He's also selling an anamorphic lens bracket for an extra $100. It says it's for an Elmo GS1200 or ST1200.

Silverwook, if yours is a "__-1200" model then it can take 1200' reels. I know someone modified an ST-800 so it could run them, but I know nothing about film projection so I don't know how difficult it would be.
Now that I think of it, the 1200' length is actually a blessing in disguise. Since it's on two 1200' reels instead of four 600' reels, I'm assuming that theatrical reels 1-3 are on reel 1, and reels 4-6 are on reel 2. If you're not concerned with devaluing the print, you could cut the film at the original reel changes and make six 400' reels.
Thanks for the info. If I can find my take up reel that came with it, I'll know for certain. I had to spool a reel of a troublesome print onto it as it literally kept flying off the original reel.
Another idea I've been considering is finding out if I could get my Elmo built into one of these telecine units I've been seeing on Ebay as of late.
Don't know how the specs compare to Puggo's gear though.
