WTB: 1-1/2 inch focal length lens for ELMO 16CL

[David Baker]

I am looking for a 1-1/2 inch focal length lens for my ELMO 16CL projector, used would be prefered, and (of course) an affordable price. A good working lens removed from another machine would be fine. Minor cosmetic wear is no problem. I do check Ebay, but really would prefer to buy from within this forum with a member-to-member purchase.
Thank you for assisting.

Hi David,

I have a few and could part with one, but they are definitely not cheap.

Contact me off-list if interested (MichaelCoffin@mccci.com).

They do show up on eBay rarely, and sell for big bucks typically. This is true of all short focal length lenses, but particularly true of Eiki, Elmo and Kodak (there were a lot more B&H lenses made so you can usually get those a lot cheaper). It's all about supply and demand and, unfortunately, there is very little supply.
