Kev, Thanks. I emailed the seller and he replied as follows..the shipping is quoted to the UK but it is a 110V model

"Hello Tony and thank you for your inquiry. The lens is F:1.1 12.5 ~25mm. According to the plate on the back of the projector it is 115v. I do not know if it would work at 220v. The Shipping estimate I received from the US Post Office was $95.75 Economy (4-6 Weeks) $167.00 Airmail (4-10)Days. Please let me know if I can be of further assistance. Thanks, Bryan"

Tony it would say 110 -240V on the back plate if it was a multi voltage unit. I think it would be better to let it go. Kev.

Well, it got sold to guess who?....smokeypt.

I can see a GS-1200 for sale on Ebay with a broken adjustable feet but with a 1.0 lens!

Ronnie, dont worry about the adjustable feet. They do break off if a foot gets knocked against a table edge etc. The centre fixing shaft of the foot is plastic and can be drilled out and fixed with a small nut and bolt or replaced with a fixed rubber foot etc.
If its a good price etc dont let that broken foot put you off. [Smile]
