Hi

Was cleaning / tweeking my beloved Sony VPH-1271QM out last week as it was full of dust geting it ready to watch with friends and family over the Christmas vacation, thought I would post a picture of my tubes and conduct a bit of a quiz for Chrismas fun.

I know the entire history of the projector from the moment it was bought and installed / used right up untill I removed and gave it a new home a few years ago, the tubes are the original factory fitted ones.

Contrast always run just under the facory default of 80

Anyone dare to guess the hours on these bad boys ?

The poster closest to the mark + / - 10 hours this time next week is the winner.

Prize = a very big well done and a cyber pat on the back from me.

Merry Christmas to you all.

MrCRTing.

Some good guesses so far keep them coming.

Hint Curt Palme's guess is the closest so far.
