Have you bought a CRT projector from Curt? Stick a pin in
the map!
We
thought it would be fun to create a Frappr map with all the people that
have bought projectors from Curt in the past. If you're willing to help
out, go to the following website and stick a pin in the map with your
first name, location, and projector type. Thanks!

| I have not been bringing in
as many projectors for the last
2 months, as I wanted to get my
stock lowered. Over 200
projectors in stock was getting
a bit out of hand! I’m now down
to about 150, so I now have many
feelers out again to bring in
some sets. 15 more that are
currently on the way into me
(see the
Upcoming Items page).
I’m still featuring the NEC XG line
of sets this time around along
with two excellent condition
Marquee 9500LC projectors. I
have an overabundance of great
condition NEC XG sets along with
a whole bunch of new parts since
I scrapped some of the smashed
case ones. I will have more 9”
sets for sale shortly as I
retube three Barco 1209 units
that came in recently. I have
also bought some minty blue
tubes for the Sony 12XX series
that have been on the site for a
while. As soon as they come in
I’ll be flipping out tubes in
the worst condition sets there
to make them more saleable.
A PLEA FOR HELP!
Now that this seems to be the
world’s largest site dedicated
to CRT projectors, I’m getting
DAILY emails from newbies
wanting assistance with setting
up their projectors. Those of
you that are now on their second
or third upgrades and want to
possibly make some extra money
assisting others that have just
purchased their first CRT,
PLEASE see consider adding your
contact info to our referral
pages (see here). The more
people that can assist in cities
outside of the Vancouver area
the better. Many newcomers to
the CRT projector world simply
need some guidance on basic
setup. Share your knowledge and
help each other out!

Parts n' stuff
I am adding parts to my stock
daily. I seem to be one of the
only places left that can repair
virtually any CRT module down to
a component level. With some
other casual resellers now out
of the business, rest assured
I'll support ANY CRT projector
out there, whether purchased
from me or not. I’ve recently
parted out a bunch of NEC XG
sets, so I’ve got a great
selection of XG modules in
stock. I’ve also parted out a
bunch of Ampros and have a good
set of tested LVPS and HVPS in
stock that are stable and run
cool.
Email me for info.
Parts needed
(2) Ampro 2000 style remotes.
I've got a need for two good
working old style Ampro remotes.
I've got lots of sets but few
remotes.
As many 8” tubes as I can
get. I’ve got a lot of NEC PG,
PG Xtra, XG, Barco 808 and
Marquee sets that need green and
blue tubes. I’ll pay reasonable
prices for any 8+ condition blue
and green tubes to finish off
these 20+ sets that I have here.
(4) Sony 07MP or 07MSP tubes.
I’d like to sell off the Sony
12XX units that I have here, but
4 have worn blue tubes. Again,
I’ll pay reasonable going rates
for good blue tubes for these.
(2) each of blue and green
P16 tubes as used in the Barco
708 sets. Again, I’ve got two
great sets here, but with worn
tubes, they can’t be sold.
Thanks for your support!

I’ve got a whole bunch of NEC
XG projectors in stock. I’m momentarily
out of the LC series, but more are
coming in shortly. The AC line of XG
sets are the smallest 8” sets out there,
and all of their models will display and
lock to 1080p displays. I’ve got a good
selection of ceiling brackets in stock,
and will supply either an original NEC
remote or a Pronto touch screen remote
as I have either available. AS you go up
in model number (from the XG 75 to the
XG 135), you increase slightly in video
bandwidth, so the pricing for the higher
model sets are a bit more expensive. All
sets are super sharp, have original NEC
tubes installed (not rebuilds) or have
original tubes in great shape as
indicated below. Ceiling brackets
available once again at $150 each with
the purchase of a set. Add a Moome card
(see the Links
page) for complete DVI/HDMI
compatibility and CRT will still be
running circles around digital sets for
years to come.

All NEC XG projectors are true 1200 lumen 8"
EM focus sets. Digital convergence, on
screen menus, video, S-video and RGB
inputs are stock, the component option
is available on the NEC XG 852 models.
100 point convergence allows for super
accurate convergence. The NEC has more
control over the picture than other 8"
sets, making a full set up a bit
daunting, but when it's complete, you'll
find it's well worth the effort. Smaller
than most competing 8" sets, they've
been very reliable, and I've sold lots.
Here's the breakdown:
XG 75: Scans to 75Khz
(past 1080p).
XG 85: Scans to 85Khz (and has component
inputs!).
XG 110: Scans to 110Khz.
XG 135: Scans to 135Khz.
For home theater use,
these models all behave very much the
same.
'LC' models add liquid coupled tubes for
better contrast ratios and less halo'ing.

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.

Marquee
9500LC: I’ve got two of these high
end 9” sets in stock. Great condition
tubes, no visible wear, great emission
(g2) levels. All mods (power supply and
anamorphic squeeze) done. One of the
best deals going with high end 9” sets.
Cases in good shape. Very reliable, the
best picture comes out of a 9” set.
Ceiling bracket INCLUDED with these two
sets. Wireless remote and power cord
included. I’ll preset the projectors for
your screen size and will set several
memories for various aspect ratios and
resolutions. Boost the performance of
these to beyond the Ultra level with the
reasonable priced MP mods (see my
Forum). These mods can be added at
the time of the sale or added down the
road as budget allows. Moome also offers
a DVI/HDMI card for these projectors,
again, see the
Links page. |
