What lighting desk is this?

[xllx]

I thought I was pretty good at identifying antique lighting kit, but this one has me stumped.

 

It has no makers name on it anywhere.

 

Anyone recognise it? LINK

It has similar buttons, faders and general layout to a Celco Series 2 Thirty, but the chaser is different and it didn't have the Blue Borders. Could be a prototype of some kind? (Thus explaining the lack of branding?)

 

Where did you find it?

Yes, I thought it lookked a bit Celco ish. Since posting, I have found out more information.

 

It turns out that one of the circuit boards is marked EFS-Celco, EFS were a desk manufacturer in the early 80's which merged with Celestial Lighting to become Celco in about 1985.

 

So not exactly a prototype Celco 30 but more like an ancestor I think!

 

I have a few Celco desks, and stumbled across this recently. I haven't bought it yet, so am relying on photos from the current owner. Apparently it came from a house in Esher, Surrey, possibly built into a wooden console with a sound desk. Not sure where it came from originally!

Hi Mr. Coster, 

sorry for entering this old thread, but the fact you own several Celco desks leads me to ask for help. 

I recently bought a Celco 60 Major, which isn't working properly. 

So I'm looking for Schematics or any helpful information to bring that beauty back to live. 

Can you please direct me to a place where I can find these information. 

Best regards

Hi justlight,

I have the same problem, I own a Celco 90 Gold and need some more paperwork to make the baby work again. Did you had any success?

Best Regards

Thomas

Dear xllx,

sorry to come late on this topic, but as a new (again) owner of my Celco 90 Gold I like to get in contact with persons, who still also any Celco desks. I have to do some repairmen's and I wonder if you have any paper work from yours?
