SAC bought the projector mid-Feb 2005--Andrew Goodwin was kind of the "middle man" as he found a deal on the BEN-Q through his work or something. The projector came with a 36month parts & labor warranty which I'm almost positive Andrew gave to the treasurer(Al Stewing?) along with the receipts, etc. for reimbursement. So it's key to find the paperwork now as 36 months is up next month. Dick Harshaw had mentioned something about clearing some vent or something of dust, did we try that yet? Also, there was a mention that the GC rooms are gearing up for projectors in each room. Does anybody happen to know when that will happen and if SAC is permitted to use it.

I know of another shop that fixes cameras and checked out my slide projector. They're in Chandler, just east of I-10 off Chandler Blvd. I can ask if they'll do it, too as a backup.
