I hope i'm wrong but , AFAIK, they never made a 9500Lc retro All the retro's I've ever seen were 8500's. So this is either a foobar on the guv liq or, if your lucky, someone installed a couple of 9500's in a retro case as a "mod".
Last time I checked, freight on one of those monster boxes was up around $500. too

Word to the wise if it's not too late. PAY BY VISA!
THe gov't will NOT give you a refund if these do turn out to be 8500s, so you need to do a chargeback on your credit card. You probably know the story about the 'new' P19 tubes from about a year or more ago that all turned out to be used with burns.
Terry and I went 1/2ers on them, he went to go pick them up after he'd paid the $3K or whatever it was, and he refused to take them. They refused to credit the card back, so other actions were taken. Beware!

It's absolutely on a credit card with buyer protection.
My logic in taking the risk is pretty simple:
1) The phosphor usage is going to be damn-near full raster
2) The Brightness and Contrast almost certainly will not have been overdriven
3) The chassis and skins will almost certainly be pristine if its' been in a retro carcass its' whole life.
4) If it is indeed a 9501LC then it should be young enough to not suffer the P14 voltage problem.
If it is indeed a 9501LC and in good working order, then I'm done. No more upgraditis for me! (Hmmm... gotta do something about my scaler  )
Some internal pics. Can't make out the model number, but you can see "LC" if you squint really hard:

From http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m0EIN/is_1996_June_20/ai_18413134
| Quote: |
While other self-contained systems will accommodate only one or two different projectors, the Retro IV is configurable with virtually all Electrohome projector models. This range of projectors includes the ECP 3500 and 4500 series as well as the Marquee 8110, 8500, and 9500LC projectors.
|
This beast also has the Matrix screen option:
| Quote: |
The Retro IV's standard high-resolution wide angle screen affords 180 degree viewing. The Retro IV can also be fitted with an optional black matrix screen for creating high contrast images in situations with extremely bright light conditions.

I'm so excited I'm nearly giddy!
Trying to find dimensions and weights on this carcass so I can decide if I'm going to rent a van and bring the whole damn thing home.

Approx 32"x58"x80"
One thing to consider is they are most likely 10L lenses that are for smaller screens.
I would consider keeping at least the "first surface" mirror , It can be used in a couple different configuration and sized RP applications.
.
Also the screen would make someone a decent sized RP screen .
Those SN numbers are pretty recent If I remember correctly , maybe someone who has more experience can chime in with a guess as to their age
Bruce .
PS: let me be the first one to say congrats

I've seen that case on an ECP. Looked great. My retro BG808s looks great, I can only imagine what a 9" set will look like. Scary!
