1200ft or 360m Daniel.
I have no idea on the price to ship 14kg to Cyprus sorry.
As for "what builds?", I am not sure what you're asking here Daniel but it takes a 150w 15v A1 232 lamp if that helps?

Daniel, you can find more informations here : http://super8data.com/ Click on the projector picture, then on Elmo and finally on the model David is selling. I guess by "builds" you're asking for the weight and or the size. That appears on the super8data page as well.

David's machine is apparently now back for sale. sadly no takers from the enquires so far it would seem.

Here is the link, hopefully this time fingers crossed;

Alan makes a very valid point David regarding the timing aspect, and for those of us who participate in the hobby all year around, we have no doubt more machines than our overfilled houses can take already. Any more for me and I'm in my neighbours loft! [Big Grin]

Is this typing error or the price has increased to become GBP 299?

It is totally the seller's prerogative to put any price, just it doesn't make any sense to me when GBP 199 was not sold then the solution is to increase the price.

Winbert, you would be surprised. A Belgian handicraft chocolate maker didn't attract any interest the first day on a food fair in Brussels. He decided the second day to increase the prices and then bingo. Customers regarded his chocolates as a valuable product ("if it's expensive there must be a reason"). Maybe people found there would be a trick with a projector sold 200 £ if they see it usually at a higher price ("if it's cheap there must be a reason"). We'll never know.

My new Elmo arrived today, thank so much Mr. Guest. Was running very smoothly and was delighted with the extras like the W.C. Fields Hurry, Hurry (got it on 16mm, but always nice to have a Super 8 and it was in very good condition) and was extremely happy to see brush in the kit :-) Been wanting a couple of those, now I finally have two brand new ones and a slightly dirty used one (can one clean them with anything? It's grimey, so I guess must be something powerful)

Thanks again, hope this is the last ST-1200 I need :-) One at Mr. Parson's for repair now, two more to fix later
