fire-raiser Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 Next to the two controlers, there are three tubes left. I just posted here because I have absolutely no idea if they are still anything worth and hoped you could give me an idea of. I found an american second hand site where one controller was offered for $4.000,-- and a swiss settled page offering them still for 500 SFr... But I think that is absolutely weird. :unsure: Sorry if I made a mistake by placing my question! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henny Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 I bought a controler for £50 2 years ago if that helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rili Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 I use the Soundlab copy of Arcline in a club ( about 20 metres worth split 2 ways on a simultaneous chase ringing the dancefloor ) It s amazing and blows away all other lights regardless of their cost ! - I use it on song choruses .. I ve been at the club DJ ing and doing lights and sound - I own the equipment -for many years.. Selling up soon if anyone's interested the arcliney effexts etc .. There s a youtube excerpt of the club in action.. I think the Soundlabs tubes come on @ 40 seconds into the video- not great quality vid due to camera but gives an idea of the vibe Has anyone got any pictures/videos of Arcline in action? I will try and get one today. Arcline is cracking stuff, gutted you can't get any more! Although I've just remembered I've got a spare couple of tubes sitting unused - time to expand I think! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Congratulations! Although if you're offering advice this thread has been quiet for a good few months.Alternatively if you're advertising to sell you may do better in the classifieds section. Although I'm not sure if you'd get much response, your link advertises the gear as being used at the "BIGGEST WEEKLY HOTEL EVENT IN THE WORLD OUTSIDE LAS VEGAS" which may mean it's a bit too 'high end' for most of the blue-roomers.

dwents Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 I believe the Palace Pier in Brighton used to have arcline running around the base of the deck looked amazing if you can ever get a look ?Think there is a webcam that is pointing at it from the eastbourne side try googling it ? I may be wrong also just seen this on ebay ? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/MODE-ELECTRONICS-ARC...%3A1%7C294%3A50 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonic Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 Ive never had any problems on proper 3 core IEC and a "real" controller! ok - so which colours did you link to which from the 4 at the back of the controller please?Back of our arcline control unit AL100 has 4 wires to a connection box which are coloured yellow, blue, brown and black. How should we connect the regular 3 core earth live & neutral to this connector box?^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ THIS QUESTION HAS BEEN BUGGING ME^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ I AM A YANKEE IN DESPERATE NEED OF HELP!!! I was wondering A) if anyone knows how I could get the wiring skematics for the old arc line systems. AND I need polarity/connection information. I have to make my own cords (mains etc.) Kevinkfcjock@hotmail.comwww.myspace.com/kfcjock Sorry to necropost, but I feel this may help anyone who follows me here looking for the answer... To connect the AL100 to a 3 pin iec, you need to connect brown to brown, blue to blue and Earth to yellow, but also jumper the black to the yellow so earth is connected to both. This worked for me :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter F Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 I can confirm, nothing spectacular but the result is quite final. Cheers, Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Remo Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 You can rebuild them, we have had to in the past, but it's a P.I.T.A. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
