Looks to good to be true, since the seller has no feedback.
Anyone had any experiance with this guy from anywhere else?

Wow...there can't be that many businesses or people, though, that have that sheer number of like-new looking tubes. Anybody recognize the pics?

Hmm... seller is in Orlando. VDC is 50 miles away in Cape Canaveral. Coincidence?
I don't know much 9" stuff, but those are damn good prices, aren't they?

I noticed that too...could be a careless seller, or could be a fraud. Probably the latter, but I'm just wondering where the hell they got a picture of that many new-looking tubes. It's pretty easy to steal pics of G90's and the like nowadays, but who has that many tubes besides VDC??

Note he also charges $50 per tube shipping (!!). And his warranty explicitly excludes phosphor burns, even on the new tubes. So he could ship you totally roasted trash and you'd have no recourse, at least on the used ones.

I asked the seller a couple questions regarding the tubes, and he has not responded so far. To have that many LUGS, seems strange, to have zero feedback and sell high priced items, since he has been registered over a year, with no transactions is also strange.
If he was a member of the CRT community would be different, but to pop up out of nowhere with these....

Just received a response.
"the wear patterns are about the same on all units but the phosphor wear very per unit to how hard they were driven before they were sent to our sister company (Not VDC).
The units are off of a variety of high end projectors not available on the general consumer market. All units will be tested in our projectors before they are sent and we can send you a batch of photos in order for you to pick out which used unit you would like. We also receive P19LCP and some Sony 09MEX from our sister company from time to time. Again we are not affiliated with VDC in anyway. I hope this information helps. If you would like me to get you some photos of our current stock of used CRT's I will do this by Monday."

His had weird wear patterns. If the seller sends the pictures he promised, it'll be easy enough to tell if they're CJ's -- or something similar. But that doesn't explain where this guy got NEW LUGs.

If this is legit, that's a great resource! I spent truckloads on my 6 brand new LUGs

Big dog, I'm scaling down the "meet thing" big time. I don't need the hastle. Plus after just seeing Shoot em up on Blue Ray, I know your JAW IS GOING TO BE ON THE FLOOR. 
Plus, we need to go to Arli's and check out his G90 on the Silverstar.
Really looking foward to seeing you again, OH, I have a question about professional services when you get a moment.......

That would be a 9 inch CRT tube. The P19LUG has a high resolution gun with a small beam spot size that can be adapted to many 9 inch projectors.
