Background

This projector had been hung upside down and used lightly for training purposes (by me) since new until I started using it at home for the Xbox... :D

When it was taken down by the IT numpties the left front foot was snapped off, but the actual projection can be manipulated so much (in terms of the control you have over the picture), it has never caused me an issue, in fact if I was going to keep it I would be hanging it up from the ceiling again. Alternatively I just wedge a little something under one side.

The lamp is good for at least 1700 hours (in standard mode, 3000 in Eco) and it has only covered 215, so it has the vast majority of its life left.

In good nick all round and I have a copy of the manual, although everything you need can be downloaded from the Epson link I mentioned above. I do not have a remote control but haven't needed one really as it auto senses anything that is plugged in.

Best offers please via PM and add any questions to the thread for everyone to see. I do have a figure in mind, but I ain't gonna share it... ;)

It can be collected or couriered but will need to be insured.

This is the actual unit:

Not only that, the guy selling it on the other forum has the same user name as Steve does here!

Amazing coincidence!
