Hi Ive just bought an Elmo 16.F projector from an auction site, by the photos the projector is in good shape, the bulb still works and spare reels, is there anything to watch out for about this Elmo . Thanks

Not really.
But I don't like the fact that the lamp has no dim/bright setting.
For my Elmo 16F I have gone to using long-life lamps.

Hi Ive picked up the Elmo projector, it uses halogen bulbs and as i opened up the lamp housing ,there was a spare bulb in its box, the exciter lamp works , still have not found any 16mm movies yet, even came with its instruction booklet ,quite a heavy beast !!

Check fuses for the amp Jonathan, I'm sure this has a separate fuse for this part, replace with the correct rated fuse, these do get a bit crusty if not used even the fuse holder can be difficult to open, be careful not to brake the screw in top part.
