    What to do with obsolete projector?

    I have a Kloss Novabeam & matching 78-inch parabolic screen. It works about as well as you would expect from a 22-year-old unit that spent the first 10 years of its life being hauled around in trucks to and from schools and the media rental place where I bought it.

    That is, it works, but occasionally will jump out of registration and is very difficult to focus uniformly across the screen. Also, the screen has numerous scars from its rough early use.

    The Novabeam currently sits in the back of a basement room, having been supplanted this year by a BenQ DLP projector.

    I really don't want to trash the Novabeam, but it takes up one heck of a lot of room. Any suggestions on what to do with it? Should I part it out -- the CRTs might be worth something, but how would I find someone who needed them? I'm not concerned about money.

    Any suggestions would be very welcome.

    I'd post it for sale on E-Bay. Even though it's not a stellar projection TV anymore, the Kloss projectors were built VERY well, and you might well find someone interested in the unit for parts (possibly to fix up their own Kloss unit).
    Also the aluminized parabolic screens have extremely high gain, and are sought after by people using brighter digital projectors in high light rooms.
