I know the Atheneum Theater in Chicago has six of thes
Colortran lights (note to self, I don’t have one in antiques museum yet.) Might be able to borrow
gel frame/
gobo holder from them for copy otherwise if not available. Somewhat difficult to make
gel frames and
gobo holders, but can be done if one thinks
thru how to do it. Remember you need a spacer between the fold as one part of that.
What might be more interesting would be a upgrade to the lamp/lamp
socket assembly. I think while at risk of heat damage to the
reflector and having to widen it’s lamp opening in the
reflector, otherwise the upgraded lamp to say a GLA should work fine without heat problems to the
fixture.
Cursed the Mini-Ellipse for the years I had to use them, think the lenses are also green - at least in the
Colortran version. Atheneum acquired my old theater’s
Leko’s. If they don’t have
gel frames or
gobo holders, sorry in my mistake - they would be in my
gel file storage box. I do remember we bought
gobo holders for at least some of the lights also. If they say they don’t have either, have them contact me.
