I have a panasonic AE4000 low mileage original bulb about 1000 hrs. The projector is mint and has absolutely no issues. I take good care of my stuff no abuse. Has always been in my theater which you can see photos in my profile. I am the original owner and purchased from projector people. If you want to talk I'll provide my number. I am in the New York State area. I now have the AE8000 in my theater. PM me if interested.
I'm putting this back up for sale.
