IMO, this is too high... You should be able to get these projectors
closer to the $350 to $400 max, range.  Does the projector have
a good case?  Are the lenses 5" or 4".  IMO, the $500 price tag
is reserved for the 716 with case, 4" lenses and Selectron Carrier.
In the past I have sold beautiful 116 projectors with mint cases
new polarizers, in tested top-notch operating condition, for $350.

I have a small stock of 116 and 716 projectors and accessories
which I will be selling later this year.  I am planning to work on
a book on stereo projection and use these projectors and
accessories for illustrations, etc.  Hopefully I will have this
done by the NSA convention this summer.  I will then sell
all my stereo projection equipment.

Yes, bulbs are still made and a number of people carry them
(Reel 3D, Dalia, etc.)  Dalia carries a halogen bulb too.
A search in ebay by bulb no. might yield the lowest prices 
for bulbs buried in unrelated (not Stereo) categories.
