I'd post it on eBay, Craigslist or here on the CB Classifieds (once you accumulate 15 posts) before tossing it. Start it out at a real low price; someone will buy it. It's very likely that it still has some valuable parts inside. Replacement lenses for example can be very expensive, and someone might be looking for a cheap replacement. I'd buy it just for the stand, except for the fact that I'm on the other side of the country and shipping would be a killer
.
One could also really use the
iris, mechanical
dimmer and
shutter/
chopper.
Edit: Heck, I could also really use the color
boom. I'm rebuilding a 1000Q and my color
boom handles and
gel rings need replacing. Not sure if the rings are the same size, but it might be worth a shot.
Another idea is just to gut it of any valuable parts and keep them around as spares. Sometimes having a spare
lens on
hand can be a good idea assuming that you have another Voyager that may someday need it. I'd keep the stand around also because, hey, you never know when you might need a good, sturdy stand for something. If at all possible, only toss out the shell. Everything else could be of use to somebody. What part of the spot failed? I'm assuming it's something to do with the
ballast/ignitor?
