Yesterday my Chromegatrol (Cat#412-040) failed to turn off the lamp at the end
of its timed interval and has since kept the lamp ON despite everything I have
tried. (Of course, the master POWER switch still turns everything off.) My
questions are: (1) Is this a problem common enough that others have experienced
it and have any user-servicing suggestions as to a solution? (2) What is the
cost of having Omega repair it - if they do any longer, if the fix will last,
if it is "worth it", etc.? (3) Would the use of a regular timer (eg a GraLab
300 or, my favorite, the 400!) introduce a problem as to cooling since the
Chromega II head's fan would not operate between exposures as with the
Chromegatrol?
Thanks!
