This is probably good news for GS1200 owners who are looking for ESC bulb which currently hard to get, except the one from Fuji Lamp which is normally around $30/each:
http://www.replacementlightbulbs.com/lampesc.html
It is priced $14.95. I don't know about the ingenuity of this bulb compared to Fuji Lamp that has been tested by Bart Smith in the UK. But for that price, I think it is a worth to try.
The owner of this website moreover writes:
quote: This lamp is for super 8 film projection. Due to the special spiral geometry, the specific mirror shape and the mounting position of the filament in the mirror that concentrates light bulb its better suited for the small picture window of a super 8 projector. In 16mm devices this can lead to a "hot spot" in the middle. EJL and ELC lamps are often used in 16mm projection and when you substitute the EJL for the ESC the broader distribution of the EJL light will concentrate less light on the 8mm film leading to a darker image on the screen.
Equipment That Uses This Lamp
Elmo GS-1200, GS1200, Super 8, Single 8, Stereo Sound Projector GS-1200P
So he knows for sure what he is selling there.
Beside, he also puts the Alternate Part Numbers as "Fuji 4214" which this one is the exact Fuji that we have been talking previously.
Anyone in the State is willing to give a try?
cheers,
