Hello fellow members
Normally I don’t like to address these issues on a public forum when there are other ways to deal with them. However, sometimes we must, as there seems to be no other way other than costly litigation, to defend oneself against what anybody can post on the Internet. These issues, when posted online, could and normally become a “He said, I said” bunch of garbage that no one cares about but tend to damage the reputation of many decent individuals.
So I must respond for the first and last time and let this lead where it may. I have other ways to deal with false allegations without interfering with discussions related to film collecting. I have sold my products to many world-wide members of this forum through this venue without any problems.
Let’s begin…
quote:
”What a scam. The flicker you talk about is not due to a problem with the projector. It is caused by film speed not matching shutter speed on your HD camera. You need to adjust one or the other or both until the flicker is gone. Google "DIY film transfer" for info.”
Fritz,
I would be very careful in throwing the word “SCAM” around without knowing all of the facts! It may come back to bite you.
Here is my version relating this issue.
The projector received by Mr. Gosney arrived in perfect working condition and he was very happy with it. However, the original lamp burned out while he was working on his project, LAMPS DO BURN OUT!
He contacted me about it and I mentioned to him that lamps for his projector were only rated for 15 hours of use, some last longer others last less and even others burn right after being installed. I told him that replacements were selling in the neighborhood of $80 to $100 because they are not being manufactured.
I suggested to him that if he shipped the projector back to me I would be happy to convert it so he could use much less expensive lamps with a longer rated life. He agreed and send the projector back to me.
The conversion was done promptly. Unfortunately, we had severe weather issues in the Northeast around that time and I fell a bit behind in my shipping because of this and other personal issues. One of my sons, who helps me from time-to-time, while attempting to ship several projectors ended up placing the wrong printed label and postage on Mr. Gosney’s projector and it was accidentally shipped to Santa Barbara, CA.
When I realized a mistake has been made and knowing that Mr. Gosney was in the middle on a project, I immediately sent him a Chinon 3000 (at my expense) as a temporary loaner so he could finish the job for his client while I tracked down the original projector which was sent in error to California.
When Mr. Gosney received the Chinon 3000 he contacted me and told me it was not working properly and he was sending it back.
When I received the Chinon back I checked it and found the pressure plate was open which must have been the reason the projector didn't work, I closed it and tested the unit, IT WORKED PERFECT!
2 days later, I received the modified Bell & Howell back which was returned by the person who received it by mistake. If Mr. Gosney had not cancelled the order, the original projector would have been in his hands by now because I ship everything by Priority Mail.
Instead, now, Mr. Gosney is telling members of this forum and perhaps a worldwide audience to “Be very careful dealing with this individual,” after I went the extra mile for him while covering all expenses!
What bothers me the most is that this is a FORUM for collectors, bringing issues here a transactions that happened on eBay should be handled through eBay and/or PayPal which already have ample regulations in place to resolve these issues where both parties get an opportunity to tell their side of the story.
I have been a member of this Forum since 2007 and I have been, I believe, a contributing individual who has tried to help other members while receiving valuable information myself from such group of knowledgeable collectors.
Relating Mr. Gosney’s original projector, I will issue a full refund, as I had in many instances through eBay. All my products are sold UNCONDITIONALLY GUARANTEE and I have close to 2000 positives feedback with one negative left in 2007 by someone who tried to get a free Sony PlayStation game.
He lost the case and left a negative feedback in retaliation. That is life in the world of Ebay!
It appears to me that Mr. Gosney became a member of this forum solely for the purpose of posting his version relating our transaction.
However, the following communication received from Mr. Gosney on January 18, 2015 may shed some light in our transaction.
This may be against the forum’s rules but this is the only way I can defend my position.
quote:
"Hi Juan. Attached is the PDF file for UPS shipping costs for the projector. You are already doing so much for me that I feel I should at least split the costs with you on shipping the projector to you if that’s agreeable. I want to see you at least make some money on your sale because you have been so nice about this. Also as previously discussed with you, I have a model Wards 809 Duo 8 projector that I would like you to research as to what it would cost to make it a variable speed projector if you could research the cost of modifying it for me and as a separate cost research for changing it to a halogen bulb as the current one (DMD 80 watts) runs about $60. If you ever get to the west coast around my area let me know as I would love to take you out for a round of golf.
Sincerely
Clay Gosney"
Relating the original post by Vin, the projector arrived with a broken take-up spindle, it took some time to find a good one and is being send back to him at no cost.
Perhaps the moderator of this forum, after reviewing what is being discussed here, which is not collection-related and seems to be written to damage someone’s reputation without specific and irrefutable proof, may decide to delete the entire thread.
Thank you
Sincerely
Jon Addams

Mr. Collins,
You first contacted me about a Chinon 6100 on 1-09-2014 and for the next two months kept contacting me with questions about a number of projectors such as the zoom question about the Chinon 9500. Details about the Eumig 824, 822, etc. all of which and answered promptly.
When you sent the Sankyo 2000H you were skeptical when I told you it arrived broken. IT DID and I sent you photos of the damage. I mentioned a part was needed and it may take some time for me to find it. When I finally did I mentioned this to you on an email and several weeks passed before I heard from you.
As you know we played telephone tag for a while. finally you started this thread when I was unavailable due to reasons beyond my control. When we finally spoke I asked you if you wanted the unit repaired and sent back and you told me to send it back broken.
The machine is packed and ready to ship, there is matter of shipping cost or perhaps you want to pick it up yourself to make absolutely sure it is the same projector you sent me as I don't want to read here or anywhere else that you received another machine. Perhaps you have the serial number written somewhere if so, send it to me and I will ship the projector back at my cost, including the broken part and the replacement I bought absolutely free!
Regarding mu health status is something I have been battling for several years and it doesn't matter to me who believes it or not, that's between me and my doctors. I also have a family that helps with my small eBay business but they do not handle repairs or returns. For your information, I DO NOT repair projectors for anybody other than my buyers which are not. I took yours after you contacted me a couple of dozen times.
I only have your word you sent the projector in one piece and never gave it a second thought when it arrived broken.
You have my address and telephone numbers, contact me privately to close this issue.
Thank you
Jon
P.S. I will not be available until Monday, April 13. You can also pick up your projector at the CineSea convention in Wildwood, New Jersey which I plan to attend later this month (April 25 and 26).
