I know of the DIY procedure but can I buy "real" colored glycol or ?

I got some Roscoe filters that I haven't tried yet, but will do that just to see the difference Very Happy
But I bet that I want to do it for real afterwards.
By they way, is it possible to remove, re-install the tubes while it's ceiling mounted.
Haven't done this before so I would guess it's even more difficult than for you guys but would it be doable for a tube-replacement-newbie ?

Just replace the lenses with HD-144 or HD-145 color filtered lenses with the proper adapter panels. You can also use colored glycol from a Sony if it is in good shape.

The HD-8 lenses are not all that good IMO.

Forgot to include if you swap to the HD144 or 145's they focus at about 12 inches closer to the screen so you have to move either the projector or screen.

Or bigger picture, unless it can't focus properly Very Happy

But isn't the HD144/145's pretty hard to get a hold on nowdays.
I know you can buy the kit to mount HD144/145, but where do you get the lenses.
