Oh boy oh boy.
Lookie what I've got here.

An oldie but definitely a goodie.

Old school inputs:

And.... it's very massive.

But I dug even deeper:

Congrats, and thanks for the pictures!

BTW, that's probably the nicest inside of a pizza box that I've ever seen. I'm happy to see that you have windows. I was worried about you, man.

I don't think that's a pizza box my friend. I think its his new and improved transmogrifier v2.0.

HAHA LOL.

I do have blackout curtains... just not here yet.



Video kinda sucks... I really need to make my own webpage.

You should try taking still shots of the pizza box in action.

I do; I just don't have my camera here at work with me.

I have a static image for you guys...

Yeah.. it's no HD, but it's still big and fun!

Looks like you have the focus and convergence fairly well dialed in there - just a bit off on the upper and lower right quadrants. IIRC those don't have the electronic convergence right? Tubes look fairly bright too - any idea how many hours it has on it? That PJ brings back some memories - it's the first projector I calibrated in an OTB parlor in New Orleans back somewhere around '89 or '90-ish - laid on my back on a scaffold for a few hours dialing it in.

I've got a 1272Q in my closet that I haven't messed with since two moves ago... (and those big beasts are not much fun to move). You're making me want to get it out and fiddle with it again... they're fun to play with - thanks for the pics and ENJOY.

I know the convergence and focus is a bit off; my projection screen was rather close to the projector, and the closer it gets, it's near impossible to get it lined up. If I had a larger screen, and back about 10 more feet or so, it WOULD be perfect.

Convergence contols are on this panel, under the white plastic on the right side:

Not sure of the hours... the blue tube is a bit burned in in the middle though. Everything else is fine though.
