Xenon Disco Photos Part 6 - Pics shot for ProMo use

This is the way to get jiggy with it: grab the smokemachine remote, set level to max and push the button !	Grab your headset...	...put the needle to the record...
And you're off !	Michael and Joakim getting jiggy with it	The mother of all vinyl record players: The Technics SL1200/1210 Mark 2 ! As seen on MTV.
Michael and Joakim. Still getting jiggy with it, now the gobo has joined in too !	Jiggy !	Michael making his moves on the mixing console while Joakim operates the light sequencer (LSQ)
Fancy some scratching, ey ?	Now kids, with this knob we could mechanically adjust the so-called "needle pressure" on the vinyl player.	Almost a slight religious touch to this picure
Peter doing the (in)famous spinning LP trick. This actually rendered some records unusable..	The diabolic box: This is the good old backup for the light sequencer. An analog light organ. Later proved unnecessary due to the good performance of the LSQ.	This is the analog backup unit for the stroboscopes. We used this a lot before we got the strobe functionality integrated into the LSQ.
Tadaa: the full view of the diabolic box with the backup systems. It also holds the important A/D-converter for trigging lights on drum beats.	Strobes to the left, A/D converter on the right. Note that the text on the bottom left corner reads "Nokia Elektroniikka". Today known for cellular phone systems. We found this baby on the scrapyard.	On top: A box with manual switches for spots, etc. Below: the diabolic box again.
Closeup of box with manual switches. This box was eventually replaced with a computer also. But in the good old days we had REAL SWITCHES for REAL MEN !	The Hand flipping the "Sweep lights" switch. Yeah !	The heart of Xenon Disco. Our subwoofer amplifier. Delivered above 1 kW. Built from discarded electronics found on the scrapyard. It was the best! (And the heaviest)
Joakim at the turntables. We all smoked a lot at that time as you can see.
