I NEED MICROSCOPE HELP,ELEC. REPAIR*****problem solved*****

DOES ANYONE KNOW WHERE I CAN TAKE MY MICROSCOPE FOR REPAIR(ELECTRICAL-LIGHT).LOS ANGELES-SAN GABRIEL VALLEY.

ANY SUGGESTIONS WELCOMED.

THANKS,

SOMEONE SUGGESTED THAT I SHOULD TAKE THE SCOPE TO A TV REPAIRMAN. AFTER ABOUT 20 CALLS TO MEDICAL EQUIPMENT REPAIR PEOPLE AND GETTING THE RUN AROUND, I FOUND TV GUY WHO SAID HE'D LOOK AT IT.
AFTER 4 HOURS OF TROUBLESHOOTING, HE FOUND THAT THE TRANSFORMER THAT FED ELECTRICITY TO THAT SPECIFIC LIGHT WAS BAD.
I WOULDN'T OF FOUND THAT IN A MILLION YEARS.
WHOM EVER SUGG. TO FIND A TV REPAIRMAN, I OWE YOU ONE!!!!!!!BIG TIME!!!!!!

  • THAT'S MY PROBLEM. THE BULB AND FUSE WORK FINE. I THINK THE SWITCH THAT IS INTERNAL TO THE SCOPE ITSELF IS BAD.

    Um...this may sound crazy but....why do you not just change the switch?

    Can't be but two to 4 wires maybe...

    Or you could send it to me and when I am done with it, I'll send it back...promise.image

    That how to get high grade coins! They have to pass the Buford Microscope test! Look for pops to stabilize until a new light source can be rigged up image
  • CARL,

    I'M SHOCKED THAT YOU WOULD SUGGEST ANYTHING LIKE THAT.

    'GUESS THE SECRETS OUT.

  • Hey, If you take your time you can repair/replace the switch yourself.
    I took mine apart and repaired the switch and it took about 2 hours and mine is a 45 year old binocular dinosaur.
