Chip,
I remember you posting a topic when you started that repair project, but I can't find it. What repairs did you get done on them?

A general TLC tune up

I ran each machine diagnosing the issue at hand

I made a list of those issues for the tech

Also requested to have it set to original factory specs

I found a good tech near me shipping damage was no risk I delivered and picked up myself

Parts and labor $300.00 per machine

I also included test reels and a printed service manual.

Now I am done ✅ I am very pleased.

Well done Chip! In addition to what you have done, I would recommend changing out the green plastic film guide (the one with the red arrow where you feed the film in) if they are worn down. I replaced mine with a metal guide from Wittner, which does not seem to wear at all.

I was an ST 1200 HD user for many years. In 2014 I decided to upgrade to the next level. Due to the average EBay laws of gravity it took a long time to get here. I am keeping the other machines as I am also a projector collector.
