If anyone is having lamp problems with the Ektapro 5xxx to 9xxx please read on.

The problems I've had are:

Random lamp flashing while in stand-by.
Constant lamp strobing
Lamp flickering - Non constant brightness.

I've found if you replace C11 (47uf 63v) on the power regulation board, you can solve all of the above.

We have/had 7 Ektapro 5000's, all with the same problem. They all appear to be working fine now.

The circuit diagram looks the same for the 5xxx to the 9xxx.
