|
|
I have a simple question. How does one remove a tube from a Barco 1209s/Runco 1100 it looks like the four screws in the picture below are how you do it? Can anyone confirm? The service manual is strangely silient on this point. While the wear is not bad on my green it is too darn small to stay within and going outside it will drive me nuts with the color difference. So I am going to do what I swore off of when I removed 3 P16s from Ampro retro hardware and installed them in Barco hardware and I am going to do one more bare tube install (I am getting a new P19 from Greg). Thanks for the input.
Edit: spelling

Undo the 4 bolts as you say, then the top will swing back, but the bottom will be held in with those two bottom pin/clip thingies. While the Barco manual tells you to manipulate the tube to unlock them, I find it easier to put a small flat blade screwdriver between the pin and the metal clip. That will unlock the one side, swing the pin out of the clip, then do the same on the other side.

I have developed a soft spot for this chassis. They are super reliable, very stable in operation, have very quiet fans, very easy to work on and an endless supply of parts available. Also the 9" LC Scheimpflug assembly is a beauty to look at, it is so cleverly designed and it has a high quality finish.

I have to agree I had a 1208s/2 that had some issues (known design flaw in early versions with horizontal width) and so I swapped in a 808s and I was surprised by how noisy it was in comparision. When I got my "Runcos" I honestly wasn't sure I would keep them but they were such a marvel and the picture was sooo nice even with my very quick and ditry setup that I decided I had to keep then. I cannot wait to get my new green and get one set up right.

I would agree... Very nice overall layout and lots of room in the CRT compartment. Most of the boards in the 1208s will also work in the 1209s. Would love to have a Cine 9 but the 1209s is the next best thing and as you say lots of parts out there !
