Barco 808S 1208S 1209S video channels are known 180MHZ bandwidth with 909 identical, differing only in CRT socket difference. In fact, the transformation socket can get the same video bandwidth of 909 directly to obtain excellent focusing screen.
CRT socket difference is the use of IC S series socket is that the use of LC 80MHZ VPH08 nominal frequency compensation method is difficult to obtain a flat 120MHZ Bandwidth, 909socket model of IC is unknown and can not be purchased. My internal circuit transformation according VPH06 bandwidth constraints transistor, get 909 plate same bandwidth results.
This circuit is very common for CRT socket NEC PG EHome is the same, and the circuit is to replace higher bandwidth without changing the transistor. vph08 inside the IC is empty, just around the saw with a saw four complete separation 3MM depth can be obtained inside cover. I used 400MHZ bandwidth 2SA1406 C3600 replacement IC internal power output three tubes TR3.4, of course, put the original three complete discharge tube wiring can not have contact. IC's R4 must consider external 5W power, my final solution is still to use VPH08 external current limiting resistor. 200V voltage will be great because the heat can not use VPH internal resistance, but only VPH06 external VPH08 itself is built. With VPH06 is because some Barco CRT socket is VPJ08 is plastic can not be modified and can only be removed VPJ08 replaced VPH06 transformation.
I try to transform the IC is VPH25 18 15 VPA13, found inside the IC TR2 is different. TR2 of the pressure can not meet the needs of the input voltage 200V ic, VPH06 VPH08 withstand voltage of TR2 higher bandwidth is low. This effect is good enough

Finally after the transformation of image effects, 808S circuit P19LCP07 HD10GT17 this character has been unprecedented clarity. I saw the sharpest CRT Projector, Modified Green can see the scan lines, unmodified Barco 1209S is impossible to observe I've been using nominal 150MHZ bandwidth XG1352LC, the effect was not as good display characters tailgate after this transformation Barco

I only have 1 word for this, AMAZING!

Do you have any more information about this? I'm very interested in this mod! Maybe you offer these mods?

sorry English is not good, google translate too bad
This means that if Barco replace the VPH08 IC transistor within the focusing improved significantly

Do you consider selling these mods? This would be an excellent upgrade for everyone with lower resolution Barco's!

If not, maybe you can provide us with more detailed information about this mod, i'm sure a lot of people here might be interrested in the DIY approach!

Transistor ebay easy to find . had no plans to sell Modify the IC making this process will not be difficult I will try to answer

VPA25H is hard to find, I have some VPA18. Can you explain your modification one more time

Some questions for knowledge: you have pulled VPH08 and replaced it with modified VPH06, is right?
But I see that you have removed two of the three big resistors (white) from PCB. Is right?

I had P16LNP's in my old Barco.

These were razor sharp witout any mods and 1080p looked great.

Modified pointless old Barco must electromagnetic focus, I've tried to modify VPA18 15 13 can work only VPH08 06

Yes, three big resistors (white), because 06.08 R4 using different values​​. VPH06 R4 is best to modify the built-in external 5W power resistors

Unfortunately have no shots of the old setup.

Additional to the P16 i used HD-145 with plates. It was a huge step up vs. HD-8.

Not changed CRTsocket Barco even if the replacement of HD145 focusing ability compared to other Electromagnetic focus CRT differentiated

I'm seeking the components.
I've found 2SA1406 transistors.
But I've no found C3600, there are equivalent?
Can you say the characteristics of the other components?

Maybe the 2SA1407/2SC3601 pair would be also suitable for the purpose but they have more parasitic capacitance (which is bad), they seem a bit more widely available (on e-bay at least...)
Find attachments!
