Repairs
- Electramatic (The Judge): Call them at (612) 781-9588 to inquire about repairs. They are based in the Twin Cities, so I'm happy to take a Judge in for repair if you bring it to a tournament. Judges are heavy, so this could save a fair amount on shipping. Repairs are reasonably priced.
- Anderson systems: Information about repairs is here. I have heard that repairs are reasonably priced.
- Zeecraft: Call them about repairs (contact info). I don't know if repairs are reasonably cheap.
- Novel Electronic Designs (the ones that look like this), will "refurbish" a buzzer system for $60-$100 depending on model. This entails fixing worn-out wires and busted connections, and replacing light bulbs, etc. Their website at buzzersystems.com has the necessary information.
Gautam mentioned that it would be nice to find someone with electronics expertise who could try to fix buzzers that aren't made by manufacturers that offer inexpensive repairs. Does anyone know someone like this?
Sales
- If anyone has a used buzzer system to sell, they should post in this thread.
- If any teams have broken buzzers that they'd rather sell than repair, I'll pay a fair price plus shipping, and I'll get them repaired for cheap sale to other programs.
- It may be worth stockpiling some working buzzers with people who have storage space. Unfortunately, shipping buzzers is too expensive to make a centralized buzzer supply viable at most events, but it might be good to have a handful stowed away across the country for use at big national events (like ACF Nationals) that often end up having a shortage. Does anyone think this is a worthwhile idea?
