I'm based in the SF Bay Area, but will also
travel anywhere. So far this has included New Jersey, Arizona, Texas,
Oklahoma, Oregon, Washington, and both No. and So. CA, though I have had
inquiries from as far away as Iceland, Puerto Rico and the Philipines. I
have attended the Ampro, Runco, Sencore, Toshiba and Tektronix schools,
plus studied electronics theory and repair at Lane Community College in
Springfield, Oregon. Plus the ISF Course – plus both of the special ISF
courses offered after the actual training days of the ISF training -
from Jim Burns: on aiming OTA HD antennas in difficult situations – and
Jim Doolittle: on the finer points of doing ceiling projectors. In the
last 20 years I have done Sony, Philips, Marantz, RCA, Hitachi,
Panasonic, Zenith and NEC RPTVs, plus Sony, Mitsubishi, Electrohome,
Runco, Ampro, Barco, NEC, Dwin, Seleco, Vidikron, Kloss and Advent front
projectors. My calibrations are not just the typical ISF calibration of
simply greyscale and user centers; they are complete stem to stern
calibrations, covering both optical and electrostatic focussing
(including precision blue defocussing and how it relates to the white
balance section of greyscale), professional optics cleaning, geometry
(precision picture shaping and placement), convergence, greyscale,
recalibration of user centers, and ardent effectiveness in dealing with
red push issues - universally prevalent in Mitsubishis, but also present
in many other brands. Unfortunately, this has to be tempered by the
ability of any set to actually allow for linear color decoding response,
and/or be re-aligned for achieving it. When necessary, they also involve
scheimpflug and astigmatism re-alignments - fine-point ops that are not
commonly known about. |

Long-time hobbyist, with a strong
background in the Electrohome Marquee chassis. I've learned the Marquee
inside and out from experience and trial and error. I've torn down
several to a bare chassis and totally rebuilt them as a learning
experience and to assure reliability. I offer board exchange services
for most boards most of the time, at very fair prices. I do limited
component level repair and rework and mods per the VDC service
bulletins, and my workmanship is guaranteed first rate and highly
reliable. I do essential modifications to Marquee chassis and can
arrange to have other mods done for you. I've upgraded 8000/8500s to
9501LCs and know what it takes to do it right the first time. I can
assist a Marquee owner or potential owner with almost any phase of
acquisition, installation, and setup in a home theater or smaller
commercial installation. I do limited calibration as well, the
limitation being the performance of my colorimeter. |

Qualifications:

NEC, Dwin, Sony, Electrohome, Barco,
Zenith, Ampro...I've NEVER met one I couldn't tweak to its finest
performance...but always very conservatively so they last a good, long
time. I can squeeze the last ounce of clarity out of the cool cheaper
units like the Dwin or NEC or Zenith, learning all of their oddities
over time, but revel in thoroughly working the 9"EM units, the G90 and
Barco 9-series being favorites. I prefer to let folks like Curt work out
repairs, but can measure basic board voltages and do some circuit-level
diagnoses when necessary. I no longer fly for calibrations, though,
since Murphy always gets in the way when I have to pare down my toolkit
to fit the airlines' ever-lessening weight restrictions, and it cost too
much to alter return flights if there are any problems with the
installation. My travel expenses are reasonable, although I am always
happier sharing them with others in the same area. Training includes
being one of the earliest ISF members, regular time at the Runco factory
back when they were something, considerable time with Joe Kane when I
lived in Los Angeles...then all of the hard knocks of being on the road
encountering SO many projectors over the past thirteen years. |

I am willing to help people new to the CRT
scene with advice, installation and setup. Most of my experience is with
the Sony 125x and 127x series, but I have enough general knowledge to be
able to help with other brands as well. I am also able to help with
tweaking your machine to get the best out of it without having an ISF
technician come in. I am willing to travel within a 300 or so mile
radius of my home to help in any way I can. I also have dealt with many
of the problems with the Sony 125x and 127x line, so if you have a
problem with these, feel free to give me a call or email me. I have
always been an electronics/computer nut, and the CRT hobby grew on me
really fast. I have owned one CRT or another since 2002, and currently
have a decent setup with a tweaked Sony VPH 1272Q coupled with a PC and

Graebener ribbons and a DIY sub. My theater doubles as our living room.
High WAF. This is my seventh CRT projector, the predecessors being the
Sony 1031, 1251, 1271, and 1272. Most recently I obtained a Pany digital
for the den. I am learning about gray scale calibration using a Spyder2
and CalMAN. I am glad to share my experiences, or to merely offer my
condolences to others bitten by this bug. |

Barco 808. I'm an enthusiast with a good amount of knowledge and a picky
eye and willing to help achieve an excellent setup for newbies. This is
for fun and not a business, so my availability varies. I am also happy
to show my own setup (currently a BG808) to those interested. |
