I am need of the 914 Celette fixtures. I think the last time I went down this path I discovered there was one set here in the US and they were owned by a private party. Does anyone know where they are now, and if I would be able to get my hands on them?

McMark just rented them a few weeks ago here on the west-coast, he should be able to tell you how to get in touch with Celette ... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif) |

Direct from Celette, the rental isn't to bad, but the freight on them is the killer.

What could you possibly need those for? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
I'm curious to see them... when rented, would they be that hard to measure and copy? (I've never seen them.) -Steve |

It's a *lot* of steel and it would cost quite a bit of money to replicate them correctly. Not an easy task .... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/stirthepot.gif) |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/stirthepot.gif) McMark started to measure them when he had them. It's time consuming and like Sir Andy wrote there is a bunch or steel to make them. Just rent them. |

Right, I was thinking rent and then copy for future use (if they are hard to come by). -Steve |

All I would need is a quick napkin sketch and some dimension numbers to put into 3D CAD. I do that all day for work! Hell, I'd do it for free to help the community!
