But...we are all talking about the "normal" projo sets I suspect--from the mid-80's--to the early 2000's. Sets that are too "old to sell", but "too new to save" and too big, common, heavy and /or troublesome to mess with. For a good example-- I simply will NOT waste time either saving, or even fixing --ANY Mitsu DLP from the mid-2000's... they are a NIGHTMARE to fix--or KEEP fixed--(as others here know too well, I suspect!!)

Those Mitsubisahis certainly are nightmares. I've recently dealt with 2 of them.One I recapped both the DM and Formatter boards. The main culprit was the caps on the formatter boards but most were bad on the DM. The DM didn't work afterward.Found one on ebay and even it had some bad caps.Had pink and purple lines in the picture unless heated with a heat gun.
After repairing that one another one came in with power supply issues.(caps and a blown surface mount fuse) After playing perfectly for 15-20 minutes it shut off and wouldn't stay on anymore. It wasn't in the chassis as I swapped it from the repaired one.It was the light engine. Luckily I found a cheap one on ebay and saved the repair. On that first one I don't think I will ever go through that again. Changing all the surface mount caps on those boards and having one not even work at all afterwards.
