Hunting Down Tekmar 371

MarkBailey · March 17

Hi all,
I have three control panels, a 371 and two 368s, that are about 25ish years old now. One of the 368s broke down and I managed to find a replacement for it. The 371 is no longer working (tried everything to fix it but I suspect one or more capacitors are fried) but I cannot find anything online. Does anyone have any advice on where I can look (aside from Kijiji, eBay, and FB Marketplace which I have scoured several times)? Or where I can post that I am looking (aside from here)?
If not I would be looking at having to replace all 3 controls as well as likely the 14 RTUs they connect to.
Thanks in advance for any help!

I wonder what they mean by fully supported. Can you send it in for a rebuild maybe?

Maybe try Rathe and Associates on LI. Last I visited he had a large stock of older tekmar controls.

" (tried everything to fix it but I suspect one or more capacitors are fried) "

Capacitors are a likely cause of failure or malfunction but it could be something else. A similarly aged unit may soon suffer the same fate. Capacitors are very inexpensive, if they are through hole mounted they are not too hard to replace. Surface mount type are often more difficult and require more specialized equipment to do a quality job. Capacitors can be found at www.digikey.com and www.mouser.com and others.

With a professional repair you will pay a lot more for the labor than the replaced capacitors.
