Default How to Get Rid of Kliegl Lights

We have about 20 Kliegel ellipsoidals that were handed down to us from Radio City Music Hall....We just don't use them anymore, mostly because we don't think they are safe.

I was just wondering how in the world to get rid of them, and possibly make a little bit of money at the same time. My feeling is that the best place for them would be in a collectors basement or in an eatery that decorates in an eclectic style...

How would you go about getting rid of them?

1st off why don't you think they're safe?

2nd off the best way to dispose of them would be to contact a local scrap metal yard and make a little money off of them.

They are not safe because the internal wires are melted, the sockets need to be replaced, the paint on them is not fire resistant, and other such things....

Please post a list, and/or pictures. I'm interested. PM me. Are any 1355/8? or 1357/8?

Don't scrap them; they're HISTORY! Go to Kliegl Bros. Universal Electric Stage Lighting Company for more identification.

Looking more closely at the picture I posted: Isn't it interesting that in 1965, Grounding was an option? Probably cost a lot more for that extra, asbestos-covered, wire, too! And what exactly is an Iris Shutter? Yes, kiddies, there WAS a time when an ERS could come with shutters, iris, or pattern slot, but only one at a time! The 1365 did not support templates, one had to open the fixture and paper clip them into the gate. Makes one take extra care to get the proper orientation the first time!

Good times, fond memories. Love the 750/T14 lamp--medium bipost, and very susceptible to becoming "pregnant". Should have used a truss condom. Boy, is my mind is in the gutter today!

Highslide JS

And we have more than I thought; the number is closer to 30.....

Pictures still to come (when I can get this site to accept some form that I have)
