I picked up this vintage hollywood movie spotlight the other day, non soda related but thought it was just too cool to pass up.  Someday I hope to build a home theatre and this and some other vintage props would look cool... bonus that it actually works too.

just need a stand for it.. anyone got somethign that would work from that vintage?

That is cool, great colors, looks like the 1930's.  You have a lot of options with that mounting bracket. Could build a stand using a pipe (looks like about 3/4 inch)or could mount from the ceiling.  Would be easy to build something and paint it to match the colors on the light.

Very nice!!
Here's mine. I mounted it to the ceiling. Points to the drum/guitar area or can spin it down to light a worktable.
Great to take pictures.
Careful, they get hot as hell.

Here is what the original stand would look like:

A good cymbal stand for drum kits would work but would not have wheels.

It's called a Furnell.  It's studio lighting and designed to mount from a ceiling pipe grid.  This particular one is a key light with barn doors attached.  I can't tell the brand from the photos.  We have two old television studios with these still mounted on the grid.  Our new studios have gone with the flourescent and LED's.

 The correct spelling is Fresnel. On some, the lamp is designed to burn base down, others burn base up. If you want to use the original lamp, don't turn it over or it will blow prematurely.

Thanks for correcting the misspelling detroittvguy.  Creighton, you could probably convert it to a regular light socket rather than trying to use it as is.  A nice dim light shining out of it would look good, and not get hot.

Good luck with it.

Thanks for the info... I"m assuming when you say base down, it should light the way it sits and not flip it over.. in other words have the "Sled" on the bottom.. that is the way  I plan on using it.. I did rewire it the other night and it works great.. wow, talk about bright and HOT!.. won't be on for long periods of time is for sure...

the guy I got it from , just called me today saying he has another one.. matching set.. I might go pick it up... but it's missing the lense.. anyone know where I could get a lense for it?

Thanks

Thousands were made. Lense should not be a problem.
If you don't care about original a circle of high heat glass would be fine.
Use mine everyday. Handy device.
