LED FLASHTUBE KIT FOR MODELS |
|
|
Finally, now available, a new LED kit to replace your old flashtube. This was four years in the making. Contains all the parts necessary to replace your old, dim, or non-working neon flashtube. This LED has a bright white flash. You can click on the directions link to see how to install the kit. Click on any picture to enlarge it. The 680 is a special case. The LED kit will work, but will require a lot of extra work and it will be best to send the 680 center section to me. Call for details.
Option 1: Option 2: Option 3: Call me to set up Option 2 or 3.

Original Sun Flashtube - $125.00 |
|
Sun flashtube in good working order. Has been tested in a Sun distributor machine. Works in all Sun testers. Does not work in Allen, Marquette, Snap-on, etc. If you want a spare flashtube or yours is just dim and you want to brighten things up, this is the way to go. Now here is the IMPORTANT thing to read: if you have a non-working flashtube, this flashtube MAY NOT fix it. You might need a capacitor kit upgrade or you could have other problems. If you are unsure, I would install my LED kit. That eliminates 99% of things that cause a flashtube to fail. The one in picture may not be the one you get, but it will be a tested and working flashtube. | ||
 |
Idler Wheel Kit - $115.00 |
|
New and Improved. This is a new idler wheel kit for a Sun distributor tester machine. It will work in any Sun distributor tester regardless of age. The new idler wheel and bearing kit has been developed to be quieter in operation and more reliable in extended service. The tread (width) of the wheel has been increased from 15/32 to 9/16 of an inch. With age, the original Sun idler wheels harden and become very noisy. They also develop flat spots from not returning the RPM back to zero when shutting off the machine. If your machine is very noisy or thumps when running, this kit will cure those problems. The kit contains one idler wheel, two washers, one spacer and two bearings for the idler fork assembly. It takes half an hour to complete the installation. On some 1950's models you may have to reuse the original bolt. Color of wheel may change from time to time.

Capacitor kit - Models 400, 404, 500, 504, 600, 680, and the gray military tester - $40.00 |
|
A kit containing six capacitors, one resistor and two diodes and other miscellaneous parts to update some of the electronics on your tester. Sun produced these models from the late 1950's and on up into the 70's, so after that amount of time a tester could use an upgrade. This kit is easy to install with basic soldering skills.
| ||
 |
Capacitor kit-Model MDT, MD-50 & SDT - $45.00 |
|
A kit containing seven capacitors, two diodes and other miscellaneous parts to update some of the electronics on your tester. Sun started producing MDT's & SDT's distributor testers in the 1940's and on up into the 50's, so it's time for an upgrade. This kit is easy to install with basic soldering skills.

Degree Ring Roller Rubber Kit - $10.00 |

Battery Replacement Circuit Board - $195.00 |

After installation, the rpm and dwell meters will need to be adjusted. It would be best to send me your rpm/dwell unit. I will remove the old batteries and holders, mount the new circuit board and make some electronic upgrades with diodes & capacitors. I will also adjust the meters, using one of my machines. The new circuit board gets power from your tester's power supply unit. You will need one of my capacitor kits installed to free up two wires to power the circuit board. Your rpm and dwell meters need to be in working order for this kit to work properly. | ||
