Only one left to pick up, Tbx (Thomas) his in in customs.
Even though this was a lot of work it made me proud to be part of this world wide Community of us CRT lovers. A few years a go I never would have thought I would get this involved in something with such a widespread global following. It has been great and a excellent learning experience and I hope we all stay together and keep this great Hobby I have become obsessed with alive for years ahead.
This effort went from the USA,Canada,Italy,Australia,Netherlands,Sweden,Switzerland,Denmark and Germany!!! Now that is Effin cool !

Italian, Dutch....both terrible customs (but perhaps they got a good reason for it )

Nice eye......I couldn't get hold of any Marquee spec Green elements well not for under $350 anyway  I managed to track down an element from a Sony 1292 for nix through the generosity of one of our local Aussie forum members, not quite as close to primary like the marquee ones...but better than the clear's that are originally fitted. I'm not sure how the G90's tint compares to the 1292 as there is no information avaliable, unlike the measurements of the G90's.

The 1292 uses the proper green C-element. The G90 is the only projector that uses a different green C-element.

Arno, I found a better way to take out the old C-elements. Look on the side's of the back LC housing and see the pivot pins, they are threaded inside. Take one of the srews you took out of the front housing and screw it into that pin and pull the pin out on both sides . Then remove the back LC housing, you'll have to remove the plastic cover too, the ones i was working on are bare tubes so not sure if you need to remove anything else but i dont think so. Then you have to remove the metal gasket, this is tight fit so if your allen key's "L" is not "short" enough you may have to cut it down to fit between the housing and screws. remove that and its now easier to push the Bellow through the hole and now you are able to use a blade to help in removing the C-element.
