is there a pot on some board somewhere which will decrease vsiz a bit more?

No, you'd have to go in and mod resistors.

Like Curt said, there i no trimpot for vertical size adjustments on the Cine 7.
However, on the deflection module R7627625 you'll find two trimpots for vertical amplitude on red and blue only ( P239 and P 240 ). One should tweak those to match the vertical amplitude of the reference green in case of a tube swap. The green adjustment is only acieved by sliding the deflection yoke for and aft on the tube neck, but i won't use that. All three yokes should be hard against the tube belly.
If you installed the PJ at the correct distance from the screen, you should not run out of min. vertical size, even for a cinemascope screen. Bringing the PJ a bit closer to the screen may fill your desired height.
Also, your vert. linearity could be off. The geometry adj. on CRT's work in pairs : size and linearity, keystone and skew, seagull and bow. The process is very iterative, one adjustment influencing the other. Make a new memory block ( press 95 or 93, depending on your input port ) and tweak V linearity and V size, you'll see the huge difference.
Use an external crosshatch pattern at the same resolution you will watch video when doing this.

Curt, i have a barco cine 7 that has the sf led on and the 9v rail gone. How do i fix it? Before the image was shaking and crackling noises from the smps. Now it dosent turn on.

Email me at curtpalme at shaw.ca I'd have to repair your SMPS, as there are very few Cine 7 parts out there as spares.

my barco unfortunatly broke down Sad

how much can i sell the tubes, lens and other stuff for?

Pretty much nothing at this point. There's almost no market for Cine 7 stuff, although feel free to post it here. I'd assume the HV quadrupler and SMPS are defective, and you'd have to post pix of the tube faces to see if there's any wear. If you don't want it repaired, I'd take the unit to the recycler at this point.

just a random question. can i mod a sony vph-1001qm to support rgbhv? i think its the video processing board is that right? i know its old but i still like it.

for my sony vph 1001gm I discovered the internal test pattern is sending a rgb signal to the video prosessing board. I think it's RGB and sync. Is they're a way to send rgbhv signals to it? Also is there a way to eliminate scanlines on it?

**Curt Palme** · Posted: Sun Jan 17, 2016 4:52 pm Post subject:

No, there is no way to increase the scan rate. You need a different projector.

For the scaliness ill stay with it. is there any converter that turns rgbhv to rgbs signals?

**Curt Palme** · Posted: Mon Jan 18, 2016 3:13 pm Post subject:

Just use a BNC T connector to combine the H and V cables to composite sync format. No converters needed.
