Hi,
I'm building an all-light Spectrasystem.
The basis for the conversion is a 54" US Army Spectrasysem.

From the long middle cover I cut two short covers, and inserted a third dome.

I'm now looking for datails of how exactly the rotators and mirrors were arranged.
Unfortunately, the schematic illustrations in the catalogue are not very helpful and I couldn't find any pictures.

I am most interested in the versions with 2 rotators per side and/or a single center rotator with two half-diamond mirrors.

Has anyone ever seen any of these versions before and maybe even has pictures of them?

Thank you, but this is an auroasystem.
I recreated this diamond mirror out of cardboard. Just based on images.

In this configuration, the internal rotator would be half covered by the alu-cover.

Looks weird!

The question is: Did they really build it that way, or was there another mirror for the Spectrasystem?
