Miss Cleo see three new tube in your future.


If you can see on the tube face, you will see it projected. Especially light scenes.


You did not indicate what type pj, but a good used red should be pretty easy to find for most makes.

Don: It's a Marquee 8500 Ultra, 15,000 hours, on it's 2nd set of tubes. (Obvious why they had to be replaced, huh?) --- Thanks for the info, I suspected as much.


Clarence: hehe... my employer, who can't seem to figure out how to use a screen saver :) --- and if you take that logo you posted, and invert it (blue bg with white text) that's the wallpaper that was on it 100% of the time.

I originally thought it was going to be a joke until I googled AKER KVAERNER (gesundheit)


I thought the burn was going to be 2 sentences overlapped, like "Ikea Welcomes You" then "Have a nice day"


My web filter alarms went off because their homepage has a "special feature about mating the topside of Kristin" ;)

Truly a case for digitals. The rest of you may not have said but you thought it.

CMRA, that's why this is mine now...


This projector was installed (new) in 2000. At about 7,000 hours they had very similar screenburn and had it retubed. It now has 15,000 hours on it. They decided that they'd rather buy a good digital than retube it again, and they were going to throw it away. I took care of it for them.

And good job. Now it has a good home away from such abusive handlers. May you enjoy for 10,000 plus hours (after you retube).
