Then, in a routine post flight, I tried the strobes- no luck. The tail flash
tube looks a little blackened- does anyone know if the wing tip units will
continue to work if the tail tube is dead?

Or, does this sound like a power supply issue?

All of this is getting to sound expensive as well as being a pain- any
advice or commiseration would be appreciated. BTW the plane is a B-55 Baron.

TIA


If you've still got a Grimes power supply installed-unless you've
going to have somebody that's handy with with a soldering iron repair
it-consider switching to a Whelen.

Going the "approved" repair route, getting a Grimes PS repaired can
tend to be pricey and problematic. When a Whelen PS quits (unless
things have changed recently) Whelen will either fix it relatively
inexpensively or will sell you one a new one at a serious discount.

With regard to swapping a Grimes to a Whelen, it's typically a simple
log entry
