Probably would of been better to just quote that part then... Very Happy


Oh, also note. Any part that is substituted from the original print and going to production would have to be approved by an engineer..... Very Happy

However even if he didn't agree with the quality of the part but couldn't support not using it then the bean counter would probably win... Thumbs Down

Mr. Green Mr. Green Mr. Green

Joking aside, I have never understood why the Ampro 4600 was considered worse than the G70s and XGLCs. Also, shouldn't the 3600 win points for being accepted by the US Navy? Shocked

I'll admit that the 9 inch AmPro's are ugly but just like a ugly girl who can suck a golfball through 50 feet of garden hose, in the dark, who cares. Laughing
The 3600 is a damn nice projector. It's case design is not typical AmPro. It has curves and I think quite stylish. I have one hanging in the garage and it projects one heck of a sharp image.
