alistermorton Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 I'm looking to hire two oil wheel projectors (with wheels) for two weeks. The show opens on the 21st April and we thought we had a couple of projectors lined up only to be let down (twice) at the last minute. We'd need to hire them to cover 17th April to 31st April. We're based in Caterham if it makes a difference. Anyone got a couple in stock? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alistermorton Posted April 6, 2016 Author Share Posted April 6, 2016 Can't remember - did we eve take you to Guide Post? Not sure I knew you particularly then - that was before we left Abbeyfields. We made our own effects projector - not an oil wheel one but a rotating polaroid with stressed plastics and cellophanes in the gate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Used to have the oil wheel projector that was used at KEVI but it is long gone now! Saw a great underground club light show in LA when we were filming The Tube in 1986 and it used overhead projectors with various oil baths on them and others with live bugs and creepy crawlies in plastic cases all projected on the walls of a derelict hotel ballroom. Very The Shining and lots of acid being dropped! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jivemaster Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 In my disco experience oil heel lights take time to warm up before they look their best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alistermorton Posted April 6, 2016 Author Share Posted April 6, 2016 We intend to run the projectors with a DMX shutter in place so that they have time to come up to temperature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Allen Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 I have an ADJ GP250 which is 6 rotating glass gobos that look similar to oil wheels. It has build in shows to change the gobos on an internal timer or you can select a gobo and rotation speed. Weighs 10kg due to transformer and diecast body, but looks very 60's.
