I just relocated my Elmo FP-C super 8 dual projector after it being misplaced for about 20 years. Ready to view about 1200 ft of family film, but, the lamp cover is missing, and I believe it is necessary to direct the flow of the cooling fan air. I think I'll have to fabricate one, but the only pics I can find show it installed. Would anyone be able to post pics showing all aspects of it? I think I can work out the measurements from any pics and my projector. Thanks for any help!

Welcome to the forum Don!

I have a lamp cover off a FP-C if your lamp socket looks like this:

The cover looks like this:

You can try and make one or I'll sell you this one for $15 +shipping.

PM me if interested.

HI: Does this part do the trick? Lamp cover from an Elmo FP-A

Actually the FPC has a different latch at the top then is on the FPA. I'm sure it could be modified to fit the FPC. Don bought the one I had from my FPC so he should be set to go now.
