Default What are these?

I recently picked up some lights off of ebay, just a random lot of instruments. I did this for the two pars in the middle of the pic. But I was wondering what the other two lights are, I'm thinking about just chunking them, but was just wondering what these were.

You got yourself some old Radial ERSs. Even if you don't plan on using them, I wouldn't throw them away, that's a piece of history you've got there.

I have 4 of the ones on the right. I think they're pretty cool. Well not literally. I believe they are Kliegl. I like how the shutter assembly is designed, as well as the spun aluminum lens tube. These are also pre-gobo :-)

Use care--there might be asbestos in those fixtures.

Two are PAR64 units, and two look like Kliegl elliposidals.

Actually, the dumpster might be the right place for them, even considering history.

yes I physically have them, they have no markings on them and the one on the right does not even have a lens... the one on the left has one lens that looks like an inverted fresnel.

I bought this for the 2 par 64s

Steve, none of the fixtures have any wiring, would any asbestos be in the actual fixture?

Any fluffy white wiring would be a red flag. Generally, the bad stuff was used on the power cord and was terminated by a crimp. I have not seen any used for the light bases on pars, but I have not seen every par ever built. The lekos might have it right up to the screw terminals on the base, but it looks like yours have the bases missing.

Nah, I think he was referring to the pigtail hanging out of the par 64. An Altman 6x12 lens tube should fit right in that lens-less leko and give a decent beam.
