Wow, Greg - "spinal fusion surgery" sounds horrible. I hope you're recovering comfortably and will come out the other side better for it! I'd come over and give you a hand with the lawn myself if I lived close by.
Hmm.. My SM is titled 'SERVICE MANUAL - 1st Edition' in the lower right. It's 128 pages. The back says copyright 2006, "2006HR16-1" and "VPL-VW50 (SY) E". The first 20 or so pages are all exploded diagrams with disassembly info. 1-21 and the next few pages then goes into some software and memory info, including reading and righting data to go along with changing the optical assembly and Q board.
Sounds like maybe we should trade docs? Mac, do you have a preferred method of trading manual docs, since I assume you don't want them on the board.
I really want to get this machine running. This is when digital projector image quality started getting really respectable. It's not up to spec of even a few years ago, but it's very decent, and extremely quiet. Noise level is totally under-rated in my opinion. When I finally hung my digital, it was a huge relief to not have the beast with all its fans hanging about five feet behind me on the ceiling. I know I'm pretty noise-sensitive, but it was REALLY nice to have a quiet noise floor in my room. Crazy nice.
Hey, if my old man's camera club doesn't want it after I get it working, I'll make you a deal on it, Greg. I bought it mostly just to learn on and play with more than anything else; certainly not to try to make money on. That ain't gonna happen, anyway. I think I've got almost $300 in it at this point, and they only sell for about $500 working. It still ain't fixed yet, and I need a dang remote, too - so there won't be much, if any, money to be made anyway.
Cheers,
SC
