Studio Ascorlight QC4 - opinion?

I have an opportunity to purchase a used QC4 that is about 6 years old.
Comes with stands and two heads.

Anyone have experience with these regarding reliability and spare parts?

(The owner also has two QC 8's and two 1000's which he's keeping, so
generally a good sign, I suppose).

Anyone know where I can get another head?

Anyone know where I can find an online manual? (Yes, I've googled).

Are these heads the same as Norman heads? [ I can't find a photoflex
adaptor for these heads ]

Thanks!!

Alan.

I don't mean to scare you off but I think parts are kind of limited.
I haven't seen any Ascors around for awhile, are you sure they aren't
more like 16-26 years old?

I was thinking the same, I've heard of them, but can't remember when, but at
least 20 years.

Scare me, it's quite alright. I don't want to spend for nothing.

On age you could be very right. The parts and another head are my real
concern.

Photoflex wrote back to me and said they could probably adapt something
for me, which is nice of them (cost hasn't been mentioned...!)

Cheers,
Alan
