JohnMac Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 Hi folks, I have a Mac 500E, in which the Schiederwerk EVG 5 Ballast has died. Does anybody know if these can be repaired or will I simply have to swallow hard, (cost a lotta) :blink: and purchase anew. Many thanks Regards John Mac.

JohnMac Posted September 15, 2011 Author Share Posted September 15, 2011 For any one interested Repair is possible circa £300,+VAT. Schiederwerk most helpful, but EBay turned trumps at under £300.So decided to have brand new, rather the refurbish.Thank you Brian for the link. Regards John Mac.

jamieshurlock Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 HiBrian is right, Dik Welland is very, very good at repairing anything electronic and one of my mentors from my days as a vari*lite tech so it is worth looking at The lighting hospital and he guarantees his repairs. For the second hand value of a mac 500 though I would think that price is a bit high to shell out for it to be worthwhile... Magnetic ballasts would be easier as I have secondhand ones spare and can get new at good prices but electronic ones is where the price goes up - you might be better off getting a repair and I reckon it would be cheaper too...
