Just like the bus - you wait for ages and then two come along in a short space of time.

This one is Magnetic & Optical version. It does not come as often as the magnetic only version.

The Elmo ST-1200 seller's description includes the words "the crack in the glass" and then infers that this is no problem.
I thought the "crack" was intentional as it is a form of heat-shield for the still images.
But, I could be wrong.

You tend to find more of the both optical and mag ones in the uk .

The two piece glass heat shield is usual.

Best Mark.

And it appears to be one of the oldest ever made for the st1200 series. Based on the blue-ish tint to the main design. I believe it would be “Honeywell-Elmo” And sometime after that they dropped the name Honeywell as the projectors improved overtime .
