Hello the group,
I'm an owner of an Elmo ST-180 Super 8mm sound projector. I've just recovered it from storage with the intent of using it to transfer thousands of feet of 8mm film to DVD, except it seems that the two drive belts inside (shutter fan / take-up reels) have dried out and broken.
Is there someplace or someone I can contact to get replacement belts for this projector?
Thanks for any help you may provide. Can you please post any replies to my e-mail address as well as the group at cbisgeier@juno.com. |

Good morning Craig - sorry about the delay, I finally remembered where I had seen belt material that may work for the Elmo, at least for the reels, don't know about the fan/shutter drive, on my Elmo that's a small V belt. I haven't used the material (yet), or purchased anything from Small Parts. I got lucky, my Elmo had good belts and a carefull CLA got it running again. Solid design and easy to work on.
Let us know how you sorted it out. I suspect there are many others that could use any information you post.

There's a place here in Fullerton, CA called Orvac that has hooked me up with various drive belts. Might be worth a try...
