Title: Rear-projection-lamps.... was´nt there a company.....?
Post by: synonym9 on July 07, 2014, 06:51:53 pm

Guys, once I came accross a company that was specialized in lamps of rear-projection systems of arcade-games.
I have an Crisis Zone and could trade it against a Crisis Zone Deluxe with a 50" rear projection-system.

I know that those rear-projectors always got horrible burn ins and the lamps are always very low in power and sharpness.

If you guys could tell me where to get replacement lamps I would change my Crisis Zone against a Crisis Deluxe and also would by other Deluxe Cabinets like House of the Death and so on.....

Can you help me with this?

surely the age of a crisis zone will be crt rptv rather the lcd ptv

the lcd ptv were used on later stuff like hotd4 and rambo-they use lamps,the older rptv use 3 separate colour guns

You could try Curt Palme as he deals with used Front-Projection.  http://www.curtpalme.com/ (http://www.curtpalme.com/)

And VDC is the last company that still makes CRT if I'm not mistaken.  They used to rebuild tubes (no idea if they still do)....I have some of their rebuilds in an Ampro 3300hd myself.  http://www.videodisplay.com/html/about_us.html (http://www.videodisplay.com/html/about_us.html)

And of course.......used off fleabay.
