Hi guys - I've just finished my projector lift to house my HD65 and having found this forum a great source of info whilst designing and building it thought I would post some images of the results.

Sorry about the dodgy sound on the first video - stereo playing in the back ground.
Although I made it all myself I did have access to a workshop - which I used mainly to make the Aluminium supports. The motor I got from ebay and is a window actuator used to open and close inaccessable windows. It's powered with an Apple macbook power pack again from ebay and controlled using a DPDT switch. Linear bearing and steel bar are also from ebay.
Thought this might be of interest to someone trying to do a similar thing.
