Hello Everyone,

I recently sold one of my 2 Elmo XP-750 to a gentleman who is now having some issues with the machine's douser. It appears that the douser won't desengage after the the xenon bulb is lit and the film running. So, the net result being that the light does not pass through. I have not personally had that issue prior to shipping the machine. If anyone of you out there has used this elmo model before or has a service manual for it, please let me know what might be the problem.

I can be reached at mnsiku@oar.tamu.edu or 979-458-5218 (office).

Many Thanks,

Remy
