My decades-old Whelen supply now flashes only one of two tubes even if I reverse the tube cables - looks like one channel is dead. No longer makes the whining sound when operational, either. Looking to replace with a suitable Whelen supply not made for aviation use but similar energy output.
Any reason a Whelen CPS 660 or 690 wouldn't work? Much cheaper on Ebay than any of the aviation power supplies.

Boyd,
That kind of like the strobe power supplies I use. They are built for the "emergency
vehicle" use (police, fire engines, etc) strobes. They flash my 'Beech Aircraft' strobe
units just fine!! The units are made by "Optimax".

Bill,
Is the strobe that does flash the same one when you reverse the cables? I had a similar problem a couple of years ago and it turned out to be a burned out strobe lamp.

Yes, noticed the problem when I replaced an obviously burned out strobe head - the replacement didn't fix the issue. Swapped cables and verified each strobe head will flash normally, it's a dead channel in the PS, possibly from trying to fire a burned-out strobe head for awhile...
