Very cool idea Don! What exactly did you spray it with? |
WHO THE HELL IS DON !!!!!!!!!! Oh, did I say that out loud.
I'll have to check. I think I still have a can of it somewhere.

It might of been. That was quite a few years ago. I think it was in `96 or `97. If I have a can left I think I know where it is. I'll have to check tomorrow.

Once upon a time I did some crazy overclocking which entailed taking my CPU well below freezing. Unfortunately the "cold" would radiate out from the CPU and condensation and eventually frost would form on the rest of the motherboard and even videocard (I overbuilt my cooler a little bit) so after frying one motherboard I started using spray on sealers and never lost another. The condensation still formed but nothing shorted. Unfortunately I don't remember what I used either but I'd highly recommend. Just be careful about coating things that get hot.

I am replacing the cine 9 (for the meantime)with the barco retro 808 in the same room,and i have a half full Gunk automotive ignition sealer,it sparys on an acrylic coating.the bad news for me is, the importer here has stop distributing it.Since it is half full i dont know if it is enough to coat all the boards plus splitters and crt sections.I am sure it can withstand the heat inside the PJ,Gunk is an American brand ,anyone know where i can score one?

I'm not so sure I would trust that in your projector. Ignition spray is not designed for critical components. The stuff I used was specifically made for electronic circuit boards. I know MCM Electronics has the stuff you need but I don't know if they ship to your country. I was just looking at it today.

I didn't know you were an installer Ron. Why don't you have your contact info on the referral list?

Mostly because I consider myself retired but enjoy playing with stuff in my shop. I'm not interested in doing this full time. I dont mind doing some for other occasionally but mostly when I feel like it. I spend most of my time doing what I feel like, when I feel like it. Plus when i moved down here I got rid of most of my equipment and now just have basics. I just cant seem to get away from this stuff. I enjoy it to much.

Ah, a man of leisure, a tinkerer. Hence the Macgver title I suppose. You know I only ask because I want to pick your brain right? I have nobody around here man, nobody. I tell people I have a CRT projector and they look at me like a deer in headlights.

Well I'm trying to plan a camping trip to Lake Norman, up by you for maybe next week. I was thinking I could stop by on my way back and see what you have. I'm sure I can plan my return for later in the day when your home.

Yeah cool, just let me know. I'm normally close by the house on the weekends even if I'm not home I can get back pretty quickly. I remember trying to camp at Lake Norman years ago. Me and some friends took a little metal boat out to one of the islands on the lake and after three trips back and forth we finally had all of us and our gear on site. An hour later we were set up and it was dark so we started a campfire. Big mistake. The police come cruising up all stealthy and quiet in their pontoon boat and spotlight us. Long story short, we had to put the fire out, break camp and leave the lake...in the rain during a thunderstorm. It was not a fun time.

It seems that the Cinemax name is not well-known as even Curt did not know it. Here's how the cover of the built-in remote looks like on the Cinemax (the letters are all massive brass!):

powered it up again,the eht leds are not lit anymore,but with scan fail on diagnostic board and h def holddown red leds on def board.Checked main fuse on eht board(OK),
Help guys! what do you think has happened.Did pj normalized or 17 volts went out of whacked. I say this because the pj was not used for along time and after a month of reuse,it must have "re-broken in" again or something is really broken.
Did not do anything lately with the pj,probably only adjusted contrast and brightness level trying to bring out an image before.
Thanks

After long periods of non-use, HV parts seem to fail more often compared to continuous use.

I did come across a Cinemax brochure, or product page once online, not sure if I saved it, was from Russia or Greece or place like that. I was amazed that Curt had to ask, however these didn't make it across the pond, I guess.
