Hola a todos, primero que nada me presento, soy un joven amante de la tecnología CRT y técnico electrónico que vive en CHile en la Ciudad principal (Santiago).

Mi ingles es básico, por eso no escribo por acá, pero agradezco a todos, Especialmente a Curt por crear este foro y su pagina con toda la información detallada que tiene reunida.

Luego de años de busqueda de como importar un pesado proyector CRT a mi país (luego de haber tenido un viejo SONY 1041). El año pasado fui a una subasta y compre los dos únicos ELECTROHOME MARQUEE 8500LC que llegaron aca, y que estuvieron abandonados mas de 12 años en una bodega.

Y bueno llevo al rededor de 6 meses en un proceso muy lento de restauracion debido a la falta de algunas partes y algo de dinero.

Pero pense hace dos semana que este gran sueño de tener unos Proyectores CRT FULL HD habia muerto.

Un terrible Terremoto sacudio el pais, y aun continuan las replicas con fuertes temblores. Y uno de mis Marquee`s fue arrojado de 1.6 Metros de altura fuertemente.

Aca les dejo el resultado.

ENGLISH by GOOGLE:

Hello everyone, first of all I introduce myself, I am a young lover
CRT technology and electronics technician who lives in Chile in the City
main (Santiago).

My English is basic, so do not write here, but thank you all,
Curt Especially this forum and create your page with all the
detailed information that is gathered.

After years of searching for such a heavy import my CRT projector
country (after having had an old Sony 1041). Last year I went to a
auction and buy the only two who came 8500LC ELECTROHOME MARQUEE
here, and who were abandoned over 12 years in a cellar.

Well I take about 6 months in a very slow process
restoration due to lack of parts and some cash.

But I thought two weeks ago that this great dream of owning a projector
FULL HD CRT was dead.

A terrible earthquake shook the country, and even replicas continue with
Strong tremors. And one of my Marquee `s was thrown from 1.6 meters
up strongly.

Here I give you the result.

Bueno, luego de esto crei que habia muerto pero al parecer solo le paso esto.
Well, after that I thought I had died but apparently only this step will:

Kill my Microcomponent for test, and board of a CD player for a client.
En su paso acesino mi Microcomponente de prueba, y una placa de una Cd player de un cliente.

Luego de esto, el Marquee sigue en funcionamiento Laughing

Sorry to see that happen to your beloved Marquee. How are the tubes? DID they have any damage? Look at the necks near the Video neck Card to see if the stand offs inside broke or are cracked. id the tubes are good I think the rest will be ok. You might need a new Chassis. I have one from an Marquee 8000 i could send to you, all you have to do is pay for shipping.

Wow, just wow. Sorry for all of your personal losses there, as well as all the other people affected in Chile.

Getting back to the projector for a minute, I am assuming that the bottom of the chassis was already off the set, or did it tear apart in the earthquake?

Looking at the pieces though, I am 100% confident that you can put that Marquee together and have it working. From the pix you post, the tubes look OK, and I've got every other part in stock that you might need. Bolt it together when you have time, and let us know what happens.
