Hi folks,I recently picked up 2 Barco 1209S projectors. Both of them work fine.
Unfortunately, they are too big for my small space. I was wondering what they are worth on the 2nd hand market these days? I know they used to retail for big bucks.

Hi thereYou have 2 very-highly regarded projectors, based on the ranking in this chart:

That Barco can do all HDTV resolutions, 1080p, and more!Value of CRT projectors is based primarily on the condition of the 3 tubes. A poor/bad installation/calibration or over-use can wear out the tubes quickly. CRT phospher burn (extreme wear) quickly reduces the value. Regardless, prices for used CRT projectors are a small fraction of the decade-old MSRP (over $30K each for your Barcos).
There's a small but active market for used CRT projectors. Check CRT projector sections of ebay, avsforum and videogon for typical prices. There's a lot of discussion in the CRT PJ forums of avsforum and curtpalme. And Curt's site has a ton of info on history, setup, and manuals for PJs.
