Is there an adjustment on the feet on the bottom of the Elmo ST-1200HD to make the projector level? I just got a second one and turned the lamp on and projected it onto the screen and it's very unlevel? My other Elmo on the same surface is very even and level.
Any advise on the subject would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
RS

Hi Roger,

It sounds like your machine has been dropped and the feet are bent. (Hopefully the frame isn't bent. I've seen this too.)

If you can get them off you could straighten or replace them if you can find the parts.

(I saw "level" and thought you had an audio problem!)

All I ask is a wide screen and a projector to light her by...

Roger, If the legs are bent, Leon Norris has new ones available. The rear set is no problem, but for the front one you need to remove the back cover to replace it. Maybe somebody has spares?

OK thanks for the advise and I guess I could put a block of wood under the feet to level it? I changed the title so not to confuse everyone!
