...and has had no modifications done to it.
The tubes have a bit of burn on them and I was thinking about doing the HD-8 mod. Since I wouldn't mind the price of a good G70, should I bother upgrading this one?
I'd sure appreciate any advice. (And if I upgrade to the G70, can I re-use the existing ceiling mount?)
Thanks,
Dan

The Joust adapter plates so that different tubes can be used?

Different lenses not tubes, the adapter plates allow you to use HD-144/145 lenses on a machine that comes stock with HD-8 sized lenses.
IMO I would upgrade the projector before I would do this mod. As the 12xx Sony machines are already color filtered all you'd gain would be better focus and I'd bet most of the benifit would be lost due to the softer ES tubes.

I'll second that. Although if I ever got around to buying a set of adaptor plates from that guy in Ottawa I'd do it to my 1252. BUT
I have some new ( < 400 hour ) tubes for my 1252. If you are over 3000 hours I don't think it will make a huge difference. You could post a picture of your current lenses. Maybe a set of PT65's if you have PT43's would be an improvment?? Other's WILL contradict me.
