Wow thank you for the quick reply but could you guess the manufacturer?
Its a Par64 with a scroller built on to the front, I also was told they were the first of the scroller units, I had about a dozen or so of these, for the life of me I cant remember what they were called....they were controlled from a briefcase controller. I do not have possession of them anymore...
Sorry I cant be of more help, if I think of the name I will let you know....

Will ask some old timers at work about the scroller and can. Minds eye for me at least says something Creative Stage lighting for at least the can. Could be lots of PAR can brand and I'll look to see if I have one similar known. Brand of can perhaps could lead to brand of scroller though believe brands like I think Scimmer in name something like that would be original. Could be totally wrong in never much paid attention to scrollers.

Sorry but the link didn't work
Any idea WHERE the photos were taken? For some reason I suspect the UK. If I had to guess, I'd say a Thomas (James Thomas Engineering) parcan with a Rainbow (Rainbo? Chameleon?) scroller. I've never seen a Wybron scroller with spools that wrap around the fixture like that.
ColorWiz? ColorMax? (both Wybron products, but sold by GAM, Great American Market). Oh, or another non-DMX colour-changer, the ColourMag from LSD, Lighting & Sound Design.
These are the same exact build look like the ones I had except mine were black. The scroller is permanently attached to the front of the par, and if I remember, it had a 8 color scroll.... and they were heavy...
I let mine go (to a high school that had nothing) as I could not get the suitcase controller to work properly, but I still have the hundreds of feet of cable for them, not sure why, but there you go...surprised I got rid of them, I dont throw much away(hard to get away from stock thought process) my wif hates that...
I do know of one gentleman that could probably tell you more than you ever wanted to know, but alas I have lost his contact info, I will look again when I get to work tomorrow...
Do you have some? or just interested in them?

Veri-lite[sic] or Vari*Lite? If the latter, I don't recall Vari*Lite ever being in the par can market. They started with the VL-0 moving head and pretty much went up from there.
What in particular is it about these fixtures you want to get back? Is it the collectible/nostalgic nature, or are you just wanting a par can with a scroller?

It looks like the cooling slots are different. CSL has vertical
