From Andy's post on the ALIA web sit: Draft of Test & Tag standard available for comment Posted on Monday, November 23rd, 2009 The draft of DR 3760, In-service safety inspection and testing of electrical equipment is available to comment on. The closing date for comment on this draft Standard is 12 February 2010. This draft is a revision of AS/NZS 3760:2003, and specifies procedures for the safety inspection and testing of low voltage single phase and polyphase electrical equipment, connected to the electrical supply by a flexible cord and/or connecting device. This draft also includes fixed RCDs and portable inverters. NOTE — Additional requirements for portable generators are covered by AS/NZS 3012. [Hint: This draft will look VERY much like the final version which will cost you abut $100 to buy, so it's well worth downloading - even if you don't intend to make a comment.] You can download a copy of this draft from the ALIA web site. http://www.alia.com.au/standards/Draft_3760.doc

No her gear is used all the

No her gear is used all the time.

I do store some of my gear in "out of test: status." Particularly some very specialised kit I own and some of my older kit that doesn't get used often. If the need arises it gets cleaned checked and repaired if necessary before it goes out. This year however I am looking at everything I own and stripping some of the older gear for parts to keep the stock going.
Charging is an issue.
1/ I don't like to undercut others too much it screws them up. Some people however in my opinion overcharge madly.
2/ I understand very clearly how much it costs to keep a small theatre running and don't want to make it more difficult.
3/ I need to make a living or I won't be here to help out in future.
Balancing those three can be a major head issue.


Is that all there is? Well if that's all there is my friend, then let's keep dancing.
