As Martin says Odyssey are very helpful, contact them and ask who the US importer is.

Thanks Ian,
I did contact KHB in Canada. He was very helpful. The cost of a refurbished Transtab is about $1100US and the new, equivalent replacement is $1300US.
I have stripped down the head and found that the current reduction board going to the "shutter" is also dead. My game plan is to run 250 watt 120V EHN bulbs and replace the board to the shutter with a small 24v DVC transformer. The fans run on 120 VAC. The 8 pin plug had lamp/shutter voltage on the top 4 pins and fan voltage on the 4 lower pins. The Devere control Box puts out 120 VAC on all 8 all 8 pins. So it will be "Plug 'n' Play"!
This will get the head operational while I decide whether to convert to LED's. If I don't convert to LED's then I may source and appropriate 24VDC regulated transformer.
Cheers,
Geary
