Although IM fortunate to live 50 miles away from Irvine Cal. and Astron Corp , they repaired my RS-50M Power Supply today while I waited roughly 45 minutes , for 15 total dollars , I was blown away !! It needed a new driver transistor and on/off switch.
They told be that they do except shipments and it is usually the same charge , the unfortunate part about that is the cost of shipping to and from ,(it just can cost a fortune to ship those heavy monsters) that is why I made the trip during the part of the day that I knew I could make it back and forth in good time and less gas burn. I figured about 10 bucks in gas round trip and the 15.00. = 25.00
Keeping in mind I'd been using this power supply for many years . All's I can say is that they are a fine company and make a fine product. The owner Loren Pochirowski talked to me direct and just told me to bring it on down via Email. I was met by there Tech Fred of 24 years , a very nice gentleman , I was blown away on the size of there company , about 30 total employies busting there asses and getting the job done.
All there newer model PS's have very nice looking lights in the meters now. I was very impressed with the kindness and the quickness of the repair , it would have cost be more then that if I were to have went out and bought the parts on my own. TWO THUMBS UP FOR ASTRON CORP.
