Einstein Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 (edited) Thought this could be a fun thread to show off the Bills stuff you've collected over the years and other cool Bills stuff you do. I'll start. Random memorabilia including Flutie Flakes, a game-worn John Brown jersey, and a signed Jim Kelly helmet. Not pictured: Signed Josh Allen jersey. And these are my holiday decorations (sometimes people stop by and take photos in front of the giant Go Bills sign). If you have seen the sign, feel free to post your pic from it! I'd realllyyyy like to add a giant lombardi trophy next to it. There are other Bills fans on my street and I love seeing their decorations too. Person for scale: Your turn. I look forward to seeing your collection! Go Bills. Edited October 27, 2022 by Einstein 8 16 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With a gigantic projector of course! The smaller/regular ones don't have the lumens to accomplish the job. This is a large venue projector. Christie DHD775-E with a short throw lens. I created the box and assembled all the wiring. The box, insulation, fans, and warming cables are important - its a delicate act between keeping the enclosure warm enough so that nothing freezes, but not too warm so that anything starts to malfunction. In general, electronics typically like cold more than warmth. You can watch games on the house too.

Einstein Posted October 27, 2022 Author Share Posted October 27, 2022 Just now, The Wiz said: Is that piece of copper meant to be a ferrite for the power cord? That's a good guess but its actually a make-shift temperature probe for a warming cable. When the copper reaches 38 degrees, the sensor triggers the warming cable looped on the lid of the box to turn on. When the copper reaches 50 degrees, it turns back off. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm actually kind of surprised you even need to have the heating because of how much heat the projector can puts off. Thank you. And you're right. The projector puts out so much heat that when it's on, the fans you see mounted on the side of the box have to turn on and pull the heat out or the projector will overheat and turn off. The warming probe and heating cable is for when the projector is off (I never bring it inside as it's 100+ pounds with all the equipment). Here is a video of part of the show. It’ll be better this year, since I’ll be putting reflective material on the house that shows the colors much better. You can see in the video how the colors get washed out when it’s projected on the windows. That won’t happen this year, so the show should be much better and more vivid. This video was actually taken before I worked out some of the issues. Edited October 27, 2022 by Einstein 1 2 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobbRiddick Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 The projector is very cool.

947 Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 I have framed autographed jerseys of Kelly, Bruce, Thurman, & Diggs on my basement walls, I saved room to get Josh eventually. Several other Bills signs decorate my basement. I have a full size Riddell Bills helmet in my office. I got a new white riddell helmet for free when I was coaching football. I have a bunch of the vinyl Bills logo helmet stickers & the stripes from when I coached my son's 2nd & 3rd grade teams, when I of course chose the Bills for our team. Made it into a nice piece of memorabilia. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe Someday Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 My favorite item is a NO Saints Ricky Jackson Pro Set football card from 1990 where the pic on it is of him sacking Kelly and causing a fumble. I got Kelly to sign it when I was at his football camp in probably 1993. I got Jackson to sign it in Canton when Andre got inducted. Fairly certain it is truly 1 of a kind. I am working on collecting autographs of all the Bills hall of famers on the version of mini helmet that they wore when they played. Only need Andre, Bruce and Kelly but I do have a full size helmet signed by Andre. I have 2 game used NFL balls. One from a Bills game on the early 80s and one from a Panthers game from 2004. The latter one was with us in our wedding photo taken on the 50 yard line at the Ralph 8/28/04. 2 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaccof Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 I have a 1971 team ball signed by OJ and Al Cowlings.....I'd attach a pix but can't seem to figure out how to do it. I got it for my 11th Bday - parents gave the ball to a player named Julian Nunamaker who lived across the hall from us in the apartment we lived in, in Williamsville. He brought it to practice and got a slew of signatures. Those two stand out for some reason..... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
