Hell. If I had to replace 200 parts on just one board to keep my projector running I would tie it to a rope and the other end of the rope to my boat. Then I'd get some good use out of it. Laughing
LOL, well on one said anyone with a Quee HAD to replace anything. It's like a tune up for a car, you don't need to replace the fart plugs or air filter to keep driving but the car might run a little better if you do.


Right even though I am definitely a POOGE guy I have not done anything to my Longbows. They actually converge in about 8 minutes to each other in the blend zone. But every 3 months each PJ needs convergence to green so i think the CVA resistors are coming out and the larger ones are going in. But it could just be me needing to loosen the tube mounting screws while she warms up and then tighten it all down real tight. Mechanical drift is also key to keeping convergence steady.

LOL. Again, to much fiddling.....not enough watching and enjoying. Laughing


When my Ampros were mounted and running I cant ever remember having to adjust anything after the initial install. Thumbs Up

Cant wait to get them up again. Very Happy

I still need to fire up the 3600 I have just sitting there. maybe this weekend I'll put it on my extra PJ cart and wheel it into the theater.

You do need to replace the big 47uf cap on a PG Deflection board, with a 470uf cap.


That's fixing a mistake, not a "mod".
