Question

low lumens abt 1000

contrast 600

basic menu no vertical/horizontal adjust of image and no image reverse

Answer 1

I've actually never seen a (front) projector with a TV tuner. Lack of a lamp timer isn't an indication of age. Neither are low contrast, lack of offset and low lumens.  That said, you could be right about the 90s ... but surely there is a name / model number on the projector. Look up the model on the link (the database is extensive but not comprehensive ... so it may not be there) and if there it will give an idea of how old it is. If not search for the model on Google and it may give you an idea.
