Graphite in being a darker color also absorbes heat in making the heat damage "work" but furthering it's progression. When is the last time the service
call on the
fixture? I am no persat suggusting factory authorized service centers - am or would as per out of business brand, but in also locally service to reach out to.
There is enough posts on CB about
followspot or related
leko resurface / repair and service
call details that you could "Go" in doing this yourself. "Les" the member from CB has my latest notes on such re-work on a similar
Leko concept. Further than that, ask if wanting to take this on yourself. Take photos as you deconstruct the
fixture and advice will no doubt be abound on this problem and other concerns you will find. I have a few hundred service calls to follow spots under the belt, and as similar around a thousand
Leko's serviced in often similar, under the belt. Many similar in help for fixing the problem.
Initial thoughts, your arms / rods to do so are bent. This is a lever to a triangle which forces two different length rods bent to it, open and closed. If something in this works are bent such as the rods in
dowser are bent, they will not lever open/closed as well. This could have been done by a gorilla but could have been caused by doing the closing in something not correcting the close - mis-adjusted. A lot of easy symptoms to diagnose, than likely to correct heat damage done to existing parts as per now.

Call time and you can do it, or get it out for care.
