Barco 70x series / Runco DTV-947

  Manuals     Setup Tips     Specifications     Ranking  


The 70X series are great little machines, and is one of the smallest case sizes out there for a data grade set. Video, S-video and RGB inputs. Digital convergence, near silent operation, on screen menus, very easy to set up.

The Data 701 scans to 50 Khz, making it good to past line tripling and 750 lumens from Sony 7" tubes.  The Data 701s has the same specs but with 1000 lumen Toshiba tubes and an added component input. 

The 708 is the latest version in the 70X series with some upgrades to the chassis. It's also about 2 years newer than the 701s.

Runco DTV-947: New in the box. This is identical to the above Runco, but is an A stock, new in the box, 0 hours on it. It was an insurance claim replacement, but the customer ended up never installing it. I’m listing it for a friend of mine that works at La Scala, a high end HT installation company here in Vancouver.

Electrohome Marquee 8xxx series

  Manuals     Setup Tips     Specifications     Ranking  


Basically, all Marquees are very similar in performance. All 8XXX series (non LC models) use the same 8" EM focusing tubes. Very similar in set up to the Barcos in general, these sets are quiet. Not as long as the Barco's in size, they are about 3" taller than the Barco series. Very modular in construction, and super reliable. Video, S-video and RGB inputs.

Here's the breakdown:

Marquee 8000: 1000 lumens. Circa 1994-1995.
Marquee 8110: 1200 lumens. Circa 1995-1998.
Marquee 8500: 1200 lumens. Circa 1995-1998. (Adds astig controls that the 8000 and 8110 do not include, for slightly better corner focus). 

The 8500LC model adds liquid coupled tubes for even better contrast ratios and less halo'ing.

I do all of the mods (including anamorphic squeeze mod and the power supply mods) required to make the Marquees more versatile and reliable. I've sold lots of these in the past with great results.

I've also got a slew of new Marquee sets in as below, with more on the way. Now, here's the scoop. I have a LOT of good used tubes for these sets. I will drop pricing significantly based on the actual tube condition. Also as a bonus, the new tubes are indeed NEW for the next short while, while I use up the supply of NEW tubes that I have. I've got buckets and buckets of Marquees in stock, with more coming in.

Electrohome Marquee 9xxx series

  Manuals     Setup Tips     Specifications     Ranking  


State of the art 9" sets.  9" liquid coupled tubes. 135Khz and 1200 lumens with astig adjustments for perfect corner focus. Scheimpflug adjustments are stock on these units.

Very easy to set up. Not as long as most projectors, they are about 3" taller than the Barco series. Very modular in construction, and super reliable. Video, S-video and RGB inputs.

I do all of the mods (including anamorphic squeeze mod, the power supply/filament mods, and replace a bunch of parts on the video boards that commonly fail) required to make the Marquees more versatile and reliable.
