So sorry chaps! Circumstances have meant that I haven't been back to the school yet, but I have just emailed the Head and asked her how much she wants for them. I will also get the exact specs on Monday (all being well!) but roughly there are 2 (maybe 3) sets of: Board (size and quantity): 78" Projector (type) and Remotes: Sanyo (with remote) Amp & Speakers: These are a new system that I have not seen in any other schools yet. They have a small white volume control and what appear to be active speakers so no separate amp. They may keep these though as they are replacing with 2+ boards - not sure if audio is integrated on these? Input: USB (if that's what you meant) Splitter: No - not needed as they are used with laptops Cage: No BECTA Box: No Where: Norfolk I will get back here as soon as I have more info. Cheers James

You're very welcome! And thank you for your discretion - it would be soooo embarrassing if anybody ever knew! I was also impressed by your Meriva - I nearly bought one myself a couple of years ago but then got something a bit cheaper. I think I might get one next time I'm changing cars though. I found the keys and some other bits for it, so let me know if you're in the Norwich area in the near future and we can arrange to meet up to hand them over. All the best James

A little impatient aren't we? I only visit that school once a week so I won't be able to get back to you with any more details for a few days. My original post was to try to find places to possibly sell the boards - I didn't expect anybody to necessarily want to buy them through here. I will post back when I can get some more details. Cheers James

As for size, I think they are 78s but need to check that. I did put in my original post though that the school want to replace them with short throw versions. As I understand it, the +2 boards are the short throw ones, or am I mistaken?

Hi Teddy Sorry for the delay. I hopefully have a new owner lined up now, but if anything changes, I'll let you know. With regard to your questions, a photo might be difficult as the rack is currently laying on it's side with other stuff piled up around it. However, it is in very good nick and is pretty similar to the new 4210 with a few cosmetic differences - see Dell picture attached. Thanks for your interest though.

I'd just like to say a big thank you to Softease. They have sent me the new (beta?) version as promised which I will test very shortly. I will post back here with my experiences if I discover anything interesting.

I'm waiting for a response from the Head on that score. I will post back if/when i get one. I assume nobody has any brilliant ideas on ways to sell them for good money then... Mez

Hi all Can anybody recommend the best place (if there is one!) to sell a couple of Promethean IWBs with projectors? One of my schools is panicking about the HSE warnings about retinal damage, and wants to replace it's Reception boards (only a few months old) with short throw versions so the users do not stand in the beam as much. Heh, it's not my idea! I considered eBay, but I don't think they would go for much. Perhaps I'm wrong though... Cheers James

I have had some interest, but at the moment is still available. I went to check the size, but didn't have a proper tape to measure it with. Using a ruler though (!) it is approx 800mm deep and 600mm wide. Thanks James

Sorry TeddyKGB if I misinterpreted your post. Perhaps a smiley might have indicated the tone better? It would be good if you could just beam it over though - I don't suppose you have access to any stolen alien teleportation technology, do you?

Aha! Thanks John.

PM replied to (I think!) - should it be in the Outbox or Sentbox?

Or maybe they could just use a van? I think I did make this clear... Sorry to appear sarcastic, but I am offering it for free. I'm not sure what more I can offer? :?

I believe that although the external panels can be removed, the internal frame is welded at the corners. And I also seem to remember some advice about not dismantling racks if possible as they are factory aligned and if pulled about too much can be a sod to get true again. But regardless of the overall size of the thing, it also weighs A LOT! I think it's about 200kg in total, and when new was specially mounted on a pallet for carriage, so using any sort of carrier to transport it is not really an option.

Perhaps if you have a car crusher available! 8O
