This will be a short list of working units; I have not had time this
week to repair a lot of units due to my day job being very busy. I
should be back up to speed by the end of next weekend. I will however
list a bunch of units 'in the works'. If you are interested in these,
please let me know, and I will attack them in the order that I receive
the emails...

As always, all prices are in US dollars. Shipping not included. I
strongly recommend airport to airport shipping; I have had 4 units
shipped via truck get damaged in the last month. 3 out of 4 projectors
have been repaired, but both the customers and I are still waiting for
insurance money from the shipper. Frustrating all the way 'round! I have
never had a projector be DOA when I have shipped air.

Please let me know if you do not want this list, and I will remove you immediately.

Unless stated, I would expect you to get at least 5000 hours out of each
of these units.

Some useful websites for those of you new to CRT projectors, home
theater, and satellite, etc...:

www.avsforum.com
www.projectorspecs.com

Projectors ready to go:

1- Sony 1031. 550 lumens, analog convergence, tubes in reasonable shape,
expect about 4000 hours use out of the unit. Small, compact units, these
scan to 32 Khz, making them capable of line doubling. Video and RGB
inputs $550.00

1- NEC DP-1200. 475 lumens, digital convergence, scans to 32 Khz, making
it compatible with line doublers. Tubes in good shape. Wired remote
mandatory for setup included.

$500.00

1- Barco Data 800. 132 hours on the unit, but the hour meter is stuck,
so that is not accurate. Tubes have been replaced with an estimated 4000
hours on them. Case is missing the plastic strip that has the logo on it
that covers the lens adjustments. 825 lumens, 8" Sony tubes, 58 Khz scan
rate. Digital convergence, on screen menus. Cheeep, due to the missing
cover...

$1100.00. I normally sell these for $1500.00.

1- wireless remote $150.00
1- ceiling bracket $125.00

2- Sony 1252. Pictures attached. One is currently on ebay with a
$1300.00 reserve. 61.5 Khz scan rate, 700 lumen, digital convergence.
about 3000 hours on the tubes Great picture. Video, S-video and RGB
inputs. Super reliable sets. $1300.00 each

UPCOMING:

1 or 2 more Sony 10XX series. Probably 1031's. Same specs as the one
above.

5- Barco Graphics 800. Same specs as the Data 800 above, but 90 Khz scan
rate. These have high hours on them (19K to 22K), but the tubes are
supposed to be mint. Either the units were left on 24/7 with little use
on the tubes, or they have been retubed. I should have them here next
weekend. If these 5 turn out OK, I will be buying 13 more from the same
source...

2- NEC PG-9100. Brand new rebuilt green and blue tubes, the reds are in
great shape. 850 lumens, digital convergence, remotes included. 93 Khz
scan rate, Video, S-video and RGB inputs. One of my favorite sets. 10K
hour tube life expectancy. I have retubed and sold two of the 4 I had,
the tubes for the last 2 should be here this week.

$2800.00 each.

3- NEC PG-6000. Little brother to the 9100 above. Same tubes, same
chassis, but the 6000 only scans to 60 Khz. One will have new blue and
green tubes, the others are not here yet, but are supposed to have good
tubes.

3- Electrohome Marquee series projectors. two 8000's, one 8001. All need
2 or three new tubes. These are the MEC rebuildable tubes, but the
rebuilder is having some startup problems with the tubes. IT'll be 4-6
weeks I estimate before the bugs are worked out. When they are, these
Marquees will give phenomenal pictures with rebuilt tubes. Digital
convergence, 135 khz scan rate, 1000-1200 lumens brightness.

4- Barco 1208 Similar very high end projectors, Video, S-video and RGB
inputs. 1200 lumens, 135 Khz scan rate. These also use MEC tubes, and
all need at least two rebuilt tubes. Same scenario as the MEC tubes used
in the Electrohome above.

1- BArco 1200. 9" tubes, 1200 lumens, digital convergence, 80 Khz scan
rate. I should be getting to this one in about a month or so...

1- NEC GP-5000. 9" tubes, digital convergence, 650 lumens, 75Khz scan
rate. A nice projector with good resolution. I just have to get to it to
test it...

2- Barco 808. The little brother to the Barco 1208. Smaller chassis and
case as the 1208, but same 8" MEC tubes. Digital convergence, 1200
lumens, 110 Khz scan rate. Video, S-video and RGB outputs. These are the
guinea pigs for the MEC tube rebuilds. One tube got rejected and is back
at the rebuilders. Hopefully I will have these back this week.

1- Sony 1272. 4000 hours. Case in fair shape. The unit works, but had a
failure that burnt out all three tubes. The fault that caused this has
been repaired, and I have to drop in good used tubes to make it
functional. The flagship of the 12XX series (not including the 1292).
700 lumens, 1995 vintage, digital convergence, on screen menus, 92 Khz
scan rate. Video, S-video and RGB inputs.

1- Barco 2100 LC LCD projector. 900 lumens, I know no other specs at
this time. Power supply is defective and is out getting rebuilt. I do
not know the bulb hours. That is crucial in determining the resale
price...

ODDBALL DEPT.

5- Electrohome RGB splitters. Active circuitry to take one RGBS or RGBHV
signal and split it to two projectors. BNC ins and outs.

$50.00 each

1- Crown DC-300A power amplifier. Mid 1970's vintage, this unit puts out
150 watts RMS per channel. A true pro audio power amplifier, 19" rack
mounts, front face plate in good condition ( a few minor nicks, but a
great example of a classic power amplifier)

$400.00

We have had a small restaurant/bar go under on us, so we had to
repossess all of our sound and lighting equipment. I expect the entire
system had about 40 hours use. We installed it just before Christmas
2000, and the place never took off, so they had a DJ in for the grand
opening, and about 3 more nights after that. The system sat idle after
that.

Equipment as follows:

1- Denon DN-2000 dual DJ CD player $500.00
1- Inter M M-1000 500 watt RMS/chan power amplifier
(3 year warranty still good) $500.00
1- Inter M stereo compressor/limiter $150.00
1- Inter M stereo 2 way crossover w/sub output $100.00
2- Smoke machines w/2 jugs smoke juice, controller $150.00ea
1- American DJ 12 channel touch panel w/3 power packs $250.00
Various lighting effects, pinspots, etc--->well below dealer cost. I can
send pictures, etc if interested.

COMING UP:

4 Ampex ATR-700 10 1/2" reel to reel decks. Broadcast quality 7 1/2 and
15 IPS machines. rack mount. Waiting for function switches that should
be here this week. Machines will be fully calibrated and biased. I used
to be heavily into reel to reel restoration before this projector thing
took off...

Thanks for your support!
