Looking in through the lenses of the crts when on reveals gunk on the inside


i cant tell exactly if thats on the crt itself or somewhere in the lenses


it needs cleaning maybe?

Maybe.... What projector is it? Some tubes develop this "fungus" inside, but it is possible to clean it.

wiat what did you call it? fugus?

Some projectors that use sony made tubes can grow a fungus inside the cooling fluid. Do a search on fungus and you will find some articles. You may want to remove the lenses and see if it's just a lot of dust, first.

The fungus issue requires a bit of diligence to remove. Several good posts regarding this can be found here.

Yep, that's fungus...pretty bad too. Do a search for username KBK and lens cleaning and there is a VERY detailed explanation of how to take the front glass off and clean inside.
