    How Can I get a replacement Optx peripherals?

    Well here goes..

    I have a couple of 12'' Accent Tubes in my rig.. but recently one of them just went off..

    So I thought it was the tubes that went off.. but I tried the fault tubes on one of the working inverters.. and it worked.. so its down to the inverters..

    But throwing out a fully working tube is a little wasteful.. I was wondering if Scan stocks these Optx Inverters?

    Its those transparent ones which the tubes are connected to.. and the inverter connects to the Optx adaptor (and the adaptor to the 4pin molex)

    helo?

    I don't mind paying.. really, as long as its cheaper than a standard new set..

    The tube's off warranty already.. so I cant RMA it either..

    Unfortunately this would not be something which we stock, we only stock the full units. Optx dont list any inverters on their "replacement parts list" either.

    Your best option would be to contact Optx directly -

    Maybe they have RMA'd spares they could send to you.
