I have an LPRO-101 that won't lock, so popped the cover and started poking around. The lamp was not lit, both physics packages were hot, and there was RF going to the exciter coil. So, I pulled the lamp and swapped it with another unit. The lamp from the good unit lit right up, so my conclusion is a bad lamp. The bad one is clear, the good one is slightly brownish. Anyone have a lamp that they would part with for a reasonable price? ----------------------- Hi Skip I don't know if this would help in your case, but perhaps nothing to lose considering you already have it removed. The following link goes to some notes by Gerald, VK3FGJM, on repairs to the Efratom FRS lamp assembly. Right at the end is a comment in which he explains how he rejuvenated lamps using a hot air gun. _www.n4iqt.com/.../eeratom_model_frs_lamp_assembly_repair.pdf_ (http://www.n4iqt.com/.../eeratom_model_frs_lamp_assembly_repair.pdf) If you do try it I'd be interested to hear how you get on. regards Nigel GM8PZR _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there.
