In has an intermittent issue with not working correct. Unplug and it goes back to working fine
That being said I am selling for parts as I don't know what the issue is and don't have time to mess with.

Those Beseler heads are haunted. I have two that work great and two that do the weird thing described. Lamp sockets get dirty, the photocell gets weird, when working correctly they are the greatest head Beseler made.

Have you ever used the probe? Does the unit behave better with it connected. I have had one of the haunted units for years.

Never fiddled with the probe. I have two working, one setup for color and one for VC. 99% these two work fine. I have two others that are either unreliable or just go nuts. I don't think the probe is a factor.
I did some color printing recently and the machine worked great.

Not sure if we are clogging the above classified ad. I opened a Universal 45 thread if interested. Note: I had some luck with the crazy controller issues by cleaning contacts, and resetting the timers. Also leave it on once its working.

Do people even read. Not sure what about a thread title that says all SOLD is hard to understand. Its epidemic is forums these days of people pulling up dead threads.

I attempted to re-open your thread to try to change the flag to "Sold" and then attempted to re-lock it. The system wouldn't let me. I'll bring this up to Sean, but in the meantime, a reminder that you can mark your thread Sold and then lock it.
