Just won an obsolete pj

[JeffStickney]

got an nview L500 on the way- far from top of the line, but $200 is dirt cheap.

Only problem (so far) is once the bulb is gone, the projector is gone- since nview no longe makes pj's. If I can't rig something I guess it's a disposable projector.

did I just make a $200 mistake?

there's hope

if you can match the rating of the "new" lamp to the old one then you shouldn't have a problem. just make sure that it's the same or you might overload your power supply and burn out the lamp or the projector.

i've done it before

Any idea about this old one: Apollo avp-550? I searched google using different combination without luck.

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

18wheeler,

i have no idea about that projector. I tired doing a few searches and came up empty. Are you sure that is a avp-550 lcd projector? Did you see that on the projector itself? Maybe you should contact Apollo and see if they can help you find some specs or a manual or something. Basically just match wattage, and lamp size.

I couldn't find anything on their website. and from the information I gathered, they stop produce LCD projector. most the model numbers associated with apollo start with VP-xxx, like vp-820 to vp-920. i did a search with vp-550 without result. I will call their 800 number to find out if they still have manuals.
