730 doors Posted February 4, 2005 Share Posted February 4, 2005 Why do you want to know? is that your desk in the pic? We've got a prototype pre 80 desk knocking around if you're at all interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've got a prototype pre 80 desk knocking around if you're at all interested.<{POST_SNAPBACK}> Have you tried Avo's office? Steve Warren may have some stuff on it. 730 doors - NEET (National Exhibition of Entertainment Technology) would be very interested in your prototype.

kevinsysum Posted February 19, 2005 Author Share Posted February 19, 2005 Yes thats my Avo in the pic - Im doing an embedded analgue to DMX conversion for it and restoring it to its former glory. From my understanding it was a custom built 72 channel model. I also have a 96 channel later model and I am interested in its history. I have contacted Avolites and they are less than forthcomming with any information. Im not even sure how to operated it! The restoration and conversion is comming along nicely though.

JBToby Posted March 1, 2005 Share Posted March 1, 2005 Hi Kevin I am not sure who you talked to at avolites. Most frontline persons will not know the 8100 and its derivates at all. let alone know who to ask if data is needed. We have some data which I can copy and send if you want to. but do not think that it is comprehensive. One of the biggest problems you will find is getting the legacy parts needles to say we do not stock spare items anymore.I know this from person experience when I refurbished one back in 1991...so 2005 good luck J.B.TobyProduct DesignerAvolites limited184 Park Avenue Park Royal London NW10 7XL UKTel +44(0)20 8965 8522Tel +44(0)20 8965 0290email: jb@avolites.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zulton Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 Hi, I just found this site and hope someone actually reads these posts. I also have come into posession of an avolites 80-100 or 8100 lighting desk. I am looking for an operators guide or any other info on setting the desk up for use.....output connections, etc.. It's a 96 channel unit and it's huge. All I have is a small booklet titled "technical notes-confidential"which has some in-depth schematics but no user type info.......... I found photos of these units on an avolites web site and a reference to lighting designer Ken Coker.I have not yet discovered what his connection is or was with these consoles/desks....HELP PLEASE!
