My wife said I seem very dedicated to continue to help friends with this hobby. I just like to tinker with old stuff. It is part of the fun. If I wanted the latest and greatest with lower value, I guess I would spend time doing so. But for me this is fun considering I have yet to be blown away by anything new. But tinkering is fun. Most newer projectors are one single board. Boring!!! I like this stuff. It is fun to tinker...Now that winter will start to die in a month or so, I can also focus on my lawnmower project. I just wish a forum exhisted for that like Curts does for CRT. That would be fantastic!! But...I know I would not be able to do this without you guys. So.....thx everyone!

Well isn't that the point? If the lawnmower started, there'd be no need for a forum <rimshot!>

Well there are different kinds with different features and just like CRT, you can mod those too. Different blades, paint, wheels, add self propel kits.

Well just like these hot-rodded CRT's, they will be bragging about wheelstanding, hole shot, rubber burning monsters. Laughing

And if the height setting on the mower breaks while you're mowing, you'll get spot burn.
