    How old are the projectors?

    I've sold the bulbs and bulb housings. Be very careful handling them and don't touch any glass with your bare fingers. The lenses are anecdotally valuable but I've never managed to sell them.

    To be honest, if you can ship them cheaply enough, I would sell them whole, one or two at a time.

    The cases often have magnesium parts, if your scrap buyer distinguishes that material.

    If they're DLP Projectors, there is a chip inside the projector that is worth a bit of money. Boardsort.com has some information on these chips.



    Boardsort.com buys Ceramic DLP Display Light Processors by the pound.
