Avolites Pearl 2004/2008 console in very good condition- sold subject to payment

Hi BTU readers...Well, this desk has been my baby since 2006 but it's time to move on! This desk- Avolites serial number PRL4655- is a Pearl 2004 hardware version with the 2008 upgrade to USB loading/saving of shows and importing of fixture personalities. The software version is currently v1.1 and the desk has a working floppy drive. It has four physical DMX outlets, with the first two sockets fully-populated for four universes (like the older Avo desks).

The desk has been serviced and checked by Avo two or three times since I bought it (new) and is in very good condition. The encoder wheels, screen, faders, flash buttons and switches all work perfectly and the front and back panels and padded armrest are in immaculate cosmetic condition. There is some scuffing of the end panels which I have shown in one of the photos but that's the only cosmetic damage. It had a new power supply fitted last summer and I also bought a spare PSU at the same time which I will include with the desk.

The desk comes with the following-

• Flightcase- also in very good condition with all handles, catches and corners intact.
• Silver dust cover in good condition.
• Desklamp in good working condition.
• Avo key on lanyard.
• 13A to IEC cable.
• Paper copy of the Pearl 2004 manual.
• An Avolife desk brush!
• Spares bag containing Avo key, DMX driver chips, desklamp bulb, fuses for electronics, desklamp and mains, blue and grey flash buttons, and spare faders (taped inside desk).

£1250.00 + VAT (that's £1500.00 including VAT if you can't be bothered to open up the calculator on your computer...) I would be happy to deliver the desk free of charge within a 75 mile radius of Reading, or further (within practical reason!) for a fuel contribution. I'm also visiting 18 towns and cities in the UK on a tour in March/April and could put the desk on the tour truck for you to collect from the venue, if you're in or near one of them- no charge for that!

Please don't hesitate to drop me a line or call if you have any queries about the desk, delivery options or to find out where those 18 cities are!

Two Antari Z-300 hazers for spares or repair...

Here are two Antari Z-300 "fazers"- that's basically a smoke machine with a fan, much like many of today's so-called "hazers". We think they're both faulty and we think that one has a blocked element, and the other has a dodgy pump, but we're not sure and we haven't tested them. They both have 13A to IEC cables and there is one (working) analogue remote control between them. So although they're obviously sold as "spares or repair", it's pretty likely that anybody with the inclination could get one, if not two, working machines out of them.

£25.00 + VAT.

Road trunk flight case- sold subject to payment.

"And, relax..."

As you can see by the small number of remaining items, we've sold almost all of the forty-odd lots we added at the start of the year. It's been a very busy time and we could have sold some of the items half a dozen times over. It's good to be able to offer people a bargain and know that equipment will have a few more years' use, and of course it's good to earn a little bit of money and free up some space!

If you would like to be informed when items are added to the Big Tidy Up, please e-mail me and I will make sure you're kept up-to-date with details of any new stuff!

Heavy mains cable offcuts...

Here I have to offer a number of large(ish) TRS mains cable offcuts. All of these offcuts are new and unused, and would be ideal for making up 32A / 63A /63A three-phase adapter cables, jumper cables, tails or flying leads. They are as follows-

1) H07 5G10mm 3 metres length £6.00 + carriage + VAT.
2) H07 7G1.5mm (yes, 7-core 1.5mm squared, a bit of an odd one) £3.00 + carriage + VAT.

NOTES ABOUT CARRIAGE, POSTAGE AND DELIVERY

Hi friends-


There are always a number of options for how you can receive anything purchased from the Big Tidy Up site, dependent on the size and weight of the item(s), your location and the urgency of your need for them. As a default, I always try and keep carriage costs to a minimum. It's good for everybody's wallet and it's good for the environment! Some items are listed with the carriage included and there is no additional cost on these items (in the UK!) For items where carriage is not included, the options are-


1- You can collect items of any size from Martin's Lights warehouse in Reading, Berkshire, either in person or via a courier. Cost on the invoice- nothing!


2- Very small items, perhaps up to a couple of kilos, can be sent by standard Royal Mail first or second class post. Cost on the invoice- perhaps up to £5, often only a pound or so if you are buying very small items such as components, DIN/XLR/jack connectors etc. Larger items, such as the dimmers, Raylite reflectors and books currently for sale for example, can be sent by Royal Mail Parcels. Cost on the invoice- depends entirely on the weight of the item but can be in the £5-15 region.


3- Any item can be delivered by myself if it will fit into the Martin's Lights car-based van and if this is viable in terms of fuel costs and distance, or you could meet me at a suitable halfway point. Finally, in my day-to-day gigging and touring activities, I often find myself in or near many of the major cities of the UK and it may be possible to put the item(s) on the tour bus/van/truck and meet you in your own town! Cost on the invoice- let's talk!


The bottom line is, please always ask, and between us we can work out the best (ie cheapest and simplest!) option in each case. When initially enquiring about carriage costs on an item, please include the delivery address in your e-mail, as this information is required at the Post Office to find out the postage cost of an item. It is also very useful if, after making an e-mail enquiry you decide you're not interested in an item, you could let me know- I won't take offence!
Please note that this site is kept as up-to-date as possible, so if items are listed on here, they are still available, even if the listing is old. If something is listed as "sold subject to payment", it is exactly that. I leave items on the site until payment has been received and cleared, as occasionally sales fall through and items become available again. As soon as payment is received, items are removed from the site. (And by the same token, as soon I receive payment from you for an item, it's yours and won't be sold to anybody else, even if they make a better offer!)

Lee filter gel- SEVEN SHEETS SOLD, STILL SOME LEFT!

You know what its like, you buy a big load of gel for a job and then it gets cancelled at the last minute, or they change their mind about the colour scheme, and suddenly you're left with a lifetime's supply of a colour you rarely use..!

I have a fairly large quantity of Lee 205 (half C.T. orange) available for sale at £1.00+VAT per full sheet (48" x 21", or as they sometimes now say, 1.22m x 0.53m). If you want a bigger quantity, let's talk...
