   That is one of the main problems with my POV - there is a *lot*
of light leakage, especially from the "back" carrier slot when you
have no carrier in it. I resorted to taping some cardboard in the
right places to try to block some of that.

   I can't find it either - unfortunately searching on "project" or
"view" (as well as "TDC") gets you a LOT of hits...

  This is a little tiny plug - amazingly small for the wattage it's
supposed to carry. However, on April 15th of '97 George mentioned that
Harry P. made a good suggestion to him on how to handle the replacment
(but he didn't say what it was!). 

There were *very* extended discussions about the same time on what
kind of material to use for a replacement screen...
