Sorry I misread that as 2.5k which it was closer to, but still a far cry from 10k... And yes, I know of several around these parts, still in use though.

back in the 70s and 80s the 1080 was probably more than 10k, not adjusted for inflation. I guess you bought yours in the 2000s when they were given away for free.
I got it in 2020 - have a look on my blog. A lot were scrapped locally, especially the horizontal units and at the time I was looking you could still get one new from the factory in China. Not sure if that's still the case post-covid but I recall they wanted around 5K just for the 5108 LED head - check taobao etc. Odyssey in the UK seem to deal mostly with parts and refurbs but I'm sure they could arrange a new one from the mainland if you were so inclined.

I'm driving 6 hours on Saturday to check out the De Vere. The seller is back from vacation now.
Anything I should be looking for, anything that could stand out?
Some pictures of the unit here. 3 lenses, 35mm, 120, and 4x5 masks/carriers, and some spare bulbs.
I heard the 504 uses 2 bulbs instead of 3, how does this work? The second bulb is for some brightness adjustment?
Just looking at the pictures, the color head says "Single lamp" on it. It looks like a nicely extensive setup.
