A post today reminded me I am on the look out for the third screen in on projection TVs (the screens with the lines in it.) I need up to 10 of them . I will pay $5 ea. plus shipping by Walmart money transfer (same day), or check, money order or what ever. They must be un damaged no cracks or gouges.
At my age and condition I can no longer go out and pick up free TVs.
I'm working on a Sun powered smelter which if successful I will share with all of you. mcw
Any size requirements? I scrapped our old projection screen, but I can't remember if I saved that piece or not....
Any thing around 40" or bigger.
I'll check tonight to see if I have it or not. Ours was a 60" Sony.
I'll do the same, but pretty sure I got rid of all mine. Had this been posted this past weekend an i had seen it...I'd be able to help.

its amazing what we can do with stuff I remember when I was in high school making a solar oven but I may use this idea for a grill though since i seen the frame idea on there
if they are magnifyers they may. I'm still in the research stage.Quote:

I can easily buy these lenses on E bay for the same price just thought I might ad some value to big screens for forum members who scrap them.
Sorry to sound pi**ed but I will get over it. I know you were just trying to be helpful.
I checked- ours is split into about six pieces. Sorry about that!
Sorry Olddude. I deleted my post. Like you said, just trying to help.
hey olddude,
what's the best way to ship these to you so they don't get broken?
I'm interested in helping your project because I'm also building an alternative energy business using lots of solar goodies.

If I were shipping them I'd go one of two ways. First possibility would be between two pieces of stiff cardboard. Not the lighter colored cardboard that can't hardly stand up under it's own weight. Marked in several places "DO NOT BEND" and maybe even throw in "PHOTOGRAPHY PRINTS" with continous tape around the edges. Second thought would be in a tube. However, I do not have a sheet of this material on hand to check it's flexibility. It would also depend on the diameter of the tube. Probably cost prohibitive but you could use a concrete form tube from Home Depot, etc. Just a couple of thoughts. Naturally, Olddude will have the last word in this matter.Quote:

No prob, I know you were only trying to help.
Bleh..forgot to update.
Mine got broken by a neighborhood kid. He owned up to it earlier when I was trying to puzzle out what happened to them. LOL.
Sorry I can't help Olddude. I'll keep you in mind tho for any future ones tho if you'll need them.
On teh brightside..Kid is mowing my yard. LOL.
Good luck with the project/business/idea/etc.
Oh an don't be so worried about losing sales. I know everyone will disagree with me, but most people are lazy an will still pay you for your product even if they know they can do it themselves for free or cheaper. Always count on the lazy factor. Notice..key word there is most.
