Definate debate about what to do with the
asbestos shown, but otherwise and also this isn't just a
plug and
play type of thing to start using again or "home owner" type restoration project.
DTJ lamp is discontinued by GE, probably Phillips and while still listed as available by Ushio, it will become special order or discontinued soon I think. Fuji might still make it also but not a lamp overall one can depend on getting replacements on for long. Ushio part [HASHTAG]#1000221[/HASHTAG] it is seemingly still made.
http://www.ushio.com/files/catalog/PAVENT19-24.pdf#search="dtj" Should be like $25 to $40.00 per lamp debendant on brand still made.
DTA lamp is also another 1.5Kw lamp long life version in a little less output

I have not checked
current availability of the DTA lamps.
A
fixture that could be professionally "saved" and restored -but and any further use of it would require that. It would take a lot of wora k in fixing and replacing small parts, wiring, refining or replacing the
socket and wiring
etc. and than there is no real lamp viable with
followspot output for this light which would make it still serviceable once these are discontinued. Sorry, but short of re-inventing the wheel on this light which would be very expensive, there is no viable option for making it a follospot again for the long term for a lamp or
LED which would make it work. Again to
restore it, like $600.00 at best and more likely a lot more in otherwise museum piece and no other work done. Would want to get in writing what was done to
restore/preserve it so it doesn't start rusting
thru,
etc. and perhaps post what work will be done w/o the price so we don't do bidding wars... or with approximated price if seemingly way too high.
Museum piece for your theater's
lobby in these lamps are not going to be on the market long? Might
call around to local scene shops, lighting companies and theater suppliers + colleges to see how much it would cost to just remove the wiring and vaccume, than spray with Windex and wipe residuein the
fixture so its' safe for display. Suspect it would cost like $600.00, but hope that would also include oiling/tapping rusting screws
etc. in preserving the light for storage/display. Bulk of that price in official
asbestos removal costs.
A shame if this found
followspot goes to trash, be nice if preserved but I think cost to
restore it is well on the way to a new
followspot for the theater if that's the need. Bag the light and put it away with noting what's in it and what it needs. Put it into storage with cautions otherwise to save up for a future generation to
restore I think the best option.
