He also thinks he may have the correct power adapter for the Bauer T1S!
I'm gonna go sit by the mailbox now and wait ...

You got that right Pat!

Be sure to feed it with film often or it will start to whine. Don't beatup the postman if he does not deliver on eta. I know I feel that way sometime ![[Smile]](smile.gif)
Congrats

Well, the rain stopped. Could today be the day? I should probably shower.

Nothing quite like the anticipation of a new projector!

In those immortal words of Ralphie Parker ... "Skunked Again"
Posted by Brian Stearns (Member # 3792) on September 26, 2013, 08:47 PM:
Lol "Skunked Again"
I have used that phrase many times when mailbox empty.
What's the eta???
Posted by Timothy Price (Member # 1832) on September 26, 2013, 10:26 PM:
Juan said it shipped out Monday- So it should hopefully be here tomorrow or Saturday!
Been waiting a looooooooong time for this bad-boy!
Keep ya posted! I'll be slapping up all sorts of baby pics when she arrives!

Still nothing! C'mon Juan! C'mon Juan! Gimme a Juan!
I'm betting if he mailed it Monday like he said, it'll be here tomorrow! (And I'll be out of town! Curses!) ![[Mad]](mad.gif)

Joe, I may be wrong, but I believe Tim is referring to forum member Jon Addams....

The stork seems to have lost its way, perhaps the Elmo is too heavy for it.
Posted by Ferran Gimenez (Member # 1069) on September 29, 2013, 04:50 AM:
Timothy, are you sure it's a stork?...
Posted by Brian Stearns (Member # 3792) on September 29, 2013, 06:43 AM:
If your not home where will the mailperson leave it? I hope it doesn't rain.
Posted by Timothy Price (Member # 1832) on September 29, 2013, 07:57 AM:
Yes Joe, that is correct Jon ( or Juan) Addams. Well the good news is I don't have to worry about not being home if the Elmo shows because it didn't. Hopefully it'll arrive Monday ... Keep ya'll posted!
Posted by Timothy Price (Member # 1832) on October 02, 2013, 10:26 PM:
As some of you may know, our friend and fellow forum member Juan Addams has been struggling with health issues over the last year or so. Well, in spite of his illness Juan donned his Superman cape and sent me my new Elmo.
All I can say is WOW this is one fabulous machine and Juan's refurb is amazing!
Now the real good news ... Juan is feeling much better and assures me he'll be around another 30 years or so (too bad I won't!)
Thanks again Juan and if you're looking for a quality projector check him out on EBay at 8mm Boutique.

Good to know that our fellow forum member is feeling better.
I've seen your video on FB. Very quiet machine and booming sound. What's next ? The HD/MO version ? A GS1200 perhaps ?
Posted by Maurice Leakey (Member # 916) on October 03, 2013, 06:10 AM:
The stork didn't let you down after all, but he'll never have made it if you had bought a GS-1200!
Posted by Douglas Meltzer (Member # 28) on October 03, 2013, 08:52 AM:
Tim,
Congratulations!
Maurice,
Supposing two storks carried the GS-1200 together.... they'd have it on a line, using a strand of creeper, held under the dorsal guiding feathers (Apologies to Monty Python).
