Beseler 8573 VC Controller Repair?

[Just Me]

I read about Andy Falco as a repair source, but both emails and phone numbers listed do not work. Does anyone know if he is still repairing the VC controllers and how to reach him? If not, is there anyone else around who does it? Last resort, can anyone give me a heads up on another VC system for my Beseler enlargers? I have been using graded papers until this year as my stock has finally run out. Never used VC and now I have to learn some new tricks! Thanks.

Ask Richard Ritter. You never know...

Is Beseler no longer offering info on any second party repair service company?
(forgive me if that is common knowledge-getting up to speed here)

One source might be to contact Jeff at Fotocare in New York City...Jeff was my go-to guy for info when I
lived in NY years back. (212) 741-2990 I used to use a company in NYC called "Rhino" (I think) who service my
Profoto Flash and KinoFlo units...they could fix anything!

I just acquired a Beseler 45V XL enlarger as part of a massive darkroom lot purchase
and have this 8573 VC controller too.

I'm looking for a PDF of the manual for the 8573 if anyone has one.

Thanks for the replies. I am checking into all those options suggested. Anyone know where I can find the schematics to these? There is an outfit in Buffalo, NY that will repair if I supply the schematics.

I emailed Beseler and never got a response. Perhaps I need to get over my aversion to telephones (never!)

Checking on whether I have the VXL manual for Crop Duster

Ya mate,
the phone is a good bet...hopefully the guys at Beseler
will help you out.
