Wished_Volcano Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 Hi all, I'm trying to get hold of some Patt 123's or similar for a show of Forbidden Broadway in March. The set is an old run down building made into a performance space, and we would love some old Strand Patts to be on show that also need to be practical. I know they are really hard to get hold of, does anyone know of anywhere in the South East / London area that might have some we could borrow for 3 weeks? It's a long shot but thought it was worth an ask. (We also have a small budget so buying some is very difficult!) Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alistermorton Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 You might struggle. Any that aren't still in use as intended (we still use them) quickly get snaffled at silly (i.e. high) prices to be polished, rewired and sold as hipster loft lamps for even sillier prices. This is true of a lot of old vintage looking kit but particularly Strand, Arri. Mole-Richardson ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ed_ld Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 White light keep a stock of older patt lanterns, some even rewired to take smaller lamps. Panalux also stock old Mole Richardsons if they are of any use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vinntec Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 http://www.ancientli...ghting/theatre/Some of the old "black box" Strand lanterns Patt 43 and 44 if I remember correctly shown as 1950s on this site, I was still using them in the 1970s! I would be interested to know how much they charge for a hire as this often comes up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbuckley Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 Saw "Captain America: The First Avenger" on the telly the other night, and Hydra's laior had many shiny, chromed Patt 123s hung up. So they are now movie props... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Coker Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 ELP are having a sale of their ex-Gradav stock, so that might be worth a look. I got an LSI email about it, but I can't make the link work - I'll post it if I can. KC Best I can do at the mo: https://www.bidspotter.co.uk/en-gb/auction-catalogues/timed/ramco/catalogue-id-ramco-10059 Sorry about that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

springgrove Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 I am in Kingston and we have a few that we might be able to loan in March for a donation to the community drama group. Send me a PM.Nigel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
