I have a set of flawless 9" tubes from an old NEC GP-5000. Are they compatible for anybody's use? The red tube is an NEC #C9M202P22R.

It is a very early generation 9" LC, ES projector from NEC. It had limited bandwidth and was ES focused.

No, not sure, but just assumed because of the age.

Gp-5000 had color filtered (including RED) C-elements and HD-10 lenses, LC housings would be more desirable, than bare tubes Wink

BE careful, NEC siliconed in their C elements, and removing them can be a bitch.
