Gian,
I was curious myself, so I tossed the text into Google Translator:
"Movie projector Elmo GS-1200
First-class movie projector format Super-8 mm films reproducing black-and-white and color, mute and audio (optical and magnetic sound recording system) mono or stereo dwuścieżkowo. Electronic control mechanism of soft-touch "freeze-frame and frame by frame playback, advanced editing features in the recordings, sound mixing, precise control of speed and the ability to synchronize the projection of the video camera shutter speed (the transfer of a DVD) - the most important of the many features of this device.
Projector efficient, interior equipment visually clean and able to "factory", back cover and Footer have repaired cracks slot synchronizer is chipped - everything is seen from the attached photos. Mechanical bits and pieces do not have any impact on the quality of the projection.
Tested the projector with color film, sound and film test SMTP. Projection is implemented correctly in the forward and backward. You may want to preserve / adjust the system of the tape to get a steadier picture. On some old tapes the picture is less stable - but it is a feature of this technology yet ...
Projector join the original cover. Not included the spool, the cable and instructions. Fits standard cable eg from a computer scan of the instructions I send mail (English or German), or you can find yourself on the Internet.
Feel free to bid!
Receive a personal preference (Warsaw and surroundings). Weight approximately 20 kg. The cost of shipping only insured courier DPD - about 50, - zł."
There you have it, in fine GooglEnglish
So, a few chips and such, no cord. Interesting that he says he actually tested it with SMPTE film; first person I have ever seen mentioning this in a sales ad. However, there may be a gate issue as he says something about stability depending on the film involved....
Claus.

Claus, great job once again. I'm too lazy for this eh eh eh . We should ask Mr. Kevin Faulkner what he thinks about it. But here in Europe the price is absolutely good.
As Alexander stated in another thread referring to the GS he bought in Argentina, it's really hard to get one for less than 1.000/1.200 euro, here.
Yes, miracles are possible (I had both mine for less than 600), but it's quite hard, and I had to wait so longtime before getting the first GS at a decent price.
Moreover, on the other side, we don't have to undervalue a GS, nowadays, is really much cheaper compared to prices of 8/10 years ago. And it's today a little bit more easier to find it (maybe thanks to Ebay too). Once again, some years ago it seemed all of them were totally disappeared!
