It looks cool but it defeats the purpose of such a beautiful machine. No 200 watt lamp...no big projection..!! [Frown]

The Elmo ST180 would be better for that I think. Just my opinion of course!

I also have never seen one of those before. I'm wondering if this is a mod by another company?

I have to agree Alan in that why use a machine such as the GS when an ST600 would probably have worked having said that the GS1200 is probably the only Super8mm Elmo which will run at the correct speed constantly for telecine work.
I would still agree though that this is an overspecked telecine machine.

GS1200 Xenon with Elmo 1.0...great combo along with a 16-CL Xenon for that super bright white light.

This isn't the Elmo TRV I've seen either. The basic TRV in both 8mm and 16mm formats would have a lamp source in the projection lamp position and a CCD pick up where the lamp normall goes. This makes the left/right orientation possible without a mirror or major changes to the electronic scanning of the CCD.

This looks like a regular projector that's been modified with a mirror and CCD pick-up.
