Nec 9pg

there is a NEC 9PG PJ for sale ($100) but the unit "is NOT WORKING. It does power on, but the color tubes do not light up and a melting or burning smell comes from the unit upon powering up." would this be a good canidate to fix if the tubes are in good condition?

it would be a good candidate to rip the tubes out if they are in good condition (unless the tubes are shorted)
Yeah


If you can see the tubes and they are good, it's worth the $100.00.


Deron.
You might ask the seller to email you tube pics and a closer shot of the deflection board since HOT failures are common on these projectors and could explain the issues it has. Replacement deflection boards have sold on ebay for $30 so after shipping you could have a nice unit for under $300 if the tubes are good but don't forget the $70 remote.
