I notice that SR1 in the convergence output board is different than SR2 (should be equal)

I'm glad my preparation for shipping was successful and the projector arrived safely. The convergence board was a swap provided by Curt.

I have not opened the cover of the boards and of the tubes.
Let me know if I need to change the voltage of the power supply (220v in Italy).
However, tomorrow I'll check the voltage selector.

The seller was especially careful in the preparation of the packaging.

Good thing it went via air and not truck. With the projectors and lenses overhanging the pallet like that, there's a good chance it would have been clipped by a forklift and both would have been toast. Had that happen about 4 times so far..

Tubes look to be in great shape though as I expected.

Congrats. Nice machine.
You should check ( resolder ) L6 on the convergence output board too. It doesn't look ok to me.

The lenses were enclosed in the separate box.
Surrounded by a generous layer of soft sponge.

Well done. I would be interested to see what you think of picture quality as you have an LC808s.

I tried to power on the projector today.

The green image have a strange "flicker".
The red and the blue seems regular.

Tomorrow I'll try to swap neckboards.

Here the video:

Yeah,

There seems to be some interference on the green video channel. Most likely located to the end of the video chain as it is present in the menus...

You guessed!
The good news is that the resistor didn't smoked.
So I guess that the issue may be in one of the boards of the convergence tray.
I have all spare parts and I'll try to swap they one by one.

First of all I've swapped the Convergence Output board and the issue seems to disappeared.

Thumbs Up

Now I must to set a strange rasters (set all to midposition) that appear too little and irregular Confused
See here ... there are a same retrace lines to all colours.
Pictures was made without source, 15khz pattern, low contrast, high brightness to reveal the rasters.
The green have the lens but appear as other two colours.
