    Description

    This projector took some damage during transit.  The front intake grill was broken so I used some wire mesh and hot glue to reinforce this area as shown in the images.  The bulb had 600+ hours on it and has a crack on the backside of the bulb (new bulb is like on Amazon) itself as well as one of the filaments is broken, however as you can see it does still power up and is "functional".  The bigger issue is there is a blue edge to the projected image as seen in the photo and the main reason I tore this completely down.  In the images you will see that all the glass, mirrors, lenses and diffuser are in fine shape and lined up as they should be.  The lens is in good shape and not damaged either so my estimation there is something possibly wrong with one of the three LCD's.  I did try a new bulb and can say that the blue edge is greatly reduced with a new bulb but is still present, of course the image is much brighter though understand this is a top end 1080p projector from 14 years ago and only 1000 lumens (took the picture middle of the day so not great light control for this unit).
    I used to repair laptops, lots of them, so have some familiarity with taking stuff apart in this fashion but I managed to come out with 12 extra screws (one just didn't want to go back in there so I can account for that one).  These things are put together tight so highly unlikely this will effect operation but will certainly include these if buyer ventures a try at repair and reassembly.
    Unit does not come with the remote (can be found on Amazon for ).  This uses a odd shape filter that it didn't come with, these are ridiculously priced at like .  I have found you can purchase floor vent filters from Lowes/Home Depot in packs of like 5 for and just cut to shape.
    This sucker is pretty big and 25lbs or so, shipping will not be cheap as to why the price is where it is.
    I suspect you could certainly use it as is w/ a new bulb as the blue line isn't as aggressive with a newer bulb or take it apart and fix what I couldn't figure out.
