Mid & high end projector blowout
October 28, 2011

It's time to blow out some of my mid and high end projectors at great prices!

Marquee 8500: I have two only with excellent condition tubes, very low hours on them. 1200 lumens, 1080p capable, filament and other reliability modifications done to the sets. $1500 each.

Sony G90: Brand new green tube, no wear on the R and B tubes. New Dallas chip. Original Sony remote included. Fantastic condition overall, a phenomenal 1080p image. $3500.00

Marquee 9500 Ultra: October 2002 build date, all new tubes in the set. Rare HD10E lenses included, which are equivalent to the HFQ900 lenses. The Ultra build date has all the latest performance mods in it. $6500.00

Marquee 9500 Ultra: Also a 2002 build date, very light wear on the tubes, a low hour (<2000) chassis and on the tubes. $3500.00

Barco 909: Two sets available. Mint condition, these were re-tubed literally 100 hours before they were pulled out of service. HFQ 900 lenses, the best possible CRT lenses. 2500 X 2500 resolution possible. Nice blue cases in great shape. P43 LUG tubes makes these sets ready for 3D to boot. Original shipping cases and remotes included. It doesn’t get better than this! $7000.00 each
