got a commercial projector with no bulb off ebay (plan to make my own light engine for it..wish me luck i need it!!) ...and it came with the lens cracked...friken canada post...there was a fragile sticker on the box...but it says ceramics and glass not covered if damaged...*******s..anyway..it looks like its like just an outer protecting glass, but the glass has a green tint to it when you look get a reflection of light on it....but the lens seems to be ok under it (see pic 2) so my question is if i just removed whats broken will i still get the same image quality asuming the lens under it is ok???



An externally hosted image should be here but it was not working when we last tested it.

well my first poblem is getting the projector to work....i dont have a bulb and without one the unit wont function..it turns on but the lcds wont run without a bulb...most commercial projectors have this feature ...and i have to figure out how to trick the projector into thinking the original bulb is in when its not..and then figure out a way to make my own light engine fit....
