Transformation of Vogue magazine into a home projector part 1 (careful traffic)

       Welcome all!

       To get started, I purchased a Vogue magazine with a player. I must say right away - dear little magazine, since I bought it on the hammer already for 1000 rubles, but this is not so important.

       When purchasing a magazine, a plan of action for its transformation into a projector has long matured in my head, since the old Svityaz M slide projector was lying around at home. So he prevented me from sleeping.



       Having carefully studied the resource diyprojector.info, with the help of my brothers in arms, I transgressed. I’ll make a reservation right away, the project is not finished yet, because the holidays prevented me, you know which ones, and I could not get Fresnel lenses on time. Only one ruler with a lens was bought in an office supply store.
       “Chinese welding” also helped me a lot :) - hot glue.
       So what we have:
    • Slide projector "Svityaz M" - 1 pc - our protagonist got a gift
    • Vogue magazine - 1 pc. - 1000 rub.
    • Lens “Industar 51” - 1 pc. - 800 rubles
    • A piece of galvanization - 1 pc - found at home
    • Two coolers of 80 mm - 2 pieces - took out from old BP

    That's all. Of course, plus smooth hands and foreign instruments :)))

       And, as Gagarin said: “Let's go!”

    Actually, the creation process itself.

    Disassembled "Svityaz", as it is.

    The lens "Industar 51" was purchased from a junkman, in the market for 800 rubles, the lenses are in perfect condition.

    The theoretical scheme, as it is possible to implement, the optical scheme in a small volume of the case, (Itself did not justify itself)

    image

    The scheme in operation, large losses on the mirrors, considered it to be unprofitable.

    image

    The standard lamp unit, very large, it was decided to reduce it and remove one of the lenses for no need.

    Cleaning the bottom of the projector from the seats, they can be seen in the first photo
    In general, there was a "Metalworker Day" with a grinder.

    image

    I sawed the case into two parts in order to connect it and extend it in the second part, it will be seen how this is implemented.

    All work on the body is completed, proceed to the alteration of the cooling system of the lamp unit.
    By the way, the block itself also underwent a rework.

    installed a converted lamp unit, and figured coolers and the front panel.

    He glued everything with hot glue, and put it together for inspection, using masking tape, closed it, checked it, it seemed that it didn’t light up from the light bulb, and that’s good.

    image

    The whole unit is ready, tested for 5 hours, the temperature inside 74 degrees, everything keeps in place, but started to smoke, the lamp power trans, that's where the weak link turned out to be.
