Jupiter 2 Colour wheel

[KEVIN EDG]

I am after a colour wheel for a Jupiter 2 if anyone can help or point me in the right direction.

[Mr MaGoo]

Is it basically like the galaxy color wheel?

[KEVIN EDG]

The dimensions are 75mm diameter with 3mm centre hole and 1mm thick. The one i have is not the original as several colours, would love to see an original as four colours only. I think the one I have maybe from a fibre optic xmas tree although still works fine. Were the originals glass and what size ?

I know for a fact that there were different colour wheels fitted in the Galaxy. What is the problem with the one you have in the Jupiter? I may be able to help. Simon

Would like to have an original or copy as plastic over halogen bulb a bit dodgy. I dismantled lamp and cleaned up all parts. Sprayed motor with silicone spray which is running better although still a bit noisy. Do you know if the original Jupiter 2 wheels glass ? I am thinking of replacing bulb to LED.

Are you sure about the measurements if the existing colour wheel on your Jupiter? The photo shows a colour wheel taken from a Galaxy?

That does look like a color wheel from Galaxy there Simon!  For sure!

Yeah that's a Galaxy wheel

Jupiter wheels are much smaller

[KEVIN EDG]

I have ordered some 75mm acrylic discs and transparent coloured window film. I am going to attempt to make a colour wheel up & replace bulb to an LED equivalent. Would like to know the size & material of a genuine wheel or pic if anyone can help.

[andy ross]

here's a Jupiter wheel, it's glass, 2-3mm thick

you can replace the halogen with an LED equivalent, there used to be like-for-like bulbs available, but that was a couple of years ago, dunno now...

Good luck!

Hi Andy, Is that the original colour markings ? It looks like its been coloured in with an indelible pen.

[andy ross]

can't remember, looks like it doesn't it? it follows the original colours anyway

originally they were fairly simply done, (look at the Galaxy), but amazingly enough, they worked
