Elmo ST 1200

Hi

can somebody tell me please, which models of this projector had variable (as opposed to different) speed settings?

there seem to be many models called Elmo ST 1200, some with fixed speed settings; others, you could select a fps setting then marginally increase or slow it?

thanks

I might know the answer to this one!

As I recall it, the GS versions, the GS 800 and GS 1200 had variable speed knob settings. Plus and minus 10% I think.

However, the ST models might have an internal pot that adjusts the speed. I however I think I made the mistake of using a metal screwdriver (you'd think I'd know better) and I blew a fuse on the projector.

oh thanks,

i have managed to hacksaw and plier-away parts of the casing which were preventing my Chinon rheostat dropping beneath the 18fps, so 3 blade transfers on my projector are edging ever nearer; but the 1970's Chinon is pretty basic - you can hear the motor speeding up and slowing down fractionally, as it sees fit; ultimately, i need to get GS1200 or a Nizo projector, which maintain a constant speed, once set?

many thanks

The GS-800 should be a bit cheaper, and it has that variable speed option as well.
