The natural order of evolution dictates that for a new species to flurish, something must go. It's not a matter of what but when. You are only fighting the enevitable. Dumping boatloads of cash into a sinking ship (in this case the engines have already gone under) is a waste of money. I say enjoy what you now have, burn up those tubes and move on.
I for one will not, for a fourth time, re-tube or replace with another CRT. IT's time has past and I realize that.
I knew the second I finished redoing the living room, bringing it into the digital age that my theaters analog days were numbered. |
That just can't be right. In evolutionary terms Monkeys precede humans and the monkeys are still here. Hopefully those of us that keep our CRT projectors alive aren't monkeys. Its not the projectors that are the problem it the people who own them and its clear that some owners should move on and it beggers belief that they spend time trying to convince others to go too.

No no no. Monkeys aren't our ancestors. Monkeys are our *cousins*. We both descended from a common ancestor.
So maybe CRTs and digital PJs are cousins, both descended from earlier magic-lantern projectors. Does that make us the monkeys??

So, who thought in 2011 that you could not even sell a Cine 8 Onyx in great condition (perfect blue and red and I put in a new green) for a couple hundred bucks?!?!? Yeah, I'm now convinced the market is completely dead. |
You sir are lying....I myself as well as others would have paid at last 300 for the unit on ebay.

That's a little strong - perhaps it could be said that more effort could have been put into marketing,
but it is likely there was little desire to pack and ship, considering the relatively low return.

I don't think so.. He's in a large metropolitan area... It shouldn't have been difficult at all to find a buyer that would pay at least a couple hundred bucks - if not more. I'm in a metro area, and I'm confident I'd have no trouble selling my G70 for at least a couple hundred NOW.

There's just no way I would switch my BR 909 for a digital. If it fails I will spend time searching for spares. Those old suckers got charm and needs love, but it sure gives love back...
Without CRT there will only be plasma...

I have 3 G70s, one which I currently use has 4K hours on it and is still plenty fine for watching. When it gets too tired I will switch to a G70 with 300 hours on it, when that goes I will switch to one that has 2K hours on it. I figure I got about 10 years to go with these 3 projectors (I'm 68). By then maybe I will move to digital if I can still see straight. I love the picture of these with the Moome card installed and I can't see changing them for anything else.
