Hi Tom,
I think the cost is £40.00 GBP with shipping on top. They are of a superior design to the original Elmo units and yes they can be replaced by the user.
It's great to have people like Tom looking into this sort of thing for us and I would like to give him a big thank you on the forum here. It's people like this that we should be supporting as its these spares which will help to keep our machines running.
Righy guys if you needed GS spares what would they be and that is not including the plastic guides. Kev.

Tom -- I am heeding the call. Please send me info on how to buy any new Elmo parts (besides belts -- that's about the only thing we can get in the states) you have. I want to buy the 24fps clutch immediately. Please include instructions on how to replace if you have them.

If you want -- you can email me directly to chris_cottrill@yahoo.com or leave a message with address and total price including shipping to Ohio (USA) on this forum.

Kevin, I think I'd say the motor for the GS-1200 is the most important part.
