Has anyone out there experienced failures of the PC board in the late model Xetron Lamphouses? When thery die, you lose the ammeter and the hour meter, the pop fuses like they are not there! I have a couple of units out there that have lost these boards twice each now! AC line has been checked and monitored...Xetron has responded with 'We have had no problems like this' and 'double the fuse size' HA HA!!
I believ the power transformer or the bridge is dying... Let me know if you have had simular problems! Thanks!

I have had one fail in recent memory...the transformer was the part that gave it up...the lower bobbin was very noticably blackened...not something a bigger fuse would help! Please note, Xetron boards do not seem to come calibrated on the amp/volt meter...there are trims on the board if you have a good ammeter.Steve
