Ahhhhh.................Ummmmmmmm

Damn, I cant think of anything to make this Ampro look any better. The picture is perfect right out of the box. Add to that, this damn thing never breaks down. It just keeps shooting a wonderful picture.

Well I guess this will be a short thread.... Laughing

Well I'll have to admit, I am having a problem with my 4600HD. It's got so many hours on it that the cooling fans are getting loud. So I don't quite know if it's maintenance or modification but I'll be re-fanning it soon. Other than that, she's a peach Thumbs Up

It never got finished. Two people promissed me the third LC coupling that I needed to finish it up. Both failed me.
That projector sits on a bench until I accuire the third missing link. That mod however is way more work then the payoff is worth. It will only be realized through test patterns and not full motion video.
If I could waive a magic wand and do anything to a AmPro it would be to raise the bandwidth of the neckboards. Again, that is only realized through test patterns.
As far as I'm concearned, a pretty paint job, a set of LUG's and red and green c-elements is all that's needed with a 4600HD.

Oooops, forgot about the raster centering rings Thumbs Up
