Hello everyone
I just wanted to see if could get some help with newly purchased Elmo st-1200, seller stated "just needs new belts" which wasn't a problem the installation looked to be straight forward. I was excited to purchase a projector with larger reel capacity so the first thing i did was open the back just to be equally disappointed by a twisty tie hanging from a spring. It looks like a spring to help engage the fast forward and reverse but I can’t seem to find how it attaches.
I’m hoping one of forum members can take a picture of how it needs to be attached or point me in the right direction.
Thanks for the help

Hi Christopher,

That “twisty tie” is not part of the Elmo 1200 [Wink]

– the spring is but IT IS not installed properly, please look at the picture for the proper placement.

Good luck

Jon
