I've got an old Barco 800 projector that seems to be in pretty good working order except for the fact that the tubes are shot to hell. I have to turn the brightness up so far to compensate that retrace lines are highly evident even on relatively bright scenes and the black levels are anything but. The overall picture is also relatives fuzzy, is that something that could be fixed by new tubes?
Anyway what I am wondering is whether anyone knows where I might possibly be able to source new (or good condition pre-loved) tubes for such a beast. I live in Perth, Western Australia so this is a limiting consideration unfortunately.
If anyone has any ideas that would be great because otherwise I'm going to have to "downgrade" to an LCD pj as there is no way I can afford a new CRT and there is no where around here I am likely to be find a reasonably priced used one either.
Thanks.
Alex.
