I got one with the same kind of score... did the daily search and it popped up. Drove over there wth cash in my truck with a bad head gasket... snagged it as another guy was trying to get it.
So... what did you get?

Barco 1209s Very Happy
HD300 Lenses
Tubes (RGB) 9/8/9
1998 build date
w/ camera convergence thing

Holy crap was that thing heavy. I was expecting it to be bigger than my PG, but when I actually saw it, I was still shocked.

Awesome!! Same thing I got... no remote with mine either. I'm not familiar with the HD-300 lenses, but you definitely scored.

Is there a ceiling mount with it? If not, I can show you my unistrut version. The remotes show up on Ebay fairly often, but you need to be sure you get the right one.

It has the plate for ceiling mounting, so i figure ill just mod my current unistrut setup (NEC PG) to mak eit work. It does have a remote something in that pop out drawer. I didnt give it much of a look though. As soon as I get rid of my PG's, Ill set it up and start playing with it.

Yeah, I was shocked when I saw how big mine was too. Made the back of my truck look small. Does it have colored c-elements? We want pictures!

How can you tell if it has colored c-elements? My guess is going to be if it didnt come stock with them, no. This guys theater was kickass but it definitely wasnt diy. It was buy really expensive stuff then pay a tech to set it all up.

Look into the lenses. You should clearly see if they are colored or not.

The guy who sold it told me about 10 people called or emailed him after I did. Probably half of them are here.
