ok guys, me again.

I'm hoping that I can see a crt pj posted in ebay in my area, locally. What are the things that I should verify on the pj before buying it?


Thanks!

I believe there is a Marquee being sold in your area....not a bad way to start.


Verify TUBE CONDITION....that's the #1 concern.

Agreed...


Have a demo to verify everything works as should - there's plenty topics here of things which can go/be wrong

And then the tubes. Here's an overview of Curt Palme's wear table .


Ideally you should try and get a CRT with tubes in class 8 or above, I think. Or if there's worse wear, check what new tubes cost and if you can lay hands on a set (at least those you need) and pay a price accordingly.

How did you find out that there is one being sold? Can you please send me the link?

That's a cool link. I know Curt but was not aware of that tube condition link.

Try craigslist in Illinois...also, I'm sure someone mentioned in my thread about buying a crt that they had a Marquee in Chicago.

Another option would be to buy from some one who can pre set up the pj for your throw and screen size and all you need to do is point and shoot with only a slight tweak of focus and convergence. You will pay a little more but you are going to enjoy your pj much much faster wothout hassle. Contact Curt or some one like him see what they say can do for you.
