Well, I don't think it necessary to import such
monsters projectors after all, because there are plenty of them in Europe for sale. But even when I find one for sale, the seller won't ship it... and I can understand it : realllly heavy, huge size,fragile ... and shipping costs probably almost as huge as shipping a cabinet!

So my best hope is to wait one for sale, not to far from my place.
Two months ago, someone not too far from Paris had ...TWO... projectors for sale... Because I use to go to Paris often to visit wife's family, we combined the family trip and went to that seller with wife & daughter (a kind of mini road trip) ...and bought them! It was a mess inside the car. All of stuff for vacation, and must find free space for these two projectors!

These models are SONY VPM-104
2QM, who seems to have the same specs than the SONY VPM-104
3QJ that came originally with the GT6.

I didn't test them yet connected to the theater because :
- they are 220V, and the model inside the GT6 works under 110V. I think there is a switch inside the projector to switch between 220V & 110V?
- will probably have to set the right 'focus' position for the tubes, because the previous seller didn't use these projectors with the same "projector<>screen" distance
- will have to remove one from the gt6 and I'm too lazy to do it...

But I think they will do the job right. So I have at last two *spare* projectors... and I'm still looking for more of course

So if one of you can help me on that, I would really appreciate

Here's the query guys
SONY VPH 1042 and I think other models in the series SONY VPH 104
X should be ok too.
Oh, and a last note regarding the initial/original projector SONY VPM-1043QJ who has the 'missing blue' problem. I went with that projector to a Sony center close to my work, and ask them for a repair. They got the projector, they got also 60 or 80€ (can't remember exactly) to draw up a quote. Two weeks later, they told me : not possible to repair, no more part available for that mode!

Damn! I paid €€€ just for someone told me that
