Help. Need Elmo ST1200HD service manual

Post by **James E** » Thu Jul 12, 2007 5:43 am

I've just acquired a beautiful ST1200HD. Natually the belts are all goo. I have the owner's manual but need the service manual in order to ensure that it is up to snuff before putting valuable films through it. If anyone has it in .PDF format or is willing to mail me a copy I would gladly scan it in and convert it to .PDF for everyone to use.
Many thanks,

Yep, get manuals there all the time. But they don't have the Service manual for ST1200HD

Yes I see that now. It was # Elmo GS-1200 service manual
and Elmo ST1200HD owners manual that was on there.

Hope you find it.

Still I wonder if many of the settings and tolerences are simular or the same. Such as pull down etc.....

I have a service manual for the ST-1200 (not the HD), if you like I could scan that this weekend and release it to the 'net.

I think I may have bought it on eBay years ago - it has stamps from Tobin Cinema Systems and in fact some extra hand drawn diagrams for a 7-blade 18 fps telecine shutter and a hand drawn circuit schematic for crystal control for telecine, signed "CHT 1-83"with revisions in pencil "4-84".

If Clive is reading this, tell me if you care if I scan and post those top secret drawings

Actually that would be WAY cool to have. Espcially the modifcations. I've often wondered if there were shutter blade trick that would work w/ 18fps. But I doubt many have done it since 20fps is barely noticable to most. But 24 to 20 fps is certainly noticeable. Hence the 5 bladed shutter. Since most work is now done on computers the telecine speed is nearly irrlevant since it can be corrected for.
The ST 1200 & H &HD all came out not too long after each other. I would bet the service manual for the 1200 is close enough. It would be greatly appriciated. If in the long run it's not I may break down and buy one myself.
Thanks,
