I have a chance to purchase this camera and after doing some cursory internet research have discovered that this camera's "proprietary" circuit board can break or blow/ overheat- (mainly from this website archives).

 

Questions,questions..questions..

 

1. Whom can fix this and for how much? Can it be fixed in 2012? (I'm seeing a "Ian Love" name, AZ spectrum has a listing in their online catalogue, etc..)- can I fix this myself? Can I by-pass this or cool it down with a fan?

I never had this problem. More critical will be the replacement of the belts. I don't believe Ian Love still does any repairs. The good news is that AZ spectrum can fix all problems with all new electronics. Contact them.

 

2. Is there a schematic I can view online to attempt to build my own DIY board?

This is undoable IMHO since the electronics is very compactly build, almost smd like, and I do not know if there exist any documention of the details "inside". The good new is that AZ Spectrum can do this for you.

 

3. Should I do anything at all? Are there any satisfied GSMO owners who have any advice?

I am a satisfied GSMO owner but you don't wont to know all the problems that I had to solve. Consider you can buy an Aaton for about $1500 that can be serviced with no problems.

 

Much appreciated.

This is a late response, but anyway.. See my comments above.

Ian Love has contacted me and he is currently looking for the part that I am looking for.

I expect that with his help the problem will be solved.

I just received the private E-mail address of Ian Love. Thanks Ayhan !! :)

I sent him an E-mail. I'll keep you informed if everything turns out well.

I have a problem with my CP GSMO. Reading post in this forum suggest I should contact Ian Love at Clairmont camera for any problems on GSMO cameras. However it now appears that Ian Love doesn't work at Clairmont anymore for several weeks. My camera repair man was told so when he called Clairmont last week. To make things worse, "nobody" at Clairmont was able to tell his current address. :( .

Does anybody know about the whereabouts of Ian Love?

Any help is appreciated.
