I've never seen those handles over the focussing knob before.

Wow, $5k US! That's higher than I would've thought.

Neat idea fitting a side cover handle over the focusing knob the projectors look as if they are in good condition and at $5000 US the seller did well.

Out here a few weeks ago a standard GS1200 in mint condition went for about $100 about 40 pound on a local web site [Roll Eyes]

The market for GS1200 Xenons have gone down a little bit but they still hover around $2500 for one in good condition.

The pics show a different focussing mechanism/holder on those machines. I wonder if they have been changed or if that is how they came from Elmo Japan. I have the service manuals for the GS covering the late std machines and also the xenons but there is nothing like that shown.

Was I wrong to assume that it was user-modified to keep prying or accident-prone fingers away from bumping the focus?

...Apparently they've been modified with a 'fine focus' adjustment!
