I recently bought an ELMO ST 600 Super 8 projector on Craigslist. I ot it opened today. It runs (motor sounds good) but nothing would turn. The drive belt is broken and the take-up arm below is broken. This is more repair work than I believe I am capable of. Is there someone I can send the projector to that could fix it? Any idea how much it would cost to have this work done?

Thanks everyone,
Matthew

Matthew, can you post some pictures of the inside and outside of the projector?

Richard Patchett repairs projectors. If you click the Film/Equipment button at the top of the page, his info is on there.

Hello Richard,

I have a couple of arms for that projector and I also have other Elmo parts. Please let me know if you receive the projector for repair and need the arm.

Regards

Jon
