SOLD*SOLD*SOLD*SOLD*SOLD*SOLD* PENDING PICK UP

Statement: I have a Sony G-70 in really decent shape with a couple VDC rebuilds and a factory tube, another set of new Panasonic spare tubes, a whole set of spare boards from a working set, Moome HDMI IFB board, a Sony switcher full of IFB's, Chief ceiling mount, Sony cables for the switcher, a whole bunch of BNC to VGA cables. Also have a spare set of stock lenses, the lenses on the set are the upgraded color corrected ones. Service manuals, bottles of glycol;, Sony remote control too. The set has maybe 200 hours on the tubes and was set up and re-tubed by Terry Ferintinos a few tears ago. Now the real question: Is this stuff worth finding a home for or should I take it all to the electronics recycling center for burial? I hate just pitching all of this after the expense and passion over the years put into it. Open to suggestions and any interest for all or part. Items are located in Indianapolis, Indiana. Thanks, Dennis

Ah! I was just in Evansville last month.

I've been on the look-out for a green tube for years.

Now I'm not sure I want to bother anymore.

I say give it time, the right person will happen along.

All still available. Maybe the analog stuff will come back in popularity as vinyl albums and 35mm film cameras. But in the mean time, willing to consider driving to meet someone half way. Take it all for $200

Trying to now, been wanting to for a long time Very Happy

I've been into direct-view Sony CRT monitors (PVMs and BVMs) for a couple years now, but I think projectors are just orders of magnitude more interesting. I'll post a proper introduction once I take delivery!

Yes you will. Great set to compliment your collection. If he hadn't sold it by the time the virus ban was lifted I was going to pick it up.

Of course I'd rather see it goto someone with no projector. I have a 'few' already.

Welcome to the forum and to CRT projection.

What PVM and BVM's do you have ?

Back when CRT was king I had a Sony Profeel 27" KX-27PS1 with that funky detachable glass panel outboard speakers and control box. Back in the 80's it was THE consumer Trinitron system. Eventually it started having issues which I was able to get fixed but I sold it when I moved to the US from Italy.
In the US my last Trinitrons were the PVM 2950 with its cool industrial design and touch controls. And I also had the last and greatest 32XBR960 HDTV which i picked up from Fryes at the end of the CRT era.
I feel I still have my foot in the past as I have two Pioneer 60" Kuro Plasma screens as my daily viewing monitors. A KRP-600M and a Signature Series PRO-141FD both of which I picked up cheap on CL. The image these monitors put out is still stunning IMO esp 1080p24.

I love my XBR960. The colors on the thing are unreal and puts my 4k Sony to shame in the 3D looks department. I am hoping one day I will find the proper stand for it and fix the geometry issues. Welcome to the projector community; I am also rather new. Missed out on a g70 so you'll have to let me know how it is!
