Hi out there!
I was wondering if anyone would be able to give me a few adeas to help sort out my Elmo GS1200. I will explain the problem, best I can.
I have a crackling noise coming through the speakers (sounds like interference). The noise comes and goes, gets louder and quiter (even when both volume knobs are turned to zero). The noise is louder if I turn to optical.
In addition to this, I am worried about my rear arm motor. During normal film playback, the motor is very powerful and I am worried this will damage my films. When in rewind (with the film passing through the projector and the front reel acting as a take up reel), you can stop the spindle with your little finger very easily. If you try the same with the back spindle (when playing forward), there is such force that you just cant stop it spinning. It is acting with the force that the front reel would use when using the yellow rewind switch. Also when in 'Forward' mode, you can hear one of the motors speed up and slow down. A friend told me to try cleaning the switches etc, heads and all to cure the noise, but it has not made any difference.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Another thing to note is that I got this projector from Germany, and I know not to put the lamp on full as it will shorten its life, but I wondered if the extra voltage could be doing this to the projector.
Thanks
