I just found this on Ebay:

Elmo ST 800 M-O Super 8 Sound projector VG condition

It is not so often seen on Ebay, so I believe this is rare.

But for the price is sold now ($152), I believe we better to buy ST-1200 MO with bigger reel capacity for a similar price, don't we?

I have both machines and like them both for different reasons. One big plus for ST-800 is the motor is speed regulated so the pitch of the soundtracks is more consistent.

When ST-1200 warms up and gets fully up to speed the sound is richer though. When I'm running something with a lot of music I tend to go with that machine.

I never seen that model before. One that doesn't have all the "bells and whistles" but just the bare minimums of what you need. I like it.
