Hello,

I recently obtained a Barco Data 801s but I am unsure of the value of this particular projector.
I don't have a lot of experience with CRT projectors, I picked it up on a whim but found my space is unable to hold the beast.
Seems to power on fine and the bulbs seem to be worn.
Trying to sell it off local for parts or restoration but I'm unsure of the value.

Thanks!

They're tubes, not bulbs.

Honestly a basic 8" machine like that today is worthless.

You'd be very lucky to get 200 dollars for it today, and that's if the tubes were in minty condition.

thanks,
I recently had some people looking for parts and thought it was worth a bit more.
Maybe I'll give a shot at selling it here if anyone is interested.

I'd put it on Craigslist as a freebie. I don't think you'll even get $200 for it at this point, sorry!
