Thank you for all the warm welcomes!
When I used to ask newbie questions on AVS I never got this kind of welcome, in fact sometimes I was lucky to get answers at all, but I used to do some electrical side work for the local hi-end av shop so I have some good friends to lean on from time to time with questions.
Yes I sure do like buying older hi-end stuff for peanuts. So far eBay and Craigslist have been good to me.
I started out with a very dim Seleco Sim2 DLP I picked up for about $500...but when I saw this VIDIKRON VISION TWO for $2000 obo and figured it it wouldn't hurt to low-ball the guy and ended up with a $20,000+ CRT for $500!!!
(Hope you all still like me  )
One more picture and I have to head back home, we're rough grading today. 
Oh and draganm I'll be in touch shortly. Chad

the nice thing about HT is even with 6 feet of snow outside you can still work on your theatre in total comfort. It's actually kinda nice really, having something to do instead of going stir-crazy.

Naw! I got two working 8500's and a minty tube (also working) 9000 all for $300 and nobody ever gave me a you suck! Besides they are reserved for working, pictured, top of the line setups 
Now that HT space on the other hand - that looks gorgeous, and huge!!
