Hey everybody,

I need another advice. An old acquaintance of my father used to work as model and photographer since the 60ies. When she heard that I was into filming and photography she gave me her old arri 2k fesnel light. Although thankful I'm not really sure what to do with it. It is still working and has a bulb in it.
There is the question if I can still get hold of the spare "bulbs" (if you can call it that) etc.
The downside for me is, that it has Asbest-plates screwed into it (now that's not good, right?) and I read somewhere that the fresnel lens often had an Asbest-ring around it aswell.

So what do you think I should do?


Thanks in advance,

I think it's museum quality...
