Do any of you know where I could get a part for this tv,it was built in 1997,but only has a few years use,I had it checked out after it quit,and was told its the voltage regulator,but he didnt think parts were available,hate to scrap it over a small part like this ,worked great,nice picture, just thought I would ask,Ottawa area preferred.. Thanks.

Was that quote from an experienced, reputable projection-TV Repair shop?
You can search Google groups for Hitachi projection, in sci.electronics.repair.
In my very limited experience and knowledge with projection TVs, the parts which often fail are: - SMPS (switched-Mode Power Supply) - IC, cap, transistors - convergence IC - coolant leak of one or more gun(s) onto electronics below.
I find it unlikely that a simple 'regulator' would be already unavailable.
Good luck ! - Sylvain.
Looking for 1966 Bally Capersville, 1967 Bally The Wiggler, 1981 Stern Viper, 1986 Pinstar Gamatron, 1986 Williams Grand Lizard, 1991 Williams Bride of Pinbot, and a few others. Cash or some trades available. Could also repair a machine of yours +/-$ if needed, in exchange for one machine on my want list, non-working/unshopped welcome!
The guy did it for a living for years,but has given it up with the new throw away attitude for electronics he said it was hard to make a living.He said it was the regulator shorted open,tv would shut off,then when you restart it it will just kick off again.He said it was a self protect thing due to improper voltage.Thats all I know.Local shops say they cannot get parts, just thought maybe somewhere in the city,worth a shot. Thanks.

I've had a 50" Hitachi projection sitting in my garage for the last 3+ years with the same problem... It goes into protect mode and shuts the HV section off, but the audio still works. I just can't be bothered to get it fixed. (damn thow-away attitude) If anyone wants it, PM me and come and get it.

Does that mean you have to move the Zoo Keeper to get at it?
