ocfe Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 I've just seen this listing on ebay for CCT Silhouette's and curiosity has got the better of me:https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/CCT-Silhouette-Vintage-theatre-light-retro-collectable-antique/303111512107?_trkparms=aid%3D111001%26algo%3DREC.SEED%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20160908131621%26meid%3D768502db51e546cbbc98823bf53d77e5%26pid%3D100678%26rk%3D2%26rkt%3D13%26sd%3D333136979689%26itm%3D303111512107&_trksid=p2481888.c100678.m3607&_trkparms=pageci%3Ac16bdad0-56ae-11e9-8099-74dbd1808b7a%7Cparentrq%3Ae756c7f81690a9c5547fabb8ffffbbbd%7Ciid%3A1 They're constructed very differently to the CCT Silhouette's that I remember.Could they have been a prototype or an early version or was this a production model?

sguy42 Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 Yes, a very early version. Some other CCT lanterns of the period were constructed similarly, for instance the Halostar 1KW Discharge effects projector. I'm guessing but I suspect the 400W Halostar Effects projector was similar, but they only made 2 of those! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sunray Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 Serial number - 025! I'd say very early version :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gareth Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 Very early versions of the Silhouette were known as 'blue' Sils - a glance at the lamphouse of these units will tell you why! Sils of this vintage are pretty rare - I wonder where these came from? They look to be in pretty good nick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
