I found a panasonic PT-106 on the weekend about 2 hours from Sydney, pulled off the lens on the green tube, and the tube looked absolutely prisitne.


Havta decide wether I want it or not - anyone know much about them or what one with minty tubes would be worth?

Not worth a huge amount, maybe $500 if your lucky, I have one myself sitting in my shed in storage, I do have the user manual in electronic format if you need it.

Um yeah, it would be great if you could shoot me the manual - it was an interesting looking beastie, but I wasn't sure what it would scan to etc.

If I end up not wanting it, anyone can PM me and I will pass on the current owner's details.

I had one of these a number of years back.


Quite noisy and all analog controls.


IMO not really worth the trouble these days. You'd be better off with a Sony 12xx or Barco 8XX.


I think from memory it only scanned to 31.5 (line doubled)

Yep, it'll line double and it's bizarrely LIQUID COUPLED.

I have a PT-105 that doesn’t fire up…


First I would love a manual dokworm if you can send me one…


I really want to get my Panasonic running, it too has minty tubes plus think I have two more sets of NEW tubes for this projector. It’s unfortunate that the chassis is not digital but analog, any install I do will be mounted secure so I don’t have to mess adjusting it later. (Not a good table mount model)


What I want to do with mine is mount it in the attic shining at an angel down toward the master bedroom. Then in the bedroom I mount a rear screen on an angle so you can view it perfectly from the bed. It’s kind of hard to describe but I have been crunching the numbers for sometime and it should work great. I want to use this PJ because of owning many New tubes for it, I don’t want to do all the work modifying the ceiling just for the tubes to give out, I want it to work forever, or close Line doubling is ok for me due to the smaller size screen it will be projecting to, I have several 12xx 8xx and 808 for larger screens, darn cant remember how many PJ’s I have now was it 10 or 12?


Anyways a manual would be great!!! Also if somebody doesn’t want their Panasonic PJ give me a shout I require the HV power supply and probably many other parts. Closest to Wisconsin wins

Wow, you have your own angel ?!?


Ninja has the manuals, not me, so if you PM ninja you should be able to get a copy.


Yeah I was surprised to see the LC system when I pulled the lens off, its a shame the tubeface is so small.


I was thinking of picking it up as another gaming rig, but I probably should give it a miss and save up for an iscan HD or something useful I guess.
