Hi,

I may be able to pick up a GE Imager 414 cheap locally. However the condition is unknown presumed broken as it doesn't power on when plugged in (this could be as simple as bad batteries in the remote). If I did get it I would most likely be parting it out as I already have a G70.

Can anyone give me a ballpark value for parts (assuming tubes are no good) (HD-6 color filtered lenses). The projector looks like a Nec PG series.

Thanks,

Erik

It's a GP-3000. 8" AC EMF. Not as sharp as the PG series though. Excellent convergence system. Point convergence is standard, and you can basically use as much of it as you like, it won't cause convergence instability.

Caveat:
Stay away from it unless it is in known good working condition and comes with the Service Remote (User remote could be modified to work too if that's all you can get)

The LVPS has an IC in it that can fail, and cannot be replaced or repaired.

If its working, RoBro can modify the PSU to permanently prevent that failure.

Tube condition is typically excellent on these PJs as the tubes aren't driven hard.

Are you sure the HD-6 lenses are really color filtered? IIRC the PJ came with HD-6C ML lenses (multilayer coated color corrected lenses, but not filtered).

If the remotes are included you can maybe sell them for a few $$, lenses too. Most valuable part: probably the ceiling mount, if it's part of the package.

Of course, if the PJ works and when set up properly it does throw a nice pic.
720p and 1080i60 for 16x9, or 1024x768 for 4x3

Ohh, I totally forgot:
tubes do not interchange with the PG and PG Plus series. They are 8510 tubes, and PG and PG Plus use 8508A tubes.
