There’s new ‘how to’ information on the Zenith PRO 851 on the site now and much more info is to come, as I’d like to round out the technical section for the projectors that I’m missing by the end of the year. The forum section of the site has been expanded with new categories. Feel free to post often!

Transcoders

Audio Authority has now discontinued the 9A65 transcoder that I was selling in the past. I’ve got a couple of these units left, but have switched to the much more versatile AA 1365 model. This unit has no compatibility problems with any component source, and actually is a mini scaler, capable of outputting up to 1080p from a component source. The unit has on screen menus, control over the drive levels of each output (R, G, and B), has internal color and tint controls, and can also act as a reverse transcoder, (RGB input to component output). The pricing is a bit more expensive than the old transcoder, but at the added features, they are well worth the price. Also note that the transcoder comes with a short (1’) SVGA to 3 RCA cable for the component connection, and a 2’ SVGA to SVGA cable for the output.  See here.

Accessories

I’ve now got good stock of short (5’) good quality SVGA to 5 BNC breakout cables. At $25 USD, these molded cables are usually stronger than custom made cables with that flimsy SVGA end soldered on. I then use BNC to BNC couplers to couple these to custom made BNC to BNC cables (also now on the site here).

Projectors,  projectors..

I am not featuring any sets specifically this time around. I’ve got many new sets in , all makes and models, so I’ll simply update the entire list of projectors, with a ‘new’ designation on the new arrivals. I have reduced pricing on the entry level on all Sony 10XX sets (with the exception of the 1001 that’s a later model) to $300 USD. Now EVERYONE can get into a CRT. I won’t be bringing in any more Sony 10XX series after this, but still will support them for a long time.

There’s a bunch of new NEC sets on the list. I managed to pick up 16 of them for low $$, but most of the cases have some gouges or scratches on them. No cracks or plastic chunks missing. The tubes are in great shape though. That means yet more price reductions!.. :)

Also new on the site are the high end hard to find NEC ISS-6010 switchers. I’ve got them listed as complete units or individual boards for those of you that already have these switchers and just need modules. I’ve got about 10 of these switchers left.

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.

Parts needed

I am looking for a few parts that I'm willing to buy or trade other stuff for:

(2) P19 green tube in an 8+ condition. Again, hardware is not important, I can swap that out.

(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.

Thanks for your support!
