hey guys
Hello
Ok guys I have here a great PJ, it's the Barco Data 808s model
here are the specs at this link:
http://www.crtcinema.com/barcospecs.html
This is a fabulous PJ that gives a gorgeous image, if you are using a 7" unit this would be a upgrade that you wouldn't begin to believe, wait until you see HDTV on this unit
This is a rarer "s" model that features even more adjustments and stuff to tweak than the standard non "S" models
This unit will display 1080i/720p and if you can set it up to it's best ability you might be able to pull out 960p
This unit is giving around 950 lines of vertical resolution on a 1080i test pattern, only a 9" unit would do better with 1080i
Scan lines are plainly visible on 720p at my current setup
The MEC 180dvb22 tubes are rated as follows:
the red is a 9
the blue is a 8.5
the green is a 7
The image is breathtaking
The Chassis has around 4500 hours, which is pretty low
This PJ was purchased from Curt Palme, so you know that it is in perfect working order and has had all the common solder joints repaired that like to fail on these units
The Projector is in perfect working order
The Hd-8 revb lenses are in great shape
Now to the best part, this unit has had the following mods done:
The CRT coolant has been replaced with original Sony Red and Green colored glycol, not ink colored glycol, original sony stuff
Color correction is the biggest upgrade that everyone is trying to pull off with various 808 projectors, this has already been done for you and you would not believe the difference this makes over a stock 808 projector
This gives the most unbelievable colors that you could imagine, words cannot describe it
The sony original red and green glycol is very hard to come by, so this is a great mod indeed
second mod is also a big one in that this unit has had the original Data 808s Non-Scheimpflug lens mounts changed out to the graphics fully scheimpflug adjustable lens mounts
This is a absolute must because the Data 808s uses washer shims behind the lenses that will never give perfect corner to corner focus like these lens mounts will, the scheimpflug is now fully adjustable with a simple nut driver
next mod is not really a mod but I have gave this unit a full greyscale calibration, it is spot on, if you are not fimiliar with this it is very important to image quality, you get perfect blacks and perfect whites with no colors mixed in
lastly the pj Has had it's outside case completly painted in black, this makes this unit really really sweet looking and it will vanish into your theater on a black ceiling, this is also a great great upgrade over the standard brite white case
The case is in 95% perfedt shape and is only missing the door over the remote control panel(this is common among 808 units)
Curt sells this unit stock without these mods for around 2500$ plus shipping, my price is 500$ less at 2000$
I also have a source for a brand new green tube for this unit for under 500$, I can install this for you if you wish
Pictures will be coming soon
you may view my ebay feedback at:

Buyer may setup his own shipping arrangements or I will glady ship this unit to you by fedex freight
Fedex freight is the best freight company in the world, they features 3 day delivery and treat items very well, I have sold a Big Screen tv to a fella across the country and it reached him in 3 days and in perfect shape
fedex freight shipping cost will be 250.00 even
please email me if you have any questions gmurrell1 "at" bigsandybb.com
Thanks for viewing, I look forward to doing business with you
