I've done
approximately 20 CRT installs from the ground up. My experience extends
to Electrohome ECP and Marquee models, Barco 800 and 808 models, and NEC
XG and XGLC models. Replaced tubes in NEC XGLCs and done troubleshooting
of all the above listed models. I've yet to find a problem that I could
not solve myself or with some phone support from Curt. I"ll help anyone
in my area as a favor to Curt and to help repay him for the excellent
support he has lent me over the years. My preference is the mech and
electronic setup of the units but I can also offer advice on hushboxes,
ceiling mount methods and screen selection. Unfortunately carpentry is
not my strong point so I prefer not to drill holes in peoples houses for
ceiling mounts etc. I will however offer advice on placement etc.
Unfortunately I'm not ISF certified and don't own a color analyzer but
have plenty of "eyeball experience" using test patterns and Avia setup
disks. If you need help or have a problem just e-mail me. |

I don't have a crt projector, but I do run
a nec lt150 dlp projector for those that may want to do a comparison
between technologies other than CRT. Compared to my friend's NEC XG,
CRT, while more difficult to configure, adjust, etc, provides a nicer
image than mine. For people who want to see the difference, this might
be nice to see. I've also got a small DIY ht (11'x14') that some people
might like to compare as well. |

I’m a Technical Director in a Montreal
based A/V company for quite a few years now, doing CRT projection since
the 80’s, I’ve seen and tuned pretty much all kinds and brands of CRTs
and LCDs/DLPs up the big Christie 25k. I’ve worked with the GE Talaria,
Barco, Sony, Panasonic, Zenith, Electrohome, NEC and others. I always
have a few CRTs set-up (usually 5 to 10) of different brands/categories
at my place, and those who would like to see CRTs in actions before
buying are always welcome. I can certainly help setting up PJs, install
parts, tubes or boards fixed or sold by Curt, or help troubleshooting
your system. Please contact Curt’s team directly for all your parts and
mods needs, as he is THE trusted supplier for CRT parts and service.
Feel free to contact me for any help. |
