Under $200 on Amazon.  I'd be willing to<br>
buy it on my account and send it back if<br>
it doesn't work.  Plus it's HDMI and I can<br>
donate a 50' HDMI cable.  That would fix<br>
the issue with the wonky VGA cable.<br>

Hi<br>
<br>
So I sent the lamp back which didn't fit and now I'm looking at other<br>
options.<br>
<br>
Looks like bare bulbs from Hong Kong are around $100<br>
<br>

<br>
The housing itself looks ok to me, shall we try this? Is someone up for<br>
mounting the bulb into the LAMP?<br>
<br>
Might this be better becasue we get a longer lamp life again as if it<br>
were brand new? Instead of buying another used projector?<br>
<br>
Thanks for your thoughts....<br>
