Hi I just wondered if anyone has a spares Elmo cl they could sell a few bits from please.

My sons first foray into Cine has proved to be a bit of a ( expensive ) dissaster with the CL he bought, and sadly can`t use with its issues.

It needs an Amp, a main belt ( so if anyone has a new one on the shelves for sale they haven`t used be good, its serial number is 88,000-ish ).

Also a front gate as its worn through in one place and going in two others, and also needs new rollers.These are badly misshaped and one sticks very badly often etc but also the metal inners are quite badly worn too so better ones would be a good start.

He has already paid a lot of money for this machine, but its sat there non useable so hoping to get a few bits cheaper, theres no joy from the seller at all as he`s not interested in any redress at all as he needed the money !!! oh well.

Anyway be greatful for any affordable help or suggestions where a spares machine might be or with who etc etc please, UK or wherever.

Many Thanks Mark.

PS an uk new bits suppliers at all ? while I`m on. Thanks.
