A high quality Leica projector of 10 to 20 years old will be a superb projector and will cost not more then a few hundred dollars. If bought private probably even less. Just make sure you have one with a good lens. A colorplan is the one to look for. A good screen is also very important. I got a 500 wat pradovit schoolprojector for nothing from a friend. I bought a prado66 for 30 Euro's the other day. Cheers, Michiel Fokkema
