I'm always interested in member requests for specific parts for a certain machine...every once in a while I find I have exactly what they need and I'm able to help out, thanks to my accumulation of out of commission, or "dead" projectors. This prompted me to wonder how many of you maintain, save, warehouse projectors that have turned the spool for the last time--a parts graveyard?? During Christmas week, when I will have a lot of time off from work, I plan to go through the collection shelves and do some organizing of the machinery and commit an inventory to paper, making it easier and faster to respond to requests. (Some of this stuff hasn't seen the light of day in a good ten years.) Anyone else have a "graveyard"??

Yes I also have a "graveyard" but anytime I need something it is never in my own spare parts!
I usually try to respond if I see someone needs something that I have.
