How about a home-made OHP

[will1384]

I started with the MkIII plans and mod ed it - it started has a
MkIII - I ran into lots of problems - not MkIII problems,
but lack of time - lack of distance from the screen -ect -ect

I had to keep changing lens and stuff - I had a focus adjust
like the MkIII but with the mirror and lens the focus that was
good for the screen was inside the hole, and unusable -
it was in the middle of the thickness of the wood - also if
I moved it up some I would have to hang from the ceiling
- that was ok, but it would hang so low that I was not able
to sit under it - my old van seat is under it, and I sit on it
to watch movies - so lack of time and Ideas - I knew that
the OHP arm would allow me the hang it up higher and
have a better focus assembly at the cost of a little
keystone-ing

So the MkIII lost its head and became a OHP
thought I would share it with you all

It works well, and is brighter than my retro fitted OHPs were
I would have liked a real projector, but this works well
and the next thing I will work on is my PSONE projector
