Ok, so I know we generally hate these fixtures, and they have long been discontinued by
Altman, but does anyone know where I can find framing shutters for these units? I was recently given 2 of the
1kl 20 degree fixtures and neither of them have any at all. I could get a few more (still no shutters) but I'm reluctant to because they don't have the lamp base or mounting plate assemblies. I thought they would be too hard to find so I left them behind. Good idea or should I get them anyway?? I powered up one of the one's I have and it was definitely better than nothing! Not a bad beam of light coming out, just very heavy and cumbersome. Still not complaining about free stuff though!
Other than that I guess you could say I hit the jackpot because I was also given 2 15/32
Strand SL Zooms, 2 50 degree SL's, 1 36 degree SL, and 1 26 degree SL. If you read some of my last posts you will see that I am not the biggest Strand SL fan, but since they were free and hardly used I am not complaining!!! He (the tech director of the
theatre) didn't want them because they didn't stock the lamps, only HPL's.
I also took with me 5 Altman 6x12's without lamp cap assemblies (but fairly new units), 4 Altman 6x9's that need new bases, 11 6" 65Q
Fresnel's that just need to be painted, and 3 perfectly good 16" scoops.
I'm up to my ears in stage lights!!
I think I might try and get rid of my 4 Kliegls (or century, or whatever-they-are's) now...
