Hi folks,
Total forum newbie here, driven by desperation...
I do project planning and installation for a large church retreat facility, which includes a 100+ year old barn. After a volunteer came scarily close to burning it down with the old 'linseed oil-soaked rags in the trash' trick, we installed a tandem system consisting of a UPS, six GE 350CX's, and an external strobe and annunciator. Works great, no problems. Until...
We created another occupied area within the barn, and want to add a 350CX there as well. No big deal since up to 12 units can be connected. But -- I cannot find one for love nor money. I've contacted probably a dozen vendors, and the answer is inevitably, "Discontinued, no replacement." Arg.
The system is only about 2 years old, so there is plenty of life left in the existing units. If was approaching the 10-year replacement period, I'd say fine, toss them all, and go with another manufacturer's tandem photo unit.
But I'd really like to avoid tossing and replacing the existing units, so first I thought I'd post here to see if anyone had any knowledge of a replacement for the 350CX (or any other suggestions). I've even contacted UTC, but all I got was the same thing, a very terse, "discontinued, no replacement."
Thanks,
Keith
