Years ago, I remember seeing an online article on how to make a projector from an old 19" T.V. Some folks here have been talking about getting large videos on a picture window or piece of scrim. I found the article and thought some people may want to try this as opposed to buying a projector. It's made from cardboard and a plastic lens, and it's adjustable.

The fresnel lens that you would need can be found on ebay, or just put an ad in craigslist that you will pick up someones fried wide screen and take it to the dump for them. FREE LENS

The way I figured, it most likely wouldn't be good high-def for movies, but would work fine for the high contrast flash videos that haunters need them for. I'm gonna' try it.

Could also be good to magnify pepper's ghost videos.

Yes Sir, those are the ones, only the lens that you would need is a little bigger......I think. They may work.
