I got a free 1209s with 7000hours, and wonder if the 9" tubes will fit in my Marquee 9500lc, and what lenses is on the 1209s.

Should i use time to compare it to my 9500 ??

SCORE! YOU SUCK! Smile

The tubes will fit, but you need to swap the housings, and move the G2 lead to pin 6, a simple CRT board modification.
/HD120 lenses on the 1209s.

Sets are pretty much comparable overall in performance, but the LUG tubes in the 1209s are a bit sharper than the stock 9500 tubes.

Thanks Curt.

I dont need tubes or lenses, but its always nice to have some backup, I just hope its in nice condition.

Not too useful, unfortunately.

HD-180 it's a Barco labeled HD10-GT26, optimized for large screens (it provides the best performance on 20 feet diagonal screens).
Screen width between 74,4 and 240 inch.
Throw distance between 115 and 370,1 inch.

74,4" wide will be fine for my 90" and 110" 16-9 screens. Very Happy
