Besides the belt. The motors on these projectors tend to give up life after sitting around. I believe it's the magnets. Who knows, the seller might be tickled pink to sell at any price. It's a gamble for the buyer. Stick with Eumig and Elmo. These guys die hard...

Speaking of Eumig. I just got a 807D with original box, packing, and accessories for 60.00. Including shipping! The unit was hardly used and in like new condition. There are some deals but you really have to keep a sharp eye out.

IMHO, I believe ALL Sankyo (sound) from the 460 all the way to the stereo 800 are superb machines, solidly constructed, great performers and require little maintenance!
Winbert, I am the lucky winner - I bought three other bargains from the same seller previously and none had major issues, including a Sankyo 700 for $39.95 in pristine condition that only needed the motor belt.
