Faulty AMB Transponder, needs new wire.

Where in the UK can I get my AMB transponder rewired ? Does anyone have a contact for Rob Nelson ? is there a UK website ?


Thanks
Raymond

Here's one we rewired in a bit of a rush on a club night. You could do a better job if you take your time over it.

I found the hardest part was removing the resin they use, A dremel works well with the right reaming/filing tool and a small tip solder iron to melt it a little.

I then replaced the whole case with the carbon fiber look and filled it with shoe goo, silicone will work as well.

I then printed out the number on a label maker and stuck the number on the sides and front then covered those with shoe goo.

Its never missed a beat and I lengthened the wires in the process

There is no hole for the LED so that had to be drilled and protected with SG



Id do it for you but Im sure you can find someone locally

Thanks for the info. It kinda surprises me if BBK don't in actual fact offer a repair service, surely these things are too expensive just to replace because of a faulty wire, the condition otherwise is perfect considering how long I've had it. I'll wait till I hear from BBK until I decide to open it up myself, don't fancy breaking through the resin though. Might try and get away with doing a resolder on the middle of the wire and see if that helps.

Hi mate, just had a go at fixing mine, the wire was damaged just inside the expoxy. I used a soldering iron to soften the epoxy a little at a time and craft knife to cut it away (it goes quite soft after heating it up) I then used some silicone to reseal,
