     Has anyone  out  there  had  any  experiance  with  the
"Tele-Kit"  Projection  TV?  I recently recieved an add from
them, and if they are as good as they seem I may buy one  of
these things.  (I don't think I could resist -- a projection
TV for under about $700.)

     From what I can see they have a good idea -- they use a
12 or 13 inch TV and project that image onto a 45 or 60 inch
screen.  The basic kit is $400,  and you have to  provide  a
TV  to  go  along  with it, but they claim any 12/13 inch TV
will work.  They also seem to have been around a while,  the
literature they sent includes a letter that was published in
the Aug.  1980 Popular Mechanics.

     But I have some questions.

     1) The basic question.  Are they as good as they  seem?
I'm skeptical about anything I can't go look at.

     2) What is involved  in  building  a  cabinet  for  the
thing?   And  is this, (as I am assuming) the only thing not
provided with the basic kit?

     3) Do they compare reasonably with the projection  TV's
you  buy  at  your  local  TV  store,  or am I going to want
better in a couple of years?


				Thanks in advance...

						Sean.
