i have not played with these diy tv projectors in some time now, but if your just getting started with them, then just pickup a cheap fresnel lens from office depot or what have you and build a cardboard box to hold the lens in front of your crt tv.   as for the backwards picture. only safe way is to flip the tv. if you really want to you could open the back of the tv and switch the 2 wires... i did this once on my small 14" tv when i first started in this hobby and it worked well. it also corrected the mirror image so you can read text properly ..   --- On Tue, 4/22/08, greenymeany1234 <no_reply@yahoogroups.com> wrote: From: greenymeany1234 <no_reply@yahoogroups.com> Subject: [DIYProjectionTV] Need help please read To: DIYProjectionTV@yahoogroups.com Date: Tuesday, April 22, 2008, 4:45 PM Hi I have been researching thease projectors for about 1year (roughly) now and am trying to build one but the problem I am haveing is getting the lense (which I can't order online) and also figuring out how to make it so i don't have to turn the tv upside down (its ok if i have to) But I am Trying to get the best quality of projector of this type CRT TV (not lcd) for the absoulute lowest price and would love it if someone had a lense I could have for free or for cheap (I would have to send cash tho)I am doing this for use in my bedroom which is in the basement and only has one window which I think I will cover up with Black out cloth And the reason I can't order online and have to send cash is I am 14 years old yes It's true but am really smart I program computers for fun and would like to give this a try. Thankyou please reply soon!
