A couple of months ago you were talking about loading up a set of these for your own Quee.
Did you do it and how did you find the focus at high contrast? |
Not yet. I must admit, this forum is keeping from doing what i have to do.
I need for my internet to be off for a month!!!

I can't tell you the exact hour count because I swapped in a replacement CPU board because the original CPU's battery was dead. The original set of tubes had about 7K hours on them when they were replaced. The PJ was set up on a 120 inch screen and the contrast was cranked. I re-tubed 3 times so it's actually running on the 4th set of tubes, on a much smaller screen. I can't remember but after the 1st or 2nd re-tube I had a green tube implode so it's actually on the 5th green. Right now I estimate 7K on Nash's tubes and just checked them with a flashlight and see no wear marks on the phosphor.
If I were to guess how many hours are on the chassis I would say 35-40K.

See that's the way you should use a CRT projector. All day, every day
