No to the NEC's. I seem to have become hung up on the marquees because of their military specs and the general fondness that is prevalent here on the forum. Although I could be swayed with more info.

I'm no expert either but I can say that the 1209s pj's are pretty impressive. Try to find one of the Runco models and get colored elements too. Even if you got one and it wasn't very good you could probably part it out and make money on it.

The scan rate limitation isn't really a big deal for HT use. Nice snag by the way. Wink

I hope I'm not coming off as an ass here,I am having fun and 2 for 1 with my labor would make me feel like i did well too.But close to 0 still ain't 0. No hostility intended. I'm sure that sounds harsher then how I mean it.

First off that 9500 is an Ultra, the boards alone can fetch 1k-1.5k then the GT1017 lens another 300-500, get 300 for both power supplies and id pay 300 for the LC housings and spent tubes. So it could be worth it to someone who has cheap tubes to put in it, If it was me I'd say 2000 as an offer, but i have lots of tubes! Very Happy

It cost me about $350 from Reno to London but thats with Bax, try Uship guys but be careful when you use it.

It should be way cheaper internally, I have no idea, anyone got some figures?

I am having the twins shipped by Yellow. 479 to the yellow dock here in Buffalo then I go get um! another 79 if shipped to my door, I'd rather go pick them up as its too hard to make sure I am home when they come. But Forward Air is the cheapest but they don't do pick ups. I had a marquee shipped from texas to buffalo for 190 dock to dock.

Yeah big silver bird will work for me but you can not bring anything over 100 lbs on not even as checked baggage. In fact you can't even freight forward and be sure its on the plane with you. I called the U.S. AIR customer service and their cargo department as I was going to fly up to see Curt and retrieve a projector from him.

Man do you ever feel like people are f--ing with you? I ask someone to e-maill pics of the tubes, which they do but with the projector on and in a 13 MB file.

Cool, thanks my offer has been retracted.

there's a chance the tubes were replaced at one time but it's not a good $3000. gamble.
