The transformer was completely removed from the base and tested. It is history.Choronzon wrote:If the transformer is internally shorted, the entire base is a write off.

Thanks for the offer Saul it is appreciated. I was told my Nikon that only the Optiphot 1 and Optiphot-POL used this particular transformer.Saul wrote:Hi James,
I have electrical "leftovers" from the Labophot (transformer, rect. bridge, transistor, pot, wiring, not sure regarding board). If you still interested, I can ship it to you. Nothing is tested, came from the ebay purchase, "as it is"
One thing I 'really' need is the CAP that holds the fuse in the Optiphot base. I don't know what models use this particular type of a cap. If you have one of those I would love it have it.Saul wrote:Hi James,

I like that idea. Strangely enough I was just asking a couple of people I know how exactly to accomplish that.ChrisR wrote:I can understand liking the bulb, even if the heat may be undesirable.
How about finding an external DC 12V 100W supply (ebay 12V 120W about $20) and suitable separate dimmer? (dimmer eg?? ebay 162008875542 $5 wireless)
That would be super if it is the same. How much are you asking for it? Wouldn't it be expensive to ship to the USA? The reason I mentioned that is I was going to ship two small LED's placed in a shipping envelope to John who lives in the UK and the USPO wanted $92.00.fpelectronica wrote:I have this one.
