|
|
#1 - Spray paint
#2 - See #1
#3 - Spray paint the screen
#4 - Buy a Barco and scrap the Ampro
#5 - Call Chip over to haul it away but be prepared to pay Chip for gas and expenses
If you have any doubt or questions PM Z-Photo (Pete) I'm sure he can give you a few more useful Ampro hints...

I'll take any and all you guys have, including parts. You must have stuff left over from the ones you have.

I know this post is a well deserved ribbing I was trolling for. However, what most of you don't and will never know is that X600 series AmPros reproduce accurate color very well. I think NEC cornered the market in that respect and my stock Ampro came close to that. When I installed green and red colored c-elements I found the difference hardly measurable.
I'l bet a 3600 (A/C) with a set of NEC colored lenses would kick-ass.

I've got the HD144s... You make the plates and fire up the colorimeter!
