I've seen the Barco, two Ampros, one eHome, and you've told me of the NEC. Where are you hiding the other Ampro and eHome?

I've got
1: BarcoGraphics 801 (plus one stripped for parts.)
1: RetroData 801 (plus one stripped for parts.)
1: 9PG Xtra
1: 9PG Plus

The BG801 and PG Xtra are not working, the RD801 is my "little set upstairs" and the 9PG Plus is my production HT set.

I have a re-built AmPro 4000G in my brothers garage and the other E-Home is a big digital that I bought DOA and got it going but was never satisfied with it's operation. You just about sat on it in my garage without knowing it

Yeah, it is breaking out pretty much as I expected, except a couple more NECs then I would have guessed.
