APPLIED HOLOGRAPHICS HOLOCOPIER

This device was intended to mass produce holograms like a Xerox copier, with either objects or master holograms placed on its platen. Powered by a JK Lasers System 2000 variation, loaded with HoloPar film produced by Ilford, Inc., it was going to be a holographic game-changer. Unfortunately no one sat down to play, and it seems that all the Holocopier machines have been dismantled. The whereabouts of 2 of the lasers from these units are known; one is owned by Rick Bruck, the other by Tommy Johnson.
