Default Re: Kliegl DynaBeam Fixture

Yep, I did replace all wiring other than to the fan which while kind of sketchy was still for the most part ok sufficiently that it worked and I was impressed that the fan itself worked after this many years.

On lamps, the CYX or maby DPY could be done as a concept but as said, I do such fixtures as part of my living and the wiring can be dangerous as a health risk. Don't attempt to rewire such a thing on your own in this case beyond Leko rewiring mentioned in the past because it's a bit more involved and larger in size.

Still, it was a great project and every time I go to the front office I see my fixture standing out above anything else there. Cool project. Just gotta see the various arms and gears working in functioning and it's something that just works but is so simple in concept that you can learn lots from it.

Next up for me in carrot on a stick is some Reich & Vogul scene machines with all accessories that I got out of NIU by way of the Lyric Opera of Chicago. This in addition to my Century #1560's that were just found in a storage trailer packed years ago and returned to me. Two 2KW in theory 8x9 fixtures that are more like 8x16 but great cannons of lights which I re-wired a few years ago and now in getting back sit atop my moving light lamp overstock cabinet as a sort of gateway to my department. Once I get the museum rolling, they should balance the MoleLipsos of similar size and beam plus lamp well in look except these are radial and the Mole Lekos are radial.

Quite the museum I'm building.
