I had my 1209/2 moded by Greg with V5 about a year ago and was very happy with the results. The picture was better but in my case the main thing I noticed was how much better the projector stayed in convergence. Greg recently upgraded my port 3, switcher, rgb output, and three neckcards to V7 for free. There is a noticable change in my picture once again. Some bleeding and convergence issues I had are now 99 % resolved. I wish I could be more specific but I can't. A few other CRT guys in the Dallas area have seen the picture and thought it was good.

Just to let people know, I really need your boards in your projector to do the mods.


I just got some samples in and in the works to start changing over to new low impedance caps for the neck cars and some other nice upgrades to make the over all mod package nicer.


We can ship pre-mod but we are running fast out of boards and not getting boards back from people as they use them for spares, so people who have my boards please ship back

Turn around time now is 2-3 weeks so its not too bad to get a better picture.


V7 is shipping and is much better than V1


So people who have V1 are qualified for a small upgrade fee.
