Barco Cine 9 on ebay!

It'll probably stay there for that price too!

I don't know they are rare beasts. Well above what I would pay in any case, but I have seen silly prices for lesser projectors. However, while I don't think it is a scam the seller gives you precious little detail about the actual projector in question. 98% of the information given is straight from the Barco web site including all photos as far as I can tell. No mention of hours, condition, of tubes, etc.... I certainly would want to know all that more before spending a dime.

URL?

You want a url for ebay? There is only one Cine 9 on Ebay!


Brian

i did a search and didn't find it

It's 5755200187 (the item number, not the price).

The heading on ebay says Cinemax, which was the first name on the Cine 9 before it was fully developed and color-filtering added. So I would be skeptic to that ad. They uses Cinemax in the heading and in the ad they use a blue-print of the latest Cine 9-brochure.


Per Johnny

It must be Cine9 week

Too funny. Two in one week and they both appear to be legit (they both allow pickup for a start). Of course the scammers will likely pick these up and start flooding us with scam Cine9s. Barco searches on Ebay have been blessedly short of scams when compared to what the Sony folks have to put up with.

This guy that is selling this does the old thing of not showing who the bidders are and on day one of his auctions already has had 20 or so bids.


On a 1270 for example he will normally get around $3-4kAUD.

Also the guy in Australia advertises Barco data, and Graphics models as the Cine models.


This will probably be one of the 909's that sold at auction in the US recently.


Anyone keen to call him and ask about it?

Are cine 9 much beter then a G-90 ?

in germany someone tries to sell a sony vph1030 for 3000,- euro's quite the price to

This is the first time I have ever even seen a picture of one. It looks just like a Barco 808 that was painted black! Are they supposed to be black? I would have figured it would be a big ugly wide body like the 1209.


Does anyone know if it uses the same chassis? Obviously the electronics is way different but I am just wondering if they used the same metal 808 enclosure. Because it they did, if would follow that you could easily put 9" LC tubes in a BD or BG808.


I can only imagine how one of these performs, but based on Xanto's comments it sounds pretty dam good. I'm very glad Barco is still developing and selling crt.

Yeah I have noticed his practices such as using Cine for "regular" Barco Graphics and Data models. I can assure though that this is NOT one of the 909s from U.S. Government as I know the buyer for those and he his located in the States and hasn't yet got them or decided what to do with them.
