Hi All,
My machine is now on the chopping block and is ready to go. Just making way for a new..er one!
Here is the auction URL:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=7608331084

If any of you lovely members want to take it off my hands I will knock off $100 but do not use the buy it now. I will cancel the auction and we can do a private sale. Trust me when I say this machine is a beauty! And 100% working in every way.

Good luck Alan, sounds a dream machine. I've just bought my second GS 1200 on EBay, you can't have too many of these things can you [Smile]

I'll soon be catching Kevin up [Wink]

As usual, a great ebay presentation by Alan. I have two GS's, but great photo's of this machine, like these, always impress me.

2 x Elmo GS1200's? [Smile]

I would love to keep 2 but I can't afford to! I only have one Super 8 Projector, one Super 8 camera (Leicina Special) and one Single 8 camera (Fujica ZC800).

She's out of my life, She's out of my life,
I don't know whether to laugh or cry, I dont know whether to live or die, but it cuts like a knife, she's out of my life... [Frown]

but into your life comes $1300 and as a softner, you do have another one to cushion the blow. Just remember, as Michael Palin would say "Always look on the bright side of life"

Alan, think of that new GS1200, mint in box, that's coming to live with you.
Do you think it's gonna be house-trained? [Big Grin]

I may have to send it to Obedience school if it starts acting up! You know how those GS's are! I will post pics here of my new "adoption" later this week. I am picking it up tomorrow night! [Smile]

I was interested to see the accessories with this projector, as I've never seen the soft case for the cleaning brushes before. I'd be curious to know if anyone is aware of whether this was always supplied with a new GS?

I've also never see the original box for the demo film! Does anyone know if it was always the same film with all GSs?

Posted by Del Phillipson (Member # 513) on April 11, 2006, 01:49 PM:

how silly of me Jean-Marc, I've only seen the film about 20 times [Confused]

That's it, it's confirmed, I'm finally getting old [Smile]
