I got a guy who has multiple 2000watt fresnel for sell at 115$ each + 35$ for 70-100hours used lamp. I think that is very very cheap... They are ugly thought... and might be alittle big, and heavy... Should I get it at that price and add it to my gear ?

Here the pic he sent me :

This is a strange looking beast. It looks like it would accommodate either barn doors or perhaps wire scrims (both of which are pretty essential accessories in my opinion) are they included or available?

From this image you can't see what the mounting looks like. Is it a 1 1/8" pin?

Does this use a CYX globe? Is the reflector in good shape? How about the lens?

The price is cheap enough for the fixture, but I wouldn't pay $35 for a used globe that can be had new for about the same.
 
I'd also want to replace the edison connector and the safety cable, but maybe that's just me.
Peace,

Pyramid Films sells 2k Moles for $150 including used globe. Used replacements are about $10 and new are $35 (I think I remember that correctly). I purchased 2 2ks and a 5k and they are great and built like tanks. I'm not sure of the make of the light you pictured. If it is anything Mole-like in build quality it sounds like a decent deal.

I agree, swap the connector get a better safety cable and dont buy his bulbs. I would be basing some of my decision on its weight. If its build like a tank AND weighs equally the same, i'd look elsewhere. Last thing I need on set is an anvil dangling from a stand, requiring more grip supervision. Otherwise sounds like a deal
