Absolutely beautiful. 750W and portable (well, 'transportable' anyway [Wink]

)

Someone will get themselves a killer machine if they can foot the bill.

What a superb machine. I would simply love it. A bit pricey for some of us, I guess, but probably worth every penny.

(Could use a 'sad' Graemlin here!)

Valves and celluloid - a great combination!

Hi Steven,

What do you reckon a 16mm Xenon machine like that is worth?

Being a 16mm Xenon Elmo suitable for theatre use, I thought it would probably cost the earth anyway. - Must be pretty rare, too.

Thanks,

Something is only worth what a potential puchaser is willing to pay.

Absolutely!

Let's see what it does make - if it sells at all.

I reckon you can count on this being relisted at a much lower price.

Still....you never know!!!

You`d have to be off your tits to pay that much when you can get a decent ordinary elmo 16mm for $50 easily in the US and a CL xenon for not too bad etc.
I`d guess around $1000 or less would be the mark possibly.

Id love that machine but the cost of shipping that to the UK would make it a very expensive deal....shame [Frown]

And of course it will be 110V so getting a step down transformer for that lot would also add to the expense.

Think I'll keep my eyes open for a Xenon CL in Europe.

GS1200 Xenon with Elmo 1.0...great combo along with a 16-CL Xenon for that super bright white light.

Kevin,

Maybe you might be interested in this:

I recently contacted them and they had just one of the Xenons left. These are very low priced but, they may be in need of some attention. From what I could gather they haven't been used in some time.
