Recently purchased (this month) from Mike Fernino:

Four (4) Martin 812A Roboscan intelligent lights (cleaned, tested, working A1!, each has the polygraphite circular clamp);
Four (4) Martin soft padded carry bags (Martin logo);
One (1) extra bulb;
One (1) 2504 Martin controller (beat up but works A1!);
Four (4) 25' connecting cables;
Two (2) 5' connecting cables;

No power cables for the lights. Didn't come with my purchase and haven't purchased any to go with them.

I do not wish to spend the time and effort to provide lighting, learn the coding, and expend any efforts to program them. Lighting is NOT my bag.

$1,500.00. Cash, PayPal or money order. Delivery negotiable the way you'd want it ( because that's extra [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif[/img] )

Cap,

I know you said you aren't interested in using them but they are good lights.

Coding there is nothing to learn, simple dip switches to set for controller, auto run or auto run to music.

If you want to give them a real try I will send you the book for both the lights and the 2508 controller. There isn't much difference between the controllers except the number of fictures they will run and the joy stick.

Programing can be done in your living room with a little math to cover what ever you want them to do. Setting up scenes and banks are a quick and easy 1, 2, 3 step operation.

Steve: It turned out to be more than just a learning curve. My head must've been up my keester. It is a good deal, and I'm a sucker for good deals.

These would add at least another 30 minutes of setup time and 35 minutes breakdown. Then there's programming them for every different venue played. Tack on the purchase of two crank-up support towers, Then there's transportation. My trailer is full and it would mean either a larger one or redesign the inside.

Steve, I wasn't thinking clearly. Now, this does not mean that I'm totally against them, and there is a desire to learn DMX even though lights are not my thing. It's all the rest of expense and redesign that turns me off.
