And now it’s 2019 and they are anything but “new”... so what’s your point? Do you have spares for these fixtures available? Calm down, no, I don’t have spares for these fixtures, I’m surprised the OP is finding hard to find the spares, given that there are still many threads on this forum by people wanting to get advice on Mac 250s and the like. I know there are many new wizz bang fixtures out today. But I know many rental houses still carry Mac 250s 300s and 2000s and they are still able to maintain them. The fixtures the OP is having problems with are one generation newer. I’m Gaffing a job at the moment with a rig of VL 500 and VL 2ks, along with a bunch of Light Panel Gemini’s. 2k, 5k, and high powered HMIs are still common place along with the ever reliable Source 4, My point being I’m surprised the OP is having troubles with getting parts for these fixtures. (In my head still very useful fixtures and not that old) The great thing about owning fixtures from brand like Martin, Clay Paky, VL is even when they are near 20 years old parts are still available. Unlike brands like showtec and other cheap fixtures. Once they need repair you will struggle to find parts. Perhaps I’ve been in this industry too long but I still enjoy it. Except when there are rude people on forums.
