I know these are fairly heavy with 3 motors! Nice one Ray! Collected it today from Norwich got it home checked out the electrics prior to plugging it in all ok except a loose wire on the supply. Very similar to the Clay Paky astrodisco (I have got 2) I need a bit more space me thinks Professional DJ Since 1983 - Having worked in Clubs, Pubs, Mobile and Radio in the UK and Europe 29 Years Experience and still learning.

gadget 0 Posted March 1, 2010 Report Share Posted March 1, 2010 Love it! Does it just have the one bulb in the centre or is it made up of several bulbs? I always was intrigued how they got power to the middle bit with all that spinning around, etc. :) Cheers, David DJ David Graham Tel: 01204 537716 / 01942 418415 Email: hello@djgraham.co.uk FB: http://facebook.com/djdavidgraham Web: [under construction - it really is coming soon :)] Link to post Share on other sites

I saw a prototype a few moths ago but it was even bigger than the original because the LEDs aren't bright enough so it has huge magnifying lenses on it.

superstardeejay 0 Posted April 23, 2010 Report Share Posted April 23, 2010 Im not sure if its the lights that I like or the memories of clubs that used these lights...they are certainly brighter and visually more stunning IMHO than alot of this modern chinese rag-bag tit-tat LED DMX RGB CMYK XLR rubbish they ship over today. The superclubs of the 80's and early 90's were bigger, busier swankier places than the postage-stamp dancefloors of Edwards' Bars and uber-chic shots-bars that we have today, and I suppose they needed similarly large effects to fill them! Imagine a Miracled in The Ritzy Sheffield? Or a Dynarock on the ceiling of Mr Smith's Warrington? OK so I'm listing Hitman and Her venues now but you get the idea... .

Certainly not like the ole pinspot type lights of old, and all the related Neon tubing about some of the big clubs at the time...

Raymilkybarkid 0 Posted April 24, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2010 The days of the Super Club seem to have passed. This was what got me into restoring these classic lights, for me they are far better than the new mass maufactured cheap lights of today. Working in the clubs in the 80's along side the Light Jockey was a great combination. I frequented a club recently and wondered what happened to the Light Jockeys? when did the DJ take over or was it the machine?
