ZP3 Dead After Tubes Flashing
03/01/23 at 18:07:12

As the title says my ZP3 shows no signs of power after I noticed some heavy flickering from the voltage regulator and rectifier a couple days ago. I immediately turned it off once I noticed. I tried replacing the both tubes with known working tubes. I even replaced all the other tubes as well just to sure. I verified the power cord and outlet are working. There is no glow from any of the tubes.
I would appreciate any advice.
If I do need to send it in, does anybody know if their service wait times are as crazily long as a new order?
Thanks
Sean

You don’t happen to live in Butler, PA, do you? Screen name rings a bell, I think I bought my Mofi table from you.
