Oh man I hope this is a new contest! I'm always like the 100th person to post not the first. 
Curt's probably busy trying to find a way to delete this thread before word spreads that this is a new contest. HA!

Isn't there a difference between your bragging and someone who is NOT a professional resellers' bragging about his find ?
I mean no offense, but the ONLY reason you buy projectors is to resell them for a profit(or strip the parts to profit from them...), you don't enjoy them at all, you're just a speculator, so while its great for your bottom line, it doesn't mean anything like what it means when someone gets a great find they're going to actually USE, right ??
Kinda like the difference between a dog fancier who breeds for the love of the animal, and a puppy mill, isn't it ?
If I'm way off base, let me know and I'll delete this post lickity split...

Curt you can brag, cause one day I'll be able to get one of these jewels from you. Right now all I can afford is rocks!!

So how much Curt?

Zactly right.. Not sure yet. I have 4 Cine 9/909 here right now, with dibs on 2 more. Two cases are trashed, two are almost mint. I need a test chassis, but not one with 417 hours. One set has text wear. Two don't work and are missing boards.
I want to test run this set for 24 hours at least, check all functions, and test all other boards I have. With this set having three power supplies that all interact, the learning curve is tough, but I'm slogging through it.
Assuming that I sell this 417 hour set with mint everything, it should get $9-10K or so, considering it was a $60K set not 3 years ago.
And Elaine, we're all at various levels of sets, whether we paid retail or got them for free. Heck, even an old Sony KP5220 is a score for someone that has never had a CRT before. You're right, I'm in it for the money, but when buying stuff as is, it's nice to run across a super low hour set, which offsets the three others that don't work, and are missing parts. I'm also pretty damn passionate about my profession/hobby, so I get to be as much of a kid in a candy store as anyone else.

Of course it is, it's a contest as to who has available cash.
I actually have 4 tentative buyers, but of course who knows until the money is in the bank.
Mike, one will become my test chassis, so all I really need is one lid, so it might be do-able. Let me get them running first, expect another email soon.

Yup. Don't count those chickens yet...
Reminds me of someone who spent a LOOONG time developing Barco mods after approximately 50 people here showed great interest in purchasing them once they were available (and they were given a ballpark price too). But once available, basically nobody opened their wallets. Sheesh.

Barco mods, hmm, reminds me of some-one who did shell out 700 Euro's to end up with boards that didn't work/without demonstrating improvements. They were rightly shelved after that.

"While we are all bragging..."
I woke up this morning with a woody and noticed that it was considerably smaller then it used to be. Depressed, I found my self wondering Great, now what am I going to do with only ten inches? I'll be the laughing stock of the gym shower.
I'll have to hang my little head in shame
