, September 24th!
rtbuckles replied to DocMartin's topic in California
Doc, I just saw the post for the California get together. I live up in Monterey and might be able to make it. I have to talk to the wife first and get permission. I will try to let you know in the next couple of days. How many people are attending so far? -
I have had numerous people knock on my door at 10:01 because the show just shut off and they did not get to see it. We dont even answer the door anymore when the show is on.

Interesting Things People Have Said About Your Display
rtbuckles replied to XmasBoy's topic in Computerized Displays
That is too funny. I get asked the same questions about the radio station every night. I dont know why it is so hard to explain the FM transmitter to everyone. -
People are watching and complimenting on my first show Yea!
rtbuckles replied to amd250's topic in Computerized Displays
That is awesome!! -
When your show is not running, what are your lights doing?
rtbuckles replied to jonnyci's topic in Computerized Displays
Our show is about 40 minutes and then we have a 5 minute intermission after each show. There is music playing during the intermission, but the lights are static and only fade to different colors a few times during the 5 minutes. We also had Demented Elf do a voiceover at the end of the show saying that the next show will start in 5 minutes. The intermission just follows the show and everything runs on a loop. The intermission really helps to get traffic moving. Hope this helps out. -
haha, thats too funny. A couple of year ago, when Target went 75% off, I found a whole case of white LED's that someone had hidden behind the multi color minis.
