Thanks Ugo,

The machine is in Indonesia, while I am now in Canada. I can only enjoy it through the series of photo taken by my brother... [Big Grin]

Winbert, I gave a look to the photos of your ugly GS. I think will be impossible to save the serigraphies...

If I need to sand-paper completely the original paint then I have to think if there is such way to put the writing back into the machine after re-paint it.

At this time what I can think is to take the zoom photo of that writing, print it and cut the writing in small pieces. It will be glued back to the machine after completely getting re-painted. I will give a finish with transparent colour (spraying), so it is like to laminate the paint and protect the print paper from getting peeled of. What do you think?

cheers,

The 're-manufacture' Elmo is the one for me, Ugo. Even if it is months ahead. I love the idea that you are to strip it right down in electronic and mechanical components. To be as near new as possible and with improvements also. Two-bladed shutter, etc. And a custom paint-job to mark it out as something different? I don't think I need a xenon actually, the halogen model would be great with a two blade shutter. Latest version possible. I am definitely a customer, Ugo! I understand it will not be cheap. But if it really is 'as good as new' and better spec too I would very much like to be the owner of 001...

It's way...but you have to glue a paper of the same dimension of the face where the writing is, otherwise you will have thin steps around the writing...
Other way is to print the writing by a pad printing machine.

Hi Gian,
You're welcome once again.
Are they still $200? Or has the price gone up?

BTW will you be in London for the BFCC? I'm heading over again this year - hope to meet more of the European collectors (met a bunch of guys last year!)

Hello Steven, how are you?
The update price is $230. Still very good, so. And I confirm they are VERY friendly and kind.

I'm planning to be at the BFCC. So there will probably the possibility to meet personally there.

Take care. Ciao.
