I just took my entire rig down for a deep clean (6 250 washes, 6 250 Krypton and 4 250 Entour) all went smoothly (which is rare) and apart from the fact that the smoke fluid I use is clearly causing massive build ups of dust, the rig located and ran as fine.

Good evening folks. I've been given the use of two Martin Mac 250 Entours for a couple of weeks in return for cleaning and servicing them. They've been sitting in a corner of a night club for two years with exploded bulbs inside of them, and probably also need lubricated (one of the shutters used to stick when I worked with them four years ago). My questions:
Martin Mac 250
- Any tips for this task? I've found the service manual for them, but any wisdom borne of experience would be appreciated. One thing I'm concerned about: the owner's manual calls for a teflon-based lube, while the service manual calls for a silicone lube. What's up with that?
- I don't have anything to control them with. Any recommendations for software/controllers that will work with an iPad? I'm looking at Luminair, but I can't get a good sense of whether it will work with the Mac 250s, or what kind of DMX interface I need to be able to go from wifi to DMX. (All the Art-Net interfaces I've looked at are expensive as hell, and Ethernet only).
Thanks in advance!
