A few weeks ago I got a second hand v35 enlarger. Beautiful machine. After testing everything seemed to work excellently. Today I finished setting up my dark room and installed the enlarger. First time I switched the lamp on, everything still worked great. tested the autofocus, brilliant! The lamp was on for a total of not more than 5 minutes. One hour later, ... switched the lamp on again, ... nothing. Checked the wall outlet, OK. Put a new lamp in, nothing! Checked the current at the leads on the lamp house, no current! Fuse, OK. Opened the base unit, checked that the switch delivered current, OK. Transformer got current, but nothing came out at the 12 V end! Does this mean that the transformer is broken??? After many years of use, exactly at the time I finished installing a new dark room, the transformer blows??? I feel miserable...!!! Are these transformers still available? Or should I get a replacement transformer? What specifications?
Anybody has any suggestions???
Thanks in advance.
