Jeg faldt lige over denne på uk.rec. listen.
En lignende tilbagekaldelse (men med udbytning af hele enheden) blev
foretaget af Nikon med deres gamle type blitz.
Er der én repræsentant for Sea & Sea i DK, eller er det på individuelt
dykkercenter / importør basis ?

Sea & Sea Strobes

Sea & Sea Underwater Photography (U.S.A.) Inc., of Carlsbad, Calif., is
recalling about 7,000 underwater camera strobe lights, used as a light
source
for photography to replace the battery cap. If the strobe becomes flooded,
gas
build-up can cause the battery cap to forcefully eject off of the strobe or
cause the front section of the strobe to violently separate from the back
section. Pieces of the strobe can strike the user or others in the vicinity.

The recall includes all model number YS-50 strobes. It also includes all
model
number YS-60 and YS-120 strobes with serial numbers beginning with 96 or 94.
The serial numbers are written inside the plastic housing. They were sold in
yellow, black and orange. Writing on the strobes includes, "Sea & Sea" and
"Japan." Scuba dive centers and photography stores nationwide sold these
strobes from February 1988 through March 1999 for between $500 and $800.

Sea & Sea have received two reports of injury resulting from the strobes.
The
first incident, in the Caribbean, occurred when a repair technician had a
tooth
chipped as he was removing the battery cap. The second incident, in Japan,
caused facial lacerations to a consumer when the strobe unit violently broke
apart.

Consumers should immediately stop using these strobes. Any strobe suspected
of
being flooded, which is indicated when the unit either stops working or is
corroded, should be returned to an authorized repair center for repair. Sea
&
Sea is offering a free replacement battery cap with a vent that prevents the
gas build up within the strobe.

Hej Johnny m. "Z"

Det er Kazuhiko Takegawa der står for Sea & Sea Importen
herhjemme/Skandinavien.
(også bare kaldet Takegawa)

Jeg er dog ikke i tvivl om at der er flere butikker der parallel
importerer...
Men (mere eller mindre) officielt er han importør.

Hans telefon nummer er:
4373 9281

Jeps, jeg er i næsten samme situation, jeg har bare 2 enheder der skal
opgraderes.
Hvordan er du for øvrigt tilfreds med din 60'er ?
Er det med samme lidt flade knapper som de gamle YS50 blitz, eller mere i
retningen af 120'erne ?

Det der skal skiftes er dækslet til batterierne, og slet ikke noget med
opgradering af enheder. Problemet er at der ved vand hos batterierne kan
dannes gasser som muligvis kan give en eksplosion. Det er samme problematik
som med Nikon SB103 blitz som for år tilbage blev ombyttet med SB105 blitz,
grundet samme problem, men der kunne man ikke bare udskifte batteridækslet,
men var grundet opbytning af blitzen nød til at udskifte hele blitzen.
Jeg har selv købt min YS120 blitz i Singapore og fik ombyttet mit dæksel hos
Takagawa. Så prøv at spørge om ombytning af batteridæksler, så forstår han
det.
