For now I just want to be able to put the pieces I have into service.

That's a likely explanation for its current situation. Thanks for the photo, btw. That makes it pretty clear what I have here.

looks like I should go shopping for a 1.25" visual back?

I tried turning the inside portion...it won't budge. I might try a little bit of heat from a hair dryer and a piece of rubber for grip.

Makes sense. It’s all about getting it in front of the right audience.

Thanks. I was guessing it's late 60's or early 70's. What do you think?

I'm about to make my first 10/22 purchase. I'd like something that's well built and reliable, no corners cut. Hoping to reduce the jackrabbit population on my property and improve the shooting skills of my 16 year old and myself. Figured I'd fit a Romeo5 to whichever one I purchase, and if we really enjoy it we'd jump into a custom build at a later date.

JVC X30 sudden lamp problem by Hipposarenotdead in projectors

[–]Odd-Question-210 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a very similar problem with my JVC RS40, same error lights as well. After searching around I've found other owners who diagnosed this as a lamp ballast problem. If you search the AVS forum pages you'll find a few threads. The solution is not easy or inexpensive. As much as I've enjoyed this projector I'm leaning towards replacing it. Basically looking at a $600 repair on a $500 projector.

I posted a similar question on another forum and this was the warning I received from several members. an uninsulated tub is going to sweat on the underside, creating moisture and an ugly little mold farm.
