Clay Paky Astrodisco 3

The original classic disco unit from Clay Paky!  Probably the unit that really made the vintage disco light scene!  With all of the classic units out there this one was actually pretty hard to find.  I have a coupe of Astrodisco 2 units (2 motors) but getting this one was a challenge.  This unit was pulled from an old club located in Milwaukee, WI named Amens.  It has been sitting for a while but I finally got some time to overhaul the unit. 

The Astrodisco 3 unit features 3 separate motors that move a central saucer in a tumbling and spinning motion.  There is a base motor for rotation, a side motor for tumbling and a motor on the saucer for spinning.  Motors are super high quality Crouzet from France.  All are on separate circuits (4 total) for better control.  Lamp is a central 24 volt, 150 watt FCS capsule halogen.  Great unit made in Italy!

Superstar Lighting ME9800-1 Diablo Lighting Effect Units

Great units from Superstar Lighting.  These are the ME9800-1 Diablo UFO / saucer units.  Both units feature a common 120 volt, 300 watt 64514 halogen lamp located in the center of the saucer head.  The whole saucer rotates from the base unit.  The output is 8 large round multi-color beams rotating in a circle formation.  Very cool looking in fog.  I plan to add an additional motor to the top of each unit for additional rotation.  The motor source is 12 volts DC so that is why there is a small transformer and rectifier circuit in the compartment where the motor is located.  Great units made in Taiwan. 

Nisel Stratus L SN 250 Discharge Version

Ultra rare UFO unit from Nisel!  The is the Stratus L UFO discharge version which uses the rare SN 250 discharge lamp!  Very unique unit that originally was colored from the factory but has gone almost white due the mirrors inside.  They were originally screen printed at the factory but heat from the bulb and age has burnt most of it off.  Sapro did a similar thing with some of their units.  This unit features separate circuits for each motor and the lamp (4 total).  Connection to the unit has been modified to use a common Bulgin connector for easy set up and connection to relay packs / controllers.  Motors are super high quality Crouzet gearhead versions.  Spectacular unit made in Italy!
