Anyone familiar with them? I'm looking at possibly buying some used. Three power packs and 6 heads around 3600 WS total is about all the info I have on them. Major use would be lighting for indoor sports. I tried google, didn't find anything. |

O L D stuff for sure! Check w/ some photo strobe repair shops for parts. In the Atlanta area these are the guys I would go to; John J Morgan Electronics, Inc 212 Lauren Lane Canton, GA 30114 678-493-2923 Over 18 years ago we had a 1600ws power pack that used a modified Speedotron Blackline 102/Brownline M11 heads. I can't remember the price but it was a pack & 2 heads for $$$.$$. They were nearly bullet proof dependable power but by today's standard of mono-light strobes its a DINOSAUR. If your using them for game(Basket & Volley ball) shots try to use a lower power setting than full power so the flash duration is relatively fast. Also if they are the Speedo heads look in to Speedotron's 'Sports Reflector' http://www.speedotron.com/products/show_image/87. It has a mirror finish on the inside & is set up to focus the light in a tighter pattern for better f/stops at range. Shoot me a IM if you have any questions. 7mm |

Just had another question okay 2 questions; what color are the packs & heads? And to be really picky, does it say speedotron or ascor on the cords from the heads to the pack? The color will help pin point the vintage & the name on the cord will help ID the heads thus which reflector mount will work. 7mm |
I have not seen them yet so I am unsure. |
