Replace Ceramic Holder for ELC bulb in De Vere 504 Brown Cream Head

[William Robert]

Has anyone opened their De Vere Colour Head (Early 80's)?
I want to replace the ELC 250 watt Ceramic Bulb Holder.
How do you gain access to the wiring at the bottom right of the head.
Any advice tips and suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Is this the MKiii or MKiv dichromat? They're fairly easy/ obvious to get into, however, you should contact Odyssey Sales or KHB Photografix and discuss with them before making assumptions & diving in too fast.

Ontario, you could pop in to KHB.

It would be about a 5.5 hour, 500 km (310 mile) drive.
KHB is south of Rochester, NY, after all

Yeah, it would be quicker if we all had autobahn, although the times I was (riding) in a car on the unlimited areas, my buddy was driving 180 kph in a Mercedes turbo diesel, too darn fast for this kid.

That's the easiest one to open up - but if you're not confident in getting the light socket out, I'd strongly recommend asking Odyssey or KHB for advice.
