Heres my idea... ctx 500

Dskatec · 26th January 2006, 10:07 PM

Noob to the forums, but i love what i see here...

if i should ask anyone it would be you guys

So i have an older CTX 500 projector system

Problem is the transistor to the lamp blew...
fixing it would cost 200$+

so that option is out

here is the assembly

here is what im thinking...
if i can use a flood light or something similar and jury rig it in there...
would it work in a similar fashion??

right now what is in there only puts out about 600 lumens, and is a halogen lamp

any ideas???

i need this done before the superbowl!!

heres my OTHER idea...

the bulb is powered seperately from a board

the unit that the bulb actually plugs into is fine..

is it possible for me to unplug the wires to the board and find a unit that will power a 36v 400w evd lamp

anyone know where i can get my hands on something that will power seperately from the projector?
