This was sent in by another viewer who was having a situation where the projector would run for a bit. Then it would freeze and shut down. Their initial diagnosis showed the lamp fan no longer spinning. This is not uncommon in Sim2's of that age. After repairing a small capacitor issue, I installed the fan and reassembled the projector a few times. Sim2 is the only brand of projector that truly requires disassembly to replace the lamp. I imagine it cuts down on cost as well as the need for lamp housing design. They do have that frame at the front but that is hardly a housing. This makes it good in some ways but annoying in other ways. The picture is so nice though. They (Sim2) know what they are doing I suppose ;)
On a personal note, this is projector housing is a beautiful color. I didn't know they sold them in that red until I saw this one. I will keep an eye out in the future for myself.
The fan sizes are 80x80x15mm and 60x60x15mm. The lamp is a 120W P22 reflector (UHP in this case but PVIP will also work).
Bare Bulb:
I've had a handful of Sim2's to look at lately. They are a lot of fun to work on.

Thank you for watching and if you have any question please let me know.
