Antonis, I've been around Elmo 16mm projectors for quite a while. Both are great machines, very kind to film. It's more or less the same projector, only the loading system differs. The CL is a little bit more compact and, of course, a real dream to load and unload. The AL offers reverse projection (but do you really need it?). Sales price on the AL should be slightly lower than the one of the CL. I have a really good CL for sale, contact me off site... (jmtoussaint at claranet dot fr)

......to confirm what you said JM, I've had a 16CL (saved from the scrap box of Bham Uni by a friend & given to me for free!!!) for 5 years now and has never let me down-though my 16mm collection is small... see you in...haw many days are left ?

Άτσα Γιαννάκη... Haaaaaaaaaa! Yanni I didn't knew that you already have an Elmo 16CL. The truth is that for a lover of documentaries like you, having a 16mm projector is "must". Now thanks to Jean Marc I have one too. CU in London.
quel dommage! Well, hope you'll console yourself with trying to find some film resources in NY-if you have time of course! Antonh, does this mean I've now got a competitor for 16mm documentaries? I need to get to Ealing before you do

Gian, have you set your mind on something ? I have another pristine 16CL (Deluxe version) in storage... Antonis can vouch for the condition of the material I'm selling. Contact me off site. My email is jmtoussaint at claranet dot fr

Hello Jean-Marc,
what's the Deluxe version of 16-Cl? I'm curious... I own a 16-Cl M+O and a 16-Cl Xenon, but never heard about the Deluxe version...Can you post a picture?

The Deluxe version is based on the M+O machine, with electronic controls (and there's a manual release of the channel at the front of the projector) and a remote.
