Need Novatron repair in Houston

[photostein]

I have a D1000 power pack which needs looking at.

Any one know of anyone in Houston that can repair Novatron stuff?

Thanks for the help.

IIRC Novatron used to be in Dallas, but they were bought out by Omega Satter and relocated to Maryland or something, including their repair facilities. Shipping a Novatron pack (unless you can fit it into a flat rate box) would be prohibitive.

The other option is one of a number of repair shops (search in the forum, it's come up before) but I'm not sure of one that looks at strobe - most I know only do camera. Novatrons, while I love (and own) them, have always seemed a bit on the archaic side of things compared to the newer packs. I'm still afraid to plug a head in before unplugging the pack and discharging the capacitors!

It's a Husband/Wife company (Margie & David)
Margie organizes everything and David is a Certified Repair Tech. (Speedo - Dynalights - Novatron - Photogenics - etc.....)
I've been using them for 20 years. Average cost is about $100. In fact I've never paid more than $100 until a couple of months ago. And that was a FULLY BLOWN Speedo Pack whereby he had to replace 2 capacitors and clean out the damage, and that only ran me like $120. Repairs generally take about 3-5 Business Days.
