Optoma HD26 DLP Projector Color Wheel Replacement

This is a followup for the Optoma HD26 that I picked up that had a missing index mark on the color wheel. At some point the foam under the color wheel had lost its adhesion(heat related probably) and the foam lifted and got cut into by the color wheel. This caused the wheel to wear out and the heat caused the index mark to fall off. In the first video, I replaced the index mark to test the projector but noticed it was louder than it should have been. I picked up the color wheel from eBay (just searched HD26 color wheel).

Now the projector is much more quiet, as you will hear.

I think I'm going to use this one for a bit. I am getting bored with my Optoma TH1060w. My only concern is the HD26 will not be as bright but we will see. I'll be doing some lux measurements before I take it down and after I hang up the HD26.

Either of them are for sale if anyone is looking. Send me an email if you are interested. [email protected]

If you need a lamp for your HD26, here is a site that I know has good lamps: https://www.projectorlamps.com/optoma...
