For the reason, that I don´t understand, why the second EHT Quadrupler in my 909 has gone I´m looking for a splitter to replace mine. The Barco-Part-# on it (as well as in the Barco Part-List) is 762718.
Can anyone, favoured in Europe, offer such a component?
I´m located in Berlin, Germany.
Does anyone know the differenced between the splitter-types?
I also habe one from Barco Model Vision 701 (# written on it´s case is 762210 / 5).
For this I have measured, that the filter capacitor is only 3nF, in the 909-splitter it is 6nF.

Hello Helly,

On E-bay Italy is one for sale for 200 euro (plus 40 euro shipping to Germany).

Sorry, but Original Price from Barco for NEW Component is 'only' 489€ + 19% tax, so I won´t pay 500€ for used components.
In the moment is seems to me, that the problem is the components (capacitors and/or diodes) inside the Quad. For this reason, I´m going to rebuild/repair a Quad with capacitors and diodes of higher specification. I think the transformer is not the problem.

Why does shipping from Italy to Germany cost 40€ for a parcel of less than 1kg - will it be dispatched by messenger?

Someone tried to rebuild a quad but it's very difficult (and dangerous).
However ... ebay is a good method for show the stuff worldwide.
Now you know that I have splitter(s) and quad(s).
If you want can write a private message and we could speak about special price for both spares.

I think Barco's pricing is messed up. I'd grab new quads at that price. Previously, I've been quoted as high as 2400 Euros for a 909 quad. That was from a reliable source, not a dealer that jacks their pricing up, so either he was completely misquoted by Barco, or they've reduced their pricing.

Better get them while the price is messed up. Seems way too cheap for overpriced (normally) new 909 replacement parts.
