turbelle driver 7240.27

[adjohan]

My turbelle driver burned out due to leaking electrolytic capacitor near the transformer connector. The transformer connector was then fused to the driver box connector due to the short circuit current and heat. I have yet to figure out to disconnect it without damaging the transformer connector. I'm wondering how much is the replacement driver by itself.

The drivers are no longer made, we have a couple new in stock and a couple used in good working condition. The capacitor contains no electrolyte, it is just tar paper and aluminum foil, this would usually blow open and leave a black tar ooze, most likely some salt water got on the connector and caused the capacitor to short. It may be best to send it in so we can find the root cause, a likely culprit if the driver was mounted somewhere dry is that the cord of the pump has a cut in it and water wicked down into the driver box.

OK. Can you let me know the address where I have to send it? Thanks.
