Satel Pogi 32 Waltzer Unit




Absolutely huge effect unit from Satel!  This is the Pogi 32 effect unit.  The unit features 32 - 6 volt, 30 watt 4515 lamps mounted on a huge round platter.  There are 3 rings of lamps.  An inner 8 lamps - center 8 lamps and 16 outer lamps.  The outer and inner rings are wired together (24 lamps total) and the central ring is wired separately.  This allows for different effects to be produced.  The central ring of lamps are all mounted on super high quality Crouzet oscillating motors which produces a very cool scanning effect.  The entire unit is mounted on a central 'Gyrating' assembly powered by a super high quality Crouzet gear head motor.  The unit does not spin but rather it gyrates in a circular motion.  The lamp circuits are all 48 volts and powered from a very large external transformer.  Currently the unit is missing the large external power supply for the lamps, a couple of lamp holders and some of the lamp retainers.  If anyone has parts for this unit please contact me.  Super unique unit made in Spain!

Optec (NESS) Synchrobot HP Scanner System




Classic first generation scanning system from Optec!  These are the Synchrobot HP scanners with dedicated controller.  The Synchrobot units were available as standard or HP.  The HP is the 'High Power' version.  The standard units use a halogen lamp and the HP units use a high power HTI-150 discharge lamp.  Since the unit features a discharge lamp the unit has a mechanical shutter / douser for blackout & strobe function.   Each unit features 11 dichoric colors plus white and 12 gobos.  All motors used are super high quality Micro motors from Italy.  The controller is very simple to operate and you can control up to 16 Synchrobot units with 1 controller.  Units are quite heavy due to the ballast / ignitor system in each unit.  Connection from the controller to the units is through a common 9 pin computer cable.  Great system made in the US!




























 



American DJ Duet



Another great unit from American DJ.  This is the duet high power projection fixture. The unit features a very bright 120 volt, 600 watt DYS lamp positioned in the center with a large dichoric glass drum that rotates around the lamp.  Currently the drum and motor are still in the unit but the previous owner removed the dichoric pieces so the colors are not present.  The light shoots through the drum (if it were present) then through a very large optical focusing class lens then through a constantly rotating gobo (Sun gobo installed currently).  The light then goes through an adjustable focusing convex lens and onto a rotating mirror.  The rotating dichoric drum and both rotating mirrors are sound active through a sound circuit located in the rear of the unit and microphone located on the top of the unit.  A high velocity fan on the rear keeps the unit cool.  Classic unit made in Taiwan.
