COMPLETE!!!!Yes finally my New PJ is finished and i have pics to follow Thanks goes out to MAKS 0001 you have truly inspired me with your build and guess what i am using my old slide bulb with a condenser 6 fans so it stays really cool i made up a zoom mechanism and the davis power beam lens already had a focus built into it using a split design 220mm and the 330 mm the projected pic is incredible!!Ilove it when the old bulb goes i will then replace with the new one and the balast.I also need to find a computer power supply to run the fans as i am just using a 16 volt power supply.To many pugs to deal with and there is no switches hooked up yet either .Here is a pic of the Simpsons.Check it out!!!It's hard to hold the camera still .

Re: New projector from India !
Hey Cool_1.... three cheers on your success. Talking abt inspiration, I feel that it just goes passed on... as Budhi inspired me. Use a tripod to get those pics. It is infact hard to hold the camera still, especially if you set your cam for long time exposure. I have a professional tripod, so the job was easy for me.
Well, finally yesterday I made the screen. It's made up of PVC poly-cloth... the one that we see used for big hoardings on traffic signals. It's not very high-contrast thing, but the image quality has improved to much better than the white bedsheet that I was using earlier. Will upload some pics tomm.

One other thing I forgot to mention, Cool_1.... In the snap that you had attached, the corners look a slightly dull and the centre looks lit up as compared to the corners.... maybe, it could be the old lamp that you are using. Am sure U'll fix this soon..!!

All well, buddy..... enjoying the shows in our theatre...!!! 😀
didn't c u online on yahoo for quite long... so was just wondering whazzup..!!
Here I am with the next failure story. The box is ready with everything fitted in. Now the LCD is not working!!!. Tried my best by checking all the connections/ wiring to the panel, but no use!! sigh!!
So sorry to hear that, Pollok.... am sure you must have checked the FFC cable too, as that's what we screw up with most of the times. Hope U'll fix that soon and come up with some really great results.
Yes, Maks, I think I have broken the FFC. Now I have to look for a 32 pin FFC cable!!! Thanks for your comforting words.

Pollok!! Extreme CAUTION !!must be used when fitting the LCD into the PJ and it should also be the last thing put into the pj be carefull with the ffc cable they are very touchy.Hope you get it fixed as i to would like to see some results!

Yes, cool1, I was very cautious, and I took out the Lcd only at the last moment. But while fixing it in the frame I think I would have pulled the ffc a little harder! and bong! my 3rd lcd gone!!
By the way, friends, Lumenlab has started selling their own projectors (very neat looking) for $500. Have a look at it. I came across it while trying to find out if they have the 32 pin ffc. The store link is taking us directly to the new projector page, and the spare parts page is not there!! Now where to go for the FFC?!!!

Hey Pollok, does that mean you have binned three LCDs till now in the building process? Gosh..!!! you would have got a low cost lcd projector for that price.
Well, I screwed up 2 lcds -3rd one I could not use, as it was connected to the panel on 3 sides. So that lcd is safe. The other 2, yes, they might work only with new FFCs I think.
Yes Maks, I too am thinking that I should have gone for a low-cost PJ, but the thrill of making your own is still pulling me. But no new lcds! Only if I can repair the existing ones. Now where can I get this FFC? I need a 32 pin one. Can somebody help?
