Hello,
I'm looking for a good condition Elmo ST-1200HD, tested, fully working, please. My projector has one problem too many now and just became a parts machine. Lamp not necessary; I have my own Osram Xenophot. Don't need accessory case either.
Message me with any offers. I can buy from US sellers only, please. Trying to do this on a budget and need to save on shipping.

Sincerely,
Daniel

Hi Daniel,

Steve Osborne often has these for sale, and he checks them over first. (It’s how I got mine.)

Good shipping on something like this is kind of an investment. (Bad shipping is how I got one of MY parts machines!) I guess the only really good way to save is find one locally and pick it up yourself.

Steve, I do hope to find a seller close enough to pick up the item myself. I will pay for good shipping in the US, but from outside the US, I think it would cost twice as much.

I hope you can find a nice one Daniel! These are great machines and my main go-to machine currently(as per my avatar). It has enough bells and whistles to make it interesting as well as so far I have had little issues or maintenance. I just have the magnetic sound one as i didn't see a point for optical in my case. Great machine all around!

I wouldn't ever have the need for optical either. But, I would like to try a long play unit on it one day.

I have available two of these units

1 has problems and could be parts

the other will just need belts.

They are both optical sound equipped - very rare models.

$600.00 plus shipping and you get BOTH units for this price.

It might be more than you want or need - but I have them if interested. I will NOT split them up. They BOTH have to go in the package.

Chip,
Thanks, but I'll pass. I can only afford one and the optical function would go to waste, so I'll let optical projectors go to those who want them.

Daniel,if you haven't found one by late April and if you can come to Cinesea to pick it up, I will sell you one of my machines.

Posted by Daniel Macarone (Member # 5102) on February 12, 2018, 04:10 PM:

Hi Jason, Thank you very much for letting me know. I plan on going, so I'm looking forward to buying one of your projectors and of course meeting you and many film collectors.

Hey, still looking. Anyone happen to have a good, working ST-1200HD Magnetic who can ship from not very far to minimize the chance of damage during shipping? The perfect arrangement would be to bring your machine to CineSea this year to sell it to me. [Wink]

Daniel, I have a good working HD and I'm about 20 minutes away from you. Let me know if you're still interested.

Found a projector now. Thanks everyone who offered to help and thanks for the sale, John.
