Hey Everyone, Im New To These Forums But Have Been A Lurker For Awhile. So Yesterday I Finally Decided To Get My Feet Wet. I Found A Proxima Ovation A822c Projection Panel Locally For $10, With No Power Supply, And Was As-Is. So I Went Back Home, Searched The Net For The Pin-Out, And Created A Mock-Up Power Source For Testing Purposes Only. Ill Let Some Pics Describe The Rest.

Mock Up Power Source, I Used A Power Supply From An Old Computer.


Turned It On, And It Worked! Here Shows *Old School* Movie.


Today, Bought A New Power Supply ($2.50) And Also Found An Old Keyboard End To Use To Create The Power Supply End.


New End.


Here's The Entire Thing, Stripped Naked, Awaiting A New Home.


Im Just Waiting On An Overhead Projector To Come My Way So I Can Strip It Of Its Optics.
Oh, A Question For You Pros, Would I Be Able To Utilize An Old CRT Projection Lens? Came Out Of An Old Sony CRT Projector.

Thanks, And Let Me Know What Any Of You Guys Think. I'll Keep Updating As Parts Come.

*Update*

I Just Picked Up Some Overhead Projectors, 9 Of Them In Total. Why 9 Of Them You Ask?! Well The Guy Locally Was Selling Them As A Take All Lot, At A Price Of $50. So I Handed Him My Cash, And Now Have 9 Overhead Projectors.

Pics! *From Seller*



The Models Are As Follows:
3- APOLLO 6
1- BUHL Model 90
1- PORTA-SCRIBE Model G-100
1-3M Model 905D
1-3M Model 66ABC
1-DA-LITE Model PS-360
1-3M Model 9050

Now I Can Finally Start The Build. Build Starts Hopefully Tomorrow Afternoon. Will Update As Progress Is Made.

I'm interested to see how this turns out...


I also just turned from lurker, go us.

I'll Keep The Thread Updated As I Make Progress On This Thing. I Can't Wait To Get It Up And Running!

How big is that panel? You'll probably have focal length mismatches with your fresnals, and a crt lens is used with curved screens so focus may be a real problem.

Those singlets might make a good precondenser for the lamp.

Outstanding!

An old lcd panel for $10 and 9 overheads for $50......

I'll be watching this one...... keep up the good work!

*Update*

Stripped One Of My 9 Overheads, Got All Electronics Out Of It, As Well As The 2 Fresnels And Other Lenses. Build Will Hopefully Start Tomorrow After Work. Did A Little Bit Of A Test Today, Just Thru The Panel Onto The Overhead, And Shot It Onto A Screen.

Pics!


Sorry About All The Pic's Quality, Been Taken With My Phone Cam. Build Starts Tomorrow! ... (im hoping) Will Keep Everyone Updated.
