This is some members of the general publics perception of a mobile disco when they ask for a price. Then say how:Censored: much? when you tell them:D :D :D :D :D :D ;) ;)

There's always one isn't there? ;) Well your rebuke will come at BPM, when Steve gets a gift of a libation, and you don't. :p

Speaking of old lighting effects. I have an old Clay paky Astroraggi up the attic.

Never got around to testing it as it needs a lamp. It's huge though and weighs a ton.

Did find a video on youtube though....

Is the table reinforced? If Steve doesn't want it you're welcome to pick it up. Might need two of you to carry it though, it's seriously heavy. :d

I know the feeling. I acquired it for free and it seemed like a good idea at the time as it looked kinda groovy. As soon as I got it home and almost killed myself getting it up the attic, I thought, what in the hell was I thinking!!!!!!

You know what us Scotsman are like though.....can't pass up a freebie. :o :zip:
