My Eurolite Goboflower II has stopped producing light...(which is a farily prominent shortfall, considering its a lighting effect)... I've tried it with a few spare bulbs and still no light, although the motors whirr away happily and the sound to light circuitry works.

So I suspect that its the transformer for the bulb.

Anyone know where I can send it to get replaced, or a place that I can get a compatible transformer from. I've tried a certain mail-order electronics place beginning with M (which I shall not name, as they sell a tiny range of DJ equipment, albeit at none too special prices)

Gary get in touch with chris as he will probably know where to get one!!

Yes it sounds like the transformer but as im not familiar with that effect i dont know if it has 2 transformers in it!!

Best as i said get in touch with chris or send it to him and he probably be able to fix/repair it for u at a resonable charge

Cheers

Sounds to me like the transformer is buggered (Nothern Engineering term for "Broken!").

BUt before you condemn it, or throw it in my direction consider:-

(1) Checking that there isn't more than 1 fuse - some effects have two fuses - one for motor and one for Transformer (light)

(2) Check all wiring around the TX, especially where it connects into a fuseholder, or transfomer tag. Transformers usually use solid core wire which weakens near to joints / terminals and breaks - rare but it does happen

(3) Consider the possibility that it may be the lampholder, Wiggle the lamp to make sure that the contacts hold it securely, if its very loose then it may just be the lampholder that needs replacement.

Other than looking at it, thats all the D-I-Y suggestions I can offer!

Chris and whilst your at it, can I have a price on TRFX for a NJD Rap 100, just came in today, haven't had time to check it fully, but I'm sure thats the problem
