This is an ELMO ST-180E M Super 8 projector with Magnetic sound. This is probably the best projector of the ELMO line and one of the best choices for telecine video. This machine came in the original box with all of the proper packing, has the original manual and warranty cards, a clear plastic cover to keep dust out, the original ELMO reel, the original hang tag and it even had the original ELMO bulb in it! It is in like new condition. That being said, it is a 40 year old machine so I popped off the back and removed all of the old grease in the unit and reapplied a lithium grease to all of the gears. You can see on the picture of the open projector that the gears have a yellow tint to them, that is the new grease. I have replaced both of the original belts. I have even replaced the original ELMO bulb and put in a brand new one. You get the old bulb for a spare. I have also included 2 fuses in case the fuses ever blow in this unit.

After cleaning, lubricating and adjusting everything, I ran a film with sound through it to make sure that it worked perfectly. This is a like new machine and everything feels like new on this unit. I tested out the amplifier and  headphone outputs and tested the microphone input to be sure that they work perfectly. There is a picture of the movie running to show that it works fine. All controls work exactly as they should.
This unit is an auto loading unit. It worked fine, however, be aware that all ELMO machines like the film trimmed to the rounded shape of the attached film trimmer. You can use a square end film and it should work most of the time but the round end film is easier to thread through an ELMO machine. Just something to keep in mind when using any ELMO machine

This unit is highly desired for telecine video because you can easily adjust the film speed by adjusting potentiometers internally to fine tune and match speed. Below are the manufacturers specs for this unit.

You can tell by the pictures that this machine was barely used. It is in mint condition and has been fully serviced to verify that it is working properly. I have been repairing scientific and test equipment for a living professionally for the military for over 30 years so I do know what I am doing with these machines. I am so confident that the unit works exactly as it should that I will offer a 14 day warranty period. If it breaks during this time I will gladly refund your money.

Unfortunately these are heavy projectors so shipping is expensive. The unit will be packed in the original box with the proper packing and I will put that inside another box with added protection inside that box.The package will be insured. Shipping will be $35 to the US and Canada. I will consider other countries but please ask first.
