I have an old (~20 years) "Honeywell Futuramic II Strobonar Electronic
Flash." That part works okay. I also have a ring light attachment for it.
The ring light doesn't work anymore.
The ring has been dormant for several months and I tried using it last
week. It charges, but won't flash. Connecting the two wires on the plug
produces a spark there, but no flash.
I went to my photo store and the guy there just shook his head.
First any idea what is wrong? I suspect the tube's aged out.
Secondly, how can I get it fixed? Where can I get a ring strobe tube?
Is there some company that might be able to fix this guy? How much is this
going to cost?

[] My guess would be that if the tube is not broken it is probably allright. After 20 years it is far more likely that your electronic components have crapped out - most likely the capacitors. Try giving the problem to an electronics guru friend or a good radio/tv repair shop if there is any such thing anymore. -- "It's the thought, if any, that counts!" Dick Grantges hound!rfg
