What's the difference between the ELMO ST-600 and ST-180E?
Both have 100 watt lamps, have a 600 foot capacity, and are 2-track. Can both models take a lens that fits a ST-1200 HD?

Thanks

I think as far as I am concerned both projectors are identical. ST 180 is for European market where they use metric system (180m = 600 feet). I don't know if "E" means something different at ST-180 model.

thanks,

The 180 has a more relibale threading set up than the black 600 and the silver 600 and some 180`s do seem to run a little better than the 600`s, but apart from that theres little in it.
Best Mark.

And the lens will fit... [Wink]

Thanks.

I've seen many ST-180Es on eBay lately, and I have been tempted...even though I have an ST-1200 HD. By the way, an ST-1200 HD just sold for less than $200 on eBay. It looked in great condition. I am shocked, since I thought these babies go for $300 and up these days.
