Hey, first time poster, did search, couldn't find what I was looking for so thought I'd post...
I'm looking to build a DIY Projector, I have an XGA 14" panel that's come apart nicely (from an old TFT Monitor from work) was pretty mutilated and I've chucked the casing now so I have no idea what it was but the TFT panel itself is fine.
My Problem is on firing up the OHP (a 3M 9700) i noticed it has a nasty scratch in the fresnel lens which kinda ruins the picture. Any ideas for suppliers for a new lens. I found a 3M part number but that hasn't yielded much, also I'm in the UK so need a UK supplier (naturally) but do have US contacts if I need to ship to the US. The 3M part number is 78-8054-1236-4.
Any advice or help would be much appreciated, I really don't want to have to buy another OHP...
<Sidenote> a poster called bitbyter posted saying he was using parts from 2 9700s... if he reads this and has a spare I'd be willing to buy it off him for a reasonable price. Bitbyter, if you're reading this, have a spare fresnel and are interested in selling it please email me on lion dot tamer at gmail dot com.</Sidenote>
Thanks in advance for any help from anyone,
Ben
