Thanks Nashou, I have read that but it doesn't say where the screw is located. But while I was there I noticed the manual which said if optional Gamma is installed turn screw [that looks to be next to the HDMI input]. I have no screw there. The screw I was referring to was on the board. You would have to remove the Moome card to access it.

So I guess that I don't have that option. Sad

I ran GOZER for 6 hours last night. No leaks, and the bellows weren't even warm when I turned it off. I will Keep monitoring it. Also I did not use any RTV.

A note on installing the bellows DO NOT put the LC chamber together with the bolts before you install the C-Element. It will push the bellow off of the housing OR compress the bellow in such a way as to produce a brown ring on screen during bright scenes. My blue needs to be re-done to get rid of this phenomena.

This is my fault not the bellows, the red and green are fine. The blue never felt right but I went ahead any way. I'll fix it later.


Dave, just a follow up here as Dale at Apple rubber wants to know how the Seal is on the bellows with no RTV. I assume it's still going strong?

I will repost this in the new Below faqs thread also.

You are correct I did not use anything, no RTV, no adhesives, nothing but the tiny little screws that are already there . It's been a couple of months and a few hundred hours and there are no leaks of any kind.

For anyone following GOZER'S transformation it has gone like this

1] Installed Red Color corrected element with new bellow from here.

2] Installed other 2 bellows form here

3] Used Eye One to kinda calibrate it, color temp was 6583k but the luminesce is pissing me off still and I will have to get back to that.

4] [Not on the list] The latest MP upgrades to the Neckboards and VIM

5] Replaced the dropped HDM [Thanks Curt] yes I dropped the HDM Shocked Embarassed

6] The new Full HD Moome V-2 card

7] Nothing for a while Question Twisted Evil

Well I guess a while was relative> I got bored and built a Frame for Wilsonart Designer White D354-60. the DW will be here on Tuesday-10-13.

Edit: as you can see above it's a big difference in size Shocked

I figured that the screen size of 119' diagonal 58x104 viewable will help with corner focus some. My current screen is 100" diagonal 49x87 viewable. Right now the lenses are almost fully adjusted to one side. Hopefully this size increase will move the lense adjustment more towards the center of the adjustment. This screen is as big as my viewing position will allow so it will have to be good enough, unless I want to buy HFQ's.

Hmmmm HFQ's Cool Well maybe later. Mr. Green
