I say this in jest.

I have literally just bought (robbed!!!) the following fixtures for stupid money. Granted they need a good clean and not ALL fixtures are working. I paid the equivalent of £11.25 per unit!

2 x Abstract Gladiators (Barrel)
3 x Abstract Galactic Moons (1 not working)
2 x Acme Super Leo (1 needs attention)
2 x Acme Super Scimitar (1 needs attention)
1 x NJD Chaos
1 x Martin Robozap
1 x Martin Ego 3 (completely dead)

:D

Personally Mike I think you have been had, But there is a good side, I will give you £20 just to clear them out of your way.

On a serious note, i think you will make some cash selling them once all working.

The robozap brings back memories. Its almost immaculate. I love the way you need to manually select the gobos. A peice of nostalgia right there. I want another one :)

A bit of TLC and if you are into fixing the dead ones, hopefully, you have a bargain. Retro Disco maybe. I reckon they are better than LED lights unless you spend loooooads of money.

And you call me tight when I wanted to buy that VRX from you :mad:

As regards, price per unit, the stuff you got is not bad, I've just bought a job lot of 22 effects (including a Martin Wizard Extreme) for £300.00 which I thought was a bit steep.

If you can get them refurbed cheap enough then yes, a bargain.

Lol - The Robozap alone has 2 listings on eBay £149-£200???

14 scanners is excessive for a one man band so I think I'll just list some of these an eBay as is.

It's a job lot at the end of the day Mike. If you can get them all working then as I said, a bargain definitely but if they are beyond repair then it's not is it.
So, you bought 12 x fixtures which works out at around £11.25 each so you spent about £135.00 which is silly money. Did you pick them up? I guess so?
£135.00 is nothing really is it so you could still get that back and still have a few of the lights left.

Yes £135 from Adrian. Delivered :eek:

They all work as they should unless stated above. 8 of them could be sold as working today. Bargain.

Thought it might be. I was chatting to him earlier and he mentioned he was getting rid of a load of stuff. He still has the Mackie Subs but I'm not risking them.
