The Projector


Here we have one of the best made and famous of Cine names to have dominated the Cine world – Elmo. Anyone looking at this machine who knows anything about cine will know this is a high pedigree projector to own. The specifications, features and build quality makes it an ideal machine to project all those special films in stereo or dual track.


This particular example is the GS-800, a high end machine Elmo made. It came in various versions but this excellent example has the high output 100W lamp fitted and is fitted with the f1.3 - 15-25mm lens

Built to last with solid Japanese engineering and high quality parts. This projector was dominant in the 1980’s because of its quality and reputation. Its die cast body makes for a very professional and well-made machine. And the sleek styling holds up even today as a well thought-out piece of media equipment for the semi-pro and amateur cine enthusiast. 


Elmo put a great deal of thought into the electronics of this superior machine.  Magnetic reproduction is where this projector is very good. Stable and clear sound. Mono, Duo and Stereo are all catered for here. High Quality Dynamic Sound range and wide frequency response make for excellent fidelity for a projector.  The high frequency output these machines could re-produce is amazing with 75Hz-12,000 KHz at 24fps and 10,000 KHz at 18fps. This greatly enhances your listening pleasure. With the high power external speak output also assists in that big cinema feel!

You have an array of recording selection buttons that allows for a very versatile set-up.


These are just some of the benefits of this famous and sort after Cine Projector, please see technical specification below.


This model is in good cosmetic condition (see pictures above) mechanically and electronically it is in perfect working order and comes with our five point quality control and 6 month guarantee from date of purchase. Guarantee card with terms & conditions supplied with machine.

So if you want BIG picture and STUNNING sound, the Elmo GS-800 Stereo projector will give you the perfect cinema experience  particularly if you choose our FREE external speaker option!

 

For the cine connoisseur, the personal history of this particular projector


This fine example came to us from a ONE OWNER ONLY household. Not a hobbyist, as they tend to use their machine a great deal and run up high mileage! The person that owned this GS-800 only wanted a high end quality machine for the very occasional screening of their sound home movies. We could see straight away that this machine was special. It's in MINT CONDITION. Take a close look at the pictures. Everything is superb. The box is excellent, all the polystyrene inserts are there and perfect, the projector is in MINT CONDITION and it comes with the original power cable and Elmo 800ft spool. We have checked it over and it is in the best condition possible. Whoever buys this projector should be very pleased as we have not seen one like this for quite some time.....
