This sounds a good offer. Price a little high, but see what it includes.

Whoa, a new worm gear in a new projector! It might run forever...

It's lack of use that makes the Bell & Howell worm gear dry up and eventually crack, but in this case it's been fitted with the new type of black worm gear which conceivable will last a long time.

See the picture of the inside (near the screwdriver) which shows the new worm in position.

If I lived in the US, or anywhere which had 115volt mains, I would certainly buy one, but the mains here are 230volt. I could buy a separate transformer but that's not really practical.

In addition to the new worm gear, the projectors have had a lot of care and attention, and even it seems, come in their original cardboard box.

$550 is a lot of money, however, I've done a little business with ICECO in the past and was completely pleased. Given their reputation and the scope of their business, I don't think you could go wrong if the price is OK.

A year or two ago I think they had a few of these for sale for $400 or $450. This is definitely more.
