What options on a DOA KL1 ?

PolishSumgai · Sep 2, 2009

KL1 head (not functional). This was a modded KL1 (old style with cool ribs) that went through the wash. The reflector has lost its surfacing and the electronics are probably fried (it does not work).

What are my options with this head other than sell it in its current condition.

TIA

Do you want to try to fix it? There's nothing in there that should be permanently fried from a washing. You might have to run some freshwater and a toothbrush over the circuit, and get it all dried out. I have a couple with Seoul SSC P4 and Khatod 17 reflectors and they are pretty respectable. Do you know what mods you had?

PM me for a PDF photoguide to KL1 original disassembly.

Ditto on what Louie said.

Since it's been modded, it should be relatively easy to change the board (if needed), upgrade the emitter, and drop a new reflector in there.
