My nec ht1000 needs a new ballast for its bulb, and I found a nec lt260 that takes the same bulb as mine, and has the same shape outer casing, so would this ballast work in mine??

the auction for the projector ends in 4 hours so, can anyone help me?

 

[gadgeteer123]

2 hours

Did you try PMing Sheridan1952? He might know. I have no idea. In theory you would think it'd work fine since both units take the same lamp, but I don't want to give you any misinformation.

 

[gadgeteer123]

ya, it is an as-is item so its super cheap, but i'd prefer to make sure.

 

[Sheridan1952]

The Power Supplies in both models have the same part numbers.


So...GO FOR IT and good luck!!


PS. You're lucky my service call was canceled and I got back in time to answer your query.

 

[gadgeteer123]

sweet, thanks, i'm gonna buy

 

[gadgeteer123]

wait though i need a ballast i already bought a new power supply.

 

[Sheridan1952]

Not a problem. The Power Supplies and the Lamp Ballast Power Supplies are the same in both models. That's what I meant. I should have been more specific, sorry.


There are internal differences between the two projectors, the HT1000 is the Home Theater version of the LT260. The most obvious one being the Color Wheel. The firmware is also different.

well thanks, i hope the ballast is good on this projector, its an as-is item because they didn't have any cords to test it. Its a surplus ebay seller, its only 30 bucks though, so not to much money.

 

[gadgeteer123]

one more question just in-case i dont win this, is there any other models that have the same ballast?? like lt240, and such??

 

[Sheridan1952]

I looked at the listing. You're right, it's as-is and they give no information as to the condition, so it is a gamble. Still, for the price, I'd take a chance and go for it. Let us know how it goes for you. I know you've been trying to get your projector back up, I hope this does it for you.

Probably, I just don't know off the top of my head. I'll have to go through the manuals and let you know.


EDIT...Just a quick check shows the LT220/240/260 all have the same ballast.

ok, thank you, I hope I can get one that works. I miss having my nice projector.

 

[Sheridan1952]

Did you get it?

 

[gadgeteer123]

um, well it had half an hour left, and i went to do something and i missed the end of it

do you know where i can get a ballast in anyway for under $150???

 

[Sheridan1952]

Sorry, no. Buys like that auction are probably your best bet. Keep looking. If I hear of anything, I'll let you know.
