Kevin, will that bracket work for ST-1200 (with or without a small modification)?

Hello Winbert

Stefano has purchased this one from me but if I see another I will let you know - you can modify the ST1200 by removing the inching knob and little shaft (keep it safe for future use though) that protrudes from the front right edge of the projector and that way I think a Centaswing bracket or similar will fit.

For the ST1200HD the bracket I used in the 80's was a fixed version that was purposely designed by Dave at Spondon to fit without the need to remove the inching knob. I may have a picture of one somewhere.

I am not sure if it is you or someone else mentioned it, do you know if Elmo 16CL bracket can been modified to fit ST-1200/GS-1200?

If it was you, can you send a picture how you do that please.

thanks

I gave up on that project Winbert it would have needed drill holes and an additional bracket to work, best to keep them for the 16mm machines they are designed for.
