Automated Fixtures Mac 600 Socket Problem

[dyarb]

Hello everyone, I have a Mac 600 that had a lamp error, usually meaning a bad lamp, that I went to change and noticed that the ceramic plug on the fixture has cracked fried and broken. I found a great website that you can order individual parts from, but saw a couple of listings for lamp sockets and wanted to make sure I get the correct one. I have been looking for an exploded diagram, however it seems that Martin keeps those pretty hidden. If anyone has any information on this please let me know. I am out of warranty and have done this sort of repair on other fixtures.

Martin shows two part numbers listed for the sockets:

PN 05221201 socket, MSR575, GX 9.5- MAC 600E NT, MAC600E, MAC500
PN 05221202 socket, MSR575, GX 9.5- not sure what this one is...

This is just the socket itself, not the whole lamp burner assembly...

I'm not sure what your background is, but I strongly recommend you have a qualified repair tech make any repairs relating to the lamp / high voltage operation of the fixture...

Have you tried calling Martin directly? If you have your model and serial number on hand I'm sure they will be able to get you the correct part number, if not order it for you.

Calling the manufacturer is where I'd start.
