Well, MY dream projector, anyway- one went up for sale recently on Videogon. I shouldn't talk about it, I suppose, as any PR should make it more likely to sell, right?
What I'm talking about is a relatively rare bird, an NEC 10PG -the big daddy of the PG series, with 9" CRTs. I have a line on another one, which is in the process of being rebuilt with new tubes, but this one is another whole matter, as it's mint with less than 600 hours on the chassis. Imagine finding a slightly older, very high end Audi (if Sony G90's are the "Mercedes" of the CRT projection world), with about 5,000 miles on it, at what's a really reasonable price - say, a quarter of what you'd pay for a Chevy Malibou...
Utterly pristine tubes, as you can see- (just like my 9PG+when I got it, which had less than 700 hours) - for all purposes, brand new.
To put this in terms you digital projector guys can relate to, if my current NEC 9PG+ is about equivalent to a good 720P DLP, then this 10PG would be in Sony Qualia 004 turf. 8O
'Nuff said.
I could probably figure out a way to swing this by mid May, but by then it should be long gone. :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:
