They rarely make it to half their warranty life. They aren't worth the money you think you're saving. -Aaron  |  IP: Logged Louis Bornwasser Film God Posts: 4441 From: prospect ky usa Registered: Mar 2005 posted 07-30-2007 06:49 PM                        Are these new? Or from 20 years ago? Total crap!!

My records from that period indicate that in the old Christie consols they tended to mostly go dark before showing any flicker or inability to strike. I agree with the consensus that there are far better brands available for purchase.  |  IP: Logged
