Attention bidders!
The photo of the lamp place is wrong! It is that for the Xenon!!!
In the deutsche description the seller says the lens is the 1.1 and in the english description the lens is the 1.2 25-50. But in one of the photos there is the 1,3 lens!!!
What's happening?

Hi Ugo
Well spotted. I think this guy has just copied my item description for the one I sold on eBay just recently.
I think you have the article number for that one Ugo. Why dont you check my descrition angainst this guys English description. You will see that they are the same word for word

Maybe I should e-mail him and chareg him a few for using my words

Hi Colin,
yes I saw the description was the same: two 1.2 lens in few days was too much strange. But this is not a big guilt because probably he doesn't speack english, so he preferred to copy your description than to write that one new.
I sent a mail to the seller to ask an explanation. I'm waiting for the answer.

Hi Tony,
no, this not thrue [Frown]

I'm buying a lot of Elmo GS, but for my friends only. They know I'm able to refurbish these machines, so they want I buy the projector for them!
In this period I'm waiting for two GS: one from Colin Preston (I serie), and an other one from Mr. Schachner (II serie?).
The first serie is for Eduardo (..a friend of course); the other one is for Christian (...an other friend).
I have a waiting list too!!!!
1) Giovanni
2) Gianni
3) Carlo...
uuuahhhhh.....

Yes, "that" Giovanni is Giovanni Crocè. I met him near Florence during a domestic meeting. Often he calls me at the telephone and viceversa. He's a very nice, kindly and funny friend!

Hi tony!
Yes, I got a psychiatric help two years ago for my obsession, but after three medical visits he bought an Elmo gs1200 from me...
Do you think it was a typical transfert problem? [Big Grin]

Well Ugo, as Keith Wilton's computer went to the big IT department in the sky taking everything with it a couple of months ago, can you do me a favour and ensure Giovanni knows the date of the convention has changed. We're worried he Massimo and Alberto may have been planning to come over again this time.

Sorry for going off topic in this thread everyone.
