Astron Power Supply Failure

Post by Jim1348 »

I am not sure if this is the correct sub-forum, but I bought a new Astron power supply almost a year ago, but now it does not power up. Does anybody happen to know if Astron is good about supporting their products? I looked at their webpage and I did find much there.

In the past they have been great to deal with. Just give them a call and see what they say.

Jim,

I got a regulator board from them a while back with no problem, although I had
misdiagnosed the problem and it turned out to be the pass transistors. I got the
transistors from a supply house, also with no problem. Good thing is that Astron
DOES back up their stuff, and their part numbers are not proprietary so you can
find parts almost anywhere.
