One of my 6105s is acting up and I have traced the fault to the little square controller block that the power adapter is attached to. The power adapter is fine and the powerhead is fine. I know because I have 4 6105s to tinker with :). Would anyone happen to have a dead 6105 laying around? Or would know if these parts are available for order?

Nope. There is a little block doohicky that is attached to that power bar. I am starting to suspect that I may have to replace the whole power supply in order to get that little blocky thingy tho. :(

You can order darn near every part imaginable off tunze.com I have done this myself.

Does that have to come all the way from Germany, what's shipping like?

Roger Vitko mentioned to me over at RC that these guys are the Canadian distributors:

... might be worth a look too, I dunno.

I believe you're talking about the little box that you plug the cable to? with the little knob to adjust the speed/voltage to the powerhead?

Yes, that would be the bobble I am looking for :)

so the powersupply does not work or the little box connect to power head?

The power supply/AC adapter works fine. Just the little black box that is attached to the powerhead is busted. The little box that has the white speed knob. Sadly this probably means I'll need a whole new powerhead since the box I'm talking about is fixed to the powerhead itself :(

Kien, I have one of the power supplies that has the litle black thingamajig attached to it. The ppwer supply is dead but I would imagine the little thingamajig still works. You're welcome to it if you want me to send it to you. Only difference is that it is a power supply for a wavebox, not sure if that matters? Also I'm not sure if you would end up having to just buy a new power supply either, I'm not sure of the electronics of all those parts but it sort of looks like the thingamajig is an integral part of the powersupply setup.

Yeah I recall that being part of it. If it's the same as the one on the ends of my 6101 it can open up. I don't remember exactly but I thought it was a very tiny little pcb and a few contacts. I'm hoping it's just a loose connection.
