Hi Does anyone know where I could get my hands on a Rewind/take up motor for my Elmo GS1200, Or is there anyone out there who has a spare? Thanks Colin

Hi Colin sorry to hear you`ve had bad lusk with the machine, but worth the effort I`m sure. Could you maybe get it reconditioned locally or have you probably thought of this. Just a thought but I have heard Buckingham film services can get somethings sorted others can`t. Another good place to try is wittners or kinotecknic in germany, especially wittners, they seem to have good conections. Good luck, have you spoken to kev, he`s the man in our little circle.

Thanks Mark. Yes Kev is with me every step of the way on this one, (probably dreads every phone call). He a been a great help. I have now managed to sort a motor through John White in Middlesex. It is not an original, but a new one that fits fine. It is just a little longer than the original but still fits into the case. The other good thing is that brushes are replacable with this one. I will have to give Kevin a ring tonight to let him know that I have sorted one of my other problems out, so he can stop looking. Thanks again

Very interested as you know Colin, how this works out. If this motor is ok then we now have a replecement take up motor for the GS again guys.
Kev. PS. Phone whenever you like.

Hi John Aall I know at the moment is that it comes from France. As soon as I get the motor, I will have a good look. John did tell me the company name but I have completely forgot what he said. I will ask him next time I speka to him Cheers
