Just a follow-up. I received an e-mail from the seller this evening regarding the warnings and safety suggestions I sent earlier in the day. He said that he was acting on behalf someone else, and this other bloke had 30 of the things he wanted to sell!He pulled the new auctions down and said he'd pass the "many" similar messages onto the owner of the items. I *really* hope nobody gets hurt with these things. ------------------
Cheers,
Peter, W2IRT No trees were harmed in creating this message, however several thousand electrons were terribly inconvenienced.

But what if a theatre owner wanted to buy it? As for the shipping concerns, I know some people have driven to go get stuff they bought on eBay.Still...a used Xenon bulb? I'm skeptical of them when they're brand new from the factory...even if this one was new, who knows where it's been or how it's been stored. Case in point: I recently rejected one of the spare lamps from the company I do maintenance for because of how the lamp was stored. BTW...I just LOVE the title of this thread!

"He said that he was acting on behalf someone else, and this other bloke had 30 of the things he wanted to sell!"Surely not, this is, after all, a *"very unique"* lamp! I have to say that xenon lamps make me nervous. I've run xenon projectors from time to time, but never 4.5k ones. What screen size would you use this for? Typical lamps I see are between 1600W and 2.5kW. The State, Grays, when it was open had 2.5k in two projectors, and carbons in the third. This was a very large screen, and the picture was not that bright, maybe 4.5k would have been about right for a screen this size. I know there's somebody here from Bradford, wasn't the original IMAX installation there 4k, before it went 3D? That screen was a heck of a lot bigger than most cinemas.
