Oh, that's just evil. What a thing to do to a poor school!
On the other hand, this was one of the best fixture lines ever made, in my opinion; so it may be worth it as parts to keep an existing inventory alive. Even when new and in production, getting parts from the manufacturer was difficult.
Those units hate me, we just don't play well together. If I had an inventory of these units and wanted to add a couple and have some parts on hand this would be a good buy. Buying these just to add straights to inventory...... Ok maybe if you get them for $200 but I wouldn't really want to do it.
And it would easily be another $200 to transport them to Las Vegas. If I wanted a pile of broken lights, I know plenty of places locally.
As a matter of fact, when one lighting company bought out another some years back, they received two semi-trailers full of <an Italian Moving Light Manufacturer's> parts. I think they may be sorting through them still.
Hey, I have about 50 of those in my inventory, I will gladly sell them if anyone wants them. Though, they do work very well, sometimes you just need to kick them to get them to focus.
