I have a Barco 808s in perfect condition.
The problem is, during the move and mounting the guns were mis-adjusted.
Well, I tried hiring a "pro" to do the last bit, but no one will touch it because of the age (1996).
So, I have come here begging for help.
I'm going to try and mount a copy of a jpg I made and if anyone has any thoughts about how to approach the problem, I'd appreciate some direction (what settings to start with etc...)

What exactly is the problem? I see a CRT projector that needs to be set up. The barco manuals are VERY easy to follow and are here:

Download the correct one, and start on page 1. Jumping into the set at random will get you nowhere except for frustrated. 
CRT is completely a do it yourself thing at this point, you can't rely on any tech to support you, save for the people here.
Let us know if you get stuck, but you're in for a 3-4 hour learning curve as you learn what each control does. Then once you get good at it, you can go from this to a decently setup picture within 30 minutes.

I'll second that. The Barco's have guided onscreen setup. Read the manual first then try following the onscreen guided setup. I've done a few of these and they are well designed and easy to follow once you understand it. AND Curt doesn't exaggerate, once you get the hang of it you can get a watchable picture in 30 minutes.
Your other option is to post your location and see if one of us is near enough to come help you.

I wish my setup looked that well after a move. Take a few hours on a weekend and do it right (3 times) and you'll be back to watching movies that night. Looks like you have a really good start there. Trust the 3 times thing. It gets you familiar with the projector and it gets just a little bit better each time you do it.
