Homemade projector setup for sale...

Great for the geeks. If you don't know a capacitor from a resistor, probably not your bag...

Complete projector setup for sale. It worked great, could use someone to design a bit of a better box for it...

Selling since we're rewiring the house and I'm remodeling the entire basement. I won't have time to think for the next few months, much less watch movies or play xbox on the projector.





ViewSonic NextVision N6 - Used for about 30 hours. Allows multiple inputs, tv tuning, hi-def, etc.

Stripped NEC 1545v 15" LCD monitor. I have a few extra parts for one of these around here somewhere I think, all works, no noticable scratches on the screen, and all the ground contacts have been soldered together. The power supply for it is new... I accidentally fried the other...oops.

80 mm triplet projector lens -

two 12x12" fresnels, they're somewhat scratched, so not worth much if anything. I used them, planned on replacing them, but never got around to it.


3m projector arm...It will take the image from laying flat and project it onto the wall. It's only a doublet, so I sprung for the triplet instead.

A big 'ol piece of blackout cloth I used for a screen 90" diagonal plus a few inches, it's how large the image was being projected from about 12' away.

400W MH ballast and 400 Watt MH bulb...amazingly, eye-burning bright, but bulky. The ballast probably weighs 30 lbs itself. It's a good ballast, no humming or flickering light like the cheaper ones sometimes do. I think I might have the big soup-ladle light reflector around here somewhere, I never used it.

A couple 12 volt computer fans for cooling and a 120v ac to 12v dc power converter I stripped the ends on to power the fans.

I also have a box I built out of 1/4" plywood, to Marty Carangelo's specs kinda. ( http://marty.nicsystems.com:8081/projector/ ) The only thing I'd change about it is make it a bit taller. Where the ribbon cable hooks into the panel from the controller card, it sometimes comes undone, easily done, I just never took the time.

I'd be glad to send pics, but please ask only if you're serious. I've a lot going on. Pic requests should go to jmebonner A T gmail D O T com or via pm.


I paid $500 for the lcd, 3m arm, fresnels, bulb and ballast.... I know that was more than you knowledgeble guys would pay, so I'll ship the whole lot for $550, which includes the N6 (Still has everything, including box) and the triplet.


If you need more info on this kind of thing, roll over to www.diyprojectorcompany.com for a really good resource.

What's the exact model on that bulb... ie, how long does it last and how much does it cost to replace when it does burn?

Also, bump

Model is M59 http://www.donsbulbs.com/cgi-bin/r/b.pl/m59.html

Price is probably around $40. This is one of the huge advantages it has over a small projector. Lots of people don't realize how much the small projector bulbs cost and the relatively short life, especially when compared to the 20,000 hours of the M59.
