OKAY HERE IS MY DELIMA. I HAVE 3 CRT PROJECTORS THAT I GOT ON CRAIGSLIST FOR FREE. 1-PANASONIC PT-B1010U, 2-BARCO VISION. I MESSED AROUND WITH THE PANASONIC SINCE IT HAD S-VIDEO ON IT, POWER UP NO PROBELMS, WHEN I HOOKED UP THE DVD PLAYER IT LOOKED LIKE THE FOCUS WAS OFF JUST A LITTLE BIT ALSO THE CONVERANGE WAS WAY OFF DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO ABOUT THIS SINCE I'M NEW TO THIS. I ALWAYS WANTED A CRT PROJECTOR FOR MY KIDS.. NONE OF THESE CAME WITH ANY REMOTES. THE 2 BARCO: 1 POWER UPS THE OTHER DOES NOT. FROM WHAT I READ ON THIS FORUM I' GOING TO NEED A CONVERTER SO I CAN SEE A IMAGE. WELL WHERE CAN I FIND THIS COMPONETS AND AND WHICH WIRES DO I NEED AND HOW DO I PLUG THIS UP SINCE I DON'T KNOW WHAT RGB OR BNC ARE. ARE THIS PROJECTORS PRETTY GOOD FOR A FIRST TIME NEWBIE. I'M GOING TO A HUGE FLEA MARKET THIS WEEK, DO YOU GUYS THINK I WOULD BE ABLE TO FIND THIS ACCEROCIES THERE. ALSO I NEED TO KNOW HOW TO SET THIS UP. PLEASE ,PLEASE HELP Confused

Welcome to the forum.

Step 1. TURN OFF THE CAPS LOCK KEY, we're not deaf...er....blind.

Step 2. Read the CRT primer here:

http://www.curtpalme.com/CRTPrimer.shtm

Pay particular attention to page 17 here:
http://www.curtpalme.com/CRTPrimer_17.shtm

That's the explanation for the connection types.

Read and re-read the primer and then come back and ask your questions.

You may find what you need at the flea-market but first you need to know what to look for.

Welcome to the site and to the hobby. Flea market???Maybe who knows what you'll find there. To be perfectly honest just set yourself down with the mindset that you need to spend a LONG time in front of a computer reading everything you can to get a basic understanding of this new hobby you found. The guys here and some of them at the A site are terrific resources, but until you do the reading even if you do get responses to your questions how can you apply them?

Once you get a feel for which direction you are going you'll be able to ask specific questions about what will suit you best for your application. A whole bunch of us started off just like you and now have a really nice home theater to enjoy. If you're persistent and do the research you will too....get ready to have some fun and pull some hair out along the way Shocked

Oh yeah then there's the dread disease upgraditis that we catch hanging around here. Stick around long enough (like a week or two) and you'll catch it as well.

Specifics are good too....like: Which Barco Vision? Curt has a ton of resources and parts as well as projectors for sale which will definitely help you along the way.

Good luck!

What '70 said and by the way if you can't find what you're looking for just ask here. Curt ( the owner and propriater of this site ) sell's cables, trascoders, and repairs as well as full projectors.

Then there's also the 'Buy and Sell' forum here too:

Once you understand what you need you can wait for it to pop up of ask on the 'Buy and Sell'.

thanks for the advice.. the 2 barco vision were built in 1985 and the panasonic in 1992.. went to the flea market nothing was there for crts. i saw some crts on this site from curt that i might just buy maybe the barco vision that he is selling for 100.00 for a start.tthis way i could learn more about them since he reconditions them.. also i might a get some more free crts. have you guys ever heard of ELECTROSONIC PROCUBE PROJECTORS. TRIED TO GOOGLE THEM BUT NOT TO MANY INFO ON THEM.if you guys know about them please let me know if this are better then the barco or panasonic or maybe they are easier to set up.. looking for a pcture of thease.. well i read the crt primer very good info. need to read more to understand more. can wait to play with my new toys.. thanks need more info....
