Hi, all. As you can tell by my title, my reliable sb600 needs a repair, namely after a drop the bulb is gone ( I presume).

Can the bulb be tested out of the unit?

I'm from the UK and nikon spare centre will not supply the bulb, and will only repair the flash sent in.

I'm pretty good with soldering etc and have drained the capacitor, but am at a loss as to where to get my hands on a quality reliable flash bulb for my unit. Preferably from the uk.

Thx all.

There's this on eBay, from Israel & priced in dollars, but it should be OK.

Thanks chris for the fast reply. I've seen a few of those, though mainly from the US.
I really wish I could get one from the UK, don't really like giving my details and address out all over the world lol. Though I appreciate the suggestion.
Any other ideas? thx

A friend of mine who lives in Bristol, is a professional photographer, may have some info for you.

 

His name is john Pierce, Photosport International.  I am sure he is currently on location somewhere, but will return your inquiry eventually.

Mention my name so he won't think your are some scammer.  Dean Crandall
