Fisher 500C stereo beacon coil source

[asech]

Hello,

I am in process of restoring a Fisher 500C, The coil that controls the stereo beacon light is open.
Can anyone tell where a good source for a replacement?

Thanks in advance,

Andrew

If you mean the relay, probably another parts donor 500C or 800C. Did you check the relay coil with a meter? They don't normally go bad. I would be more prone to check the actual circuit (6gk5 tube and the matrix board) surrounding it including the multiplex. It's very possible that someone got in there and "tweaked" the transformers and coils in the multiplex. The relay takes it's instructions from the Multiplex board.
