Retro disco ball mount with motor and lead intended for use with a suitable spotlight, similar to the spotlight HERE
Remember the day? Walk into a hall (this was way before the club scene as it is today) and up on the ceiling is those balls made of many segments of glass mirrors upon which a spotlight was focused, the effect? Lots of little splashes of light rotating all around the room (Saturday Night Fever)
Fantastic for a great retro party!!
UNKNOWN MANUFACTURER - Disco Mirror Ball Mount (including motor and power lead)
240V AC operation (standard 3 pin plug)
Motor type: 03
Rated for 220 ~ 240V operation
LUO SHE ELECTRIC IND. CO. LTD (pretty good guess that it is Chinese made)
Metal gearing
Rotational speed is marked as 3 RPM but I believe this to be when running at 60Hz, on our 50Hz AC supply I have measured the rotation to be 2.4 RPM or approximately 25 seconds per revolution - great speed for that glittering mirror ball above the dance floor!
Motor is riveted to the metal body mounting, not easily removable!
Mount Dimensions:
107mm diameter
40mm deep
Split ring (for attaching the mirror ball) 28mm diameter
Split ring sits 12mm clear of the body mount on a chrome shaft
Choice of 6 4.5mm OD mounting holes around the outer rim
Split ring for attachment of the glass mirror ball (just about any size ball will fit)
NOT INCLUDED:
Glass Mirror Ball
Light source e.g spotlight of some type - anything will do, depends upon the effect you wish to create (white light through to multi-coloured lighting but nothing fancy is need here)
COSMETIC CONDITION:
Clean
NO damage to the body
NO damage to the motor
NO damage to the power lead/plug
TESTING:
Used only a couple of times, runs perfectly and silently (Ok, there is a very low level whirring as the gears rotate within the motor!)
Plenty of torque, when turned on it is very difficult to make the shaft 'stall'
