I have an LPRO-101 that won't lock, so popped the cover and started poking
around. The lamp was not lit, both physics packages were hot, and there
was
RF going to the exciter coil. So, I pulled the lamp and swapped it with
another unit. The lamp from the good unit lit right up, so my conclusion
is
a bad lamp. The bad one is clear, the good one is slightly brownish.
Anyone have a lamp that they would part with for a reasonable price?

Hi Skip
I don't know if this would help in your case, but perhaps nothing to lose
considering you already have it removed.
The following link goes to some notes by Gerald, VK3FGJM, on repairs to the
Efratom FRS lamp assembly. Right at the end is a comment in which he
explains how he rejuvenated lamps using a hot air gun.

If you do try it I'd be interested to hear how you get on.
