Potential purchase of this projector. Thoughts? Good, bad, or otherwise? Thanks!

The Elmo ST-100 Traveller was one of Elmo's last regular projectors, it was originally sold with a camera. It is very similar to the ST-180 but does not have a VU meter or balance track provision.

I have an ST-180, and the similar ST-600, and they are great projectors. Here are details, but you will need to translate from the Dutch.

Thanks for the info. I can get it for around $100USD. Does that seem like a decent price?

Seems reasonable but make sure you have a demonstration before you buy.

I’ll ask the seller if he can record a video of the projector in action.

I’ve bought films from him before at a fair price. He answered my questions truthfully and even previewed one before I bought it to be certain of its condition. Films were packaged meticulously. I’m assuming he is as picky and truthful about his projectors as he is about his films. Of course, one should not assume anything because that makes an ASS out of U and ME. 🤣

That's the one. Can you guess who bought it?

[Maurice Leakey]

Not difficult to guess! Good luck.

Should be here Wednesday, which happens to be my "Friday" (I work unconventional days/hours). Can't wait to give it a test run!
