New, but Olde Toy
Four heads...
Had this for about two years now. This is the core of he most elaborate "garage made" projctor I have ever seen. Its first home was in Chicago at the Cernan Planetarium… I have original console too... Which belongs in a Museum... What I'm not showing is the secret sauce, the beam switching prism array in the back, or the tricky color modulation for the multiplexed lumia wheel. I also got another more modern projector, after all I was just going to get the console, but there was quite a bit more in the storage locker. I took apart the Rainbow on site. It was not, repeat, , not a Rainbow 4, so I did not commit planetarium sacrilege. But the baseline one head Rainbow,, that was there, too big to get home. .. Too much to fit in the car... There are some things that just work better without diodes, and this is one of them. Imagine my surprise when I heard, take the rest.... I just thought there was a console. Leaving a graphite mode CR-52 whitelight there was sad, the optics were toast anyways.
