Would it be worth buying maybe 2 or 3 of these to try and scavenge parts to make one working projector for <$60?

Any idea of just how dead these projectors are? I wouldn't want to get 3 that are all missing major components.

Thanks,

The most likely failure for these will be the ballast. It is highly likely that even if you buy three of these, you'll get 3 with dead ballasts. The LCDs will likely be good, and the lamps as well.

On the plus side, at least one person that I know of has used a standard 150W MH ballast with these lamps and has a successful projection with it. The projector itself isn't that bad, but the QC on them was not good at all.

Thanks, do you have any suggestions on ballast manufacturers?

edit:

I think I found the post you were mentioning:

now to see how much I could get some ballast's for.
