Satel Go 2.12

Another classic waltzer style unit from Satel! This is the Go 2.12 unit that features 12 X 6 volt, 30 watt par 36 GE 4515 lamps on the perimeter of the large saucer with an additional 2 X 12 volt, 100 watt par 56 GE 4545 lamps mounted in the middle. The spinning motion of the unit is from a 40 RPM Crouzet gearhead motor and the swaying motion is from a Crouzet 2 RPM gearhead motor. The unit creates a flying saucer style unit that gyrates side to side. Each motor and the lamp circuit can be controlled independently from each other. The unit used a very large 24 volt external transformer for the lamp circuit. The lamps are wired as 4 X 6 volt lamps in 3 groups and the 2 X 12 volt lamps combined in series / parallel 24 volt load. This is an earlier version as it does not include the neon lamp indicators for faulty lamps.  This also has the unique adjustable Chrome bulb cups with black holders. Very unique fixture made in Spain!

 

Sapro Sun Ray Unit Chrome Version

Another great one from Sapro!  This is the Sun Ray unit (Chrome Version).  The fixture features a central 36 volt, 400 watt EVD lamp that produces a ton of light (and heat).  The lamp along with the large chrome ball rotate at 6 RPM from a high quality Crouzet gear head motor.  The unit is quite heavy as the base has the very large transformer and motor housed inside.  In addition the ball is made from thick gauge metal.  Great classic made in France.

Satel Go 20

Awesome unit from Satel!  This is the Go 20 'Waltzer' effect unit.  The unit uses 20 - 6 volt, 30 watt 4515 sealed beam lamps all connected in series.  A great feature is neon fault indicators for each lamp.  This will alert you to which bulb is out.  The fixture rotates with a 40 RPM Crouzet base motor and a 8 RPM Crouzet swivel motor.  The effect is a gyrating cluster of lamps twirling in the air.  There were a few versions of this from Satel.  These was a Go 24 (just like this unit but 4 additional lamps), Go 12.2 with 12 lamps on the outside and 2 large par 56 bulbs in the center, Pogi 32 (Which has 32 lamps total with 8 oscillators) and the massive Go 40 (Platillo). Separate circuits for each motor and lamps.  Safety chain attached to the platter from the underside. Unit has a removable mounting tray for easy installation. Made in Spain.

Rotolite D-12 Chrome Helicopter Units

Great Classic helicopters from Rotolite!  These units are rare D-12 Chrome helicopters.  Each unit features 12 - 6 volt, 30 watt par 36 mounted on a huge metal disc.  Each bulb has its own dedicated transformer so if 1 lamp goes out the rest still stay illuminated.  The base motor features a very cool 'Slip' feature that allows the motor to come up to speed before the platter is moving in full motion.  This helps by eliminating torque problems that might weaken or break other similar motors in comparable units.  Separate power circuits for lamps and motor for better control.  Awesome units made in the US!
