anyone on this forum own one?

Clyde
A year ago you were after a second machine. Did you ever get this rather rare model?

yes maurice, got 3 now but always on the look out for another.

I read that the lamps have a short lifespan?

the manual says 75hrs, but i think more likely 50hrs. they do dim just a bit towards the end,
but not had one fail prematurely yet, super bright white light, really good if your using
darker lens.

That's OK Clyde; I saw some lamps in the U'S, listed at $250. Are there any other benefits to this projector?; does this operate at 110 volts?

yes 110v, no advantages over a normal tq3. i do like the douser for changing reels, and also the push button
controls. silly prices for the lamps in the states, i got a job lot from a chap in canada, so i'm good for years
to come.

still looking for another 1568, best
