Bryson Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 So, I have a photo that I found in my desk drawer of the console that we used to have here...but I have no idea what it is. For the sake of my curiosity, what is this? http://i.imgur.com/rCsmIDO.jpg I also have a Microvision FX in a cupboard complete with granite (yes, for real) level wheel. It's pretty cool.

Bryson Posted May 31, 2014 Author Share Posted May 31, 2014 http://I.imgur.com/rCsmIDO.jpg should work...does it not at your end? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnhuson Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 My best guess is an Arri/Colortran of some description but it is a mildly educated guess. EDIT Though on a second look it looks a bit home brew based on the above? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richard Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 It definitely looks ETC-esq with the layout of the buttons and faders. The microvision (AKA Arri Mirage) was a great little desk, wonderful to have something with such a small footprint Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itiba Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 The buttons look a little bit like ETC Acclaim but has me stumped Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chelgrian Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 The buttons look a little bit like ETC Acclaim but has me stumped No idea what the desk is but while investigating I cam across LS&I archives. It struck me that many things have not changed since 1985 when it was first published and that some of the lighting fixtures advertised in that issue are still in active service in many theatres as well as many much older ones.

gareth Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 It's a bit fuzzy, but various things lead me to hazard a guess that it's a Colortran console of some sort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew C Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 It looks Arri to me too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gareth Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 It's a shame the photo is so indistinct. The main thing that makes me think Colortran is the green and red silkscreened areas on the front panel around the Go and Stop/Back buttons - a bit of a 'trademark' on Colortran desks of a certain vintage.

DonkiDonki Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 Looks very similar to the colortran scene master range, perhaps one of the early versions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alistermorton Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 I think donki might be onto something - it looks not entirely dissimilar to this desk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 I think donki might be onto something - it looks not entirely dissimilar to this desk I used to own one of those and the one in the picture is nothing like it. My money is on an early ETC or something very left-pond like EDI, Entertainment Technology/Rosco or NSI/Levitron. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alistermorton Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 Hmmm ... I'll bow to your greater experience, but the colortran layout in the manual looked very similar. Back to lurking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
