HFQ900's are not all metal as Gary described. |
Gino,
Which lenses do we have then? Mine are all black anodized aluminum housings with the round plastic knobs on the focus screws. No labels at all. The closest distance they could focus at was about 2 meters. I have not tried to determine the farthest distance yet.

No idea. But the sets of HFQ900's I have seen including my pair have a plastic barrel for edge focus and the rest of the lens assembly metal.

yes Gino both barrels are metal, I am thinking GT17 as well, not too shabby
upon receipt of the PJ yesterday I noticed it had alot of black filth inside, after working with it yesterday alot last night I got pretty sick with pouring nose, asthma attack etc., after taking it apart today completely I know what it is, MOLD!! the inside is covered, especially the HV areas and leads, the tubes and mechanics, I didn't need a excuse to gut the thing anyway but what the heck  time for a total clean and spruce up including cleaning all the contacts etc.
look at that rag after a couple of rubs inside the case, it gets like that every minute or so of cleaning

would you believe the screws are underneath the bottom motherboard? 
I am probably still going to cut it off, I just don't see anyway to get to it unless I tear the entire thing apart literally

Looks like your project should be documented as "Overhauling a CRT"!

|

Hi,
The lenses are barco HD120 - they are pretty nice, with better corner focus than the GT17's,
in my experience. I would guess thay are optimised for 7-8' flat screens, based on some testing.
You should have no problem getting good results, unless your screen is very small.
All HFQ900's have the GRP outer barrels, and are not standard for this model, or the Cine9/DTV1200.
If you plan to remove the bottom case section, look inside near the structural rails, and locate
the six 10mm hex head bolts, and there are a couple more little screws under the remote tray,
and possibly may need to remove the cover around the AC input connector. And heck, maybe the
little hinged remote assembly needs to come off - two more screws inside and a connector.
The whole chassis will lift out of the case - you do not need to remove the screws under the m'board,
the ones that you can't access anyhow. I did this recently with my 1101 chassis - easy, no problems.

yes, I removed that nasty stuff, cleaned all the housings and will be replacing it with fresh on that blue before shipping, green none because I am keeping the filtered c-element and can't refill
I am nuts for selling the blue tube, I'm way too picky, but I am going to perfect this beast before putting it up and be done with it for a few years

won't work jkruger, at least on mine it wouldn't, you would have to tear the entire chassis apart to get to the small philips screws that you mentioned before, there are quite a few as well

finally got everything back together and ready to go, installed the beast last night
I thought for a bit how to do a perfect mount that I wouldn't have to spend $$ on, this is the best mount I have ever done, solid as a rock, more so than factory ceiling mounts 
first are 2 350lb eyelets with 3/4" nuts top and bottom, the key is the threaded rod at the back, connected to the mount and then to the shelf the PJ is mounted to, adjusted for perfect level and side to side level, then locked into place with threadloc
you will have to forgive the mess back inside this hidden area behind the pj, including the spray foam where I removed the hushbox sealed enclosure from around the XG 1352
ready to go with Box1021, HDFury2 and high-end 16" breakout cable
here are the pics:
