Well guys....I just bought a Vidikron Vision One. Curt tells me that this is a Marquee 9500LC. The tubes and assembly including neckboards are from a 2002 unit with P19LCP09's. Bellows are perfect! No burn in on the tubes showing. The unit has a firmware version of 4.xxx and looks to have been built in 96. Tubes are pristine and were replaced last year. Hours on it claim to be around 6400. Not too sure how true that is considering the board that gives that info could be from a newer unit as well. There is also a camera on the front along with a microphone. Guessing the camera is a convergence device. Unit came with a motorized ceiling bracket to lower, raise, and shift side to side. I am very excited to hang this. Wish it had the red C-ellement and LUG tubes. But really cannot complain. Divorced chick wanted to piss off her ex-husband so she sold it to me for 45 bones then moved out of state yesterday. I would post a pic but not sure how. Is there a tutorial for setup similar to the one someone did for the NEC? How do I use the camera? What mods do people recommmend? The model number is 38-P13096-95. THX GANG!!!

Wow, major score. How'd you find it? Craigslist?
I'd say if she wanted to piss her ex off, I'm betting she accomplished that mission.
Did you have to de-install or was it sitting in a garage or something?

It was in her garage covered in plastic....but if you thought the projector deal was good, she sold his 07 mustang GT for 5 grand. That was a pissed off woman. I found her ad in a local classified section. I was looking for a door for a suburban and seeing if anyone was parting one out. I found one and when I got there she showed me things she was also going to list. There it was. She actually got on the phone with her ex and spifully enjoyed telling him she sold it to me for dirt cheap. I also bought a Sony Blue Ray player for 10 bucks. This guy was banging chicks at his work. I guess we men should take notes.

Dear Curt Palme Forum,
I know this is going to sound like a crazy fantasy story, but every word is true. Last weekend I met a soon-to-be divorced, angry women for a routine transaction involving a truck door...little did I know the unexpected surprises that awaited me in her garage! Oh how eager she was to share with me the joys that formerly she shared with her husband!
OK, I have been replaying the scene of finding this PJ for $45 on an errand for a crappy CL pickup as a fantasy I want to experience. What sad little man that makes me, my friends. I've made the following sign and am posting it at my little corner market now.
Matt

Well when I told you I was getting it the other day, I had payed for it but did not pick it up since I was only out to look at a suburban parts truck so I had the small Honda. I did not know she had the other stuff. I had to go back with a bigger car. I just wish I had a shot at the Mustang GT. And if anyone is interested, yes I got the door.

That is my feer. I would get trashed by the old owner. But at the same time I would find out in detail what was previously done to it. However this woman wasn't exactly pretty. But she was in the mood to bang his best friend 5 times over. The disturbance in the force was so great you could feel the hate as she pointed out his stuff. Would have taken the golf clubs had they been a right handed set. I mean this guy probably has no underwear.
