Television Lift Mechanism
"RJ" Whelan
>I�m going to start a commission in a few weeks that involves building a cabinet approximately 32� high x 24� deep x 80� wide. The cabinet will look very much like a buffet/server/hunt board but will house home theatre equipment and a plasma television.
The plasma television will rise out of the cabinet for viewing.
Which brings me to my question:
My research seems to indicate the oldest and most reliable company producing lift mechanisms is Auton in Orange County, California. I have gotten a quote for a Model #1000.5P � the basic specs are as follows:
Width � up to 40�
Depth � 9�
Travel � 25�
Amps � 2.3
Capacity � 150#
At $3000 (retail) I darn sure don�t want to buy the wrong product as I�m pretty sure I�d have to have divine intervention to return it.
Has anyone every used this manufacturer?
Do you have a suggestion for a different manufacturer? Cost is really not a big factor in the decision as the client didn�t even ask for an estimate � they based their decision on seeing another custom entertainment cabinet I build last winter.
Thanks for any suggestions �. rj
