Crystal synch sound projectors
How common are crystal synch sound super 8 projectors? I have an Elmo ST 180 but I have no idea whether it's crystal synched or not. How can I tell? My reasons for wanting to know this is to transfer sound films to video.

I know only some Beaulieu 708 EL Stereo models, which were crystal synched. I have some Wittner/Beaulieu brochures from 1997-1999 and there are some telecine versions of Beaulieu projectors with crystal synch.
I have an Elmo GS 1200 synched with Pedro´s beautiful P1008GS-U synch unit ( http://www.super8sync.com/English/P1008GS.html ), and I use it for transferring sound films to video with my WorkPrinter. Works beautifully!
I know no other synched projectors. I have read somewhere that Fumeo had some plans to manufacture some sort of synched versions, but I am not sure they ever did.
