Hey everyone I just thought I would introduce myself. my name is Wes and I live in Orlando Florida. I have finally decided to take the plunge into the CRT realm and as of now I have an Epson Powerlite Home 10+ lcd projector but am hoping to pick up a 1272 either tommorow or saturday. I just wanted to ask if there was anything in particular I should look out for on a 12 series other than tube wear and the basics? Thanks

While the odd one breaks down, they are really reliable ES focusing sets, will/should last forever, and there's lots of parts out there for them. Talk the guy down in price, and you're well on your way!
