Hi, The main motor of my ELMO GS 1200 no longer works. I changed the fuses but it still does not work while the arm engines work well.

Thanks for your answer. The motor is good I tested it. It seems to me that this is an electronic problem, but which? Finally the GS1200 are too delicat because they are full of contacts and electronics. I prefer the ST1200, they are more mechanical. Best regards

I love the GS the way I love a Ferrari: it's a spectacular machine capable of great performance, but the complexity scares me!
(I may own a GS some day...A Ferrari?, I'm thinking "no!")
If Elmo had done a better job on the speed selector on the ST-1200, it would be twice as good as it is!
If you are lucky, some switch or relay has come to the end of its life and if you can identify it and find a replacement , you will be in business again.
-otherwise there is some pretty complex circuitry regulating the motor speed: many opportunities for trouble!

Hi Steve,
I have several spare parts for the GS1200 but I am unable to do the editing. I replaced circuitry regulating the motor speed and the problem has not been resolved. Here in France, in my city, Marseille, it has not more projector repair.
Fortunately I have another GS1200 projector that works very well two ST1200 and 2 GS800.

Hi Steven,
Yes, I know! I have two or three old and new models! But this is not him that causes a problem on my GS1200. There must be more serious about electronics.
