In the "Question and Answer" box, the seller says, if you use Buy It Now, you will get serviced for free. [Razz]

Can someone please enlighten me regarding what TRV stands for? The price sounds extremely high to me but cnsidering that the person asking the question sounds interested, maybe I'm unaware of the value of these projectors

In this instance I think TRV may stand for Totally Ridiculous Valuation.
I think these machines date back to the 90s and represent quite old technology especially in terms of the sensor so the price asked is even more outrageous - of course with 'buy-it-now' it only takes one numpty...

"1piece 16mm (15FPS)"? I thought all 16mm is 24 fps.

The last time one of these showed up on ebay Australia it went for around $10,000. You need to compare it to say a Tobin system or other similar transfer projectors however. I'd go a Tobin.

These all use a single chip internal sensor, I saw a demo of one of these back in the 80's, and thought the resulting transfer was inferior to shooting off a back projection screen with a 3 chip camera.
