Yes, those were his first design. I think Larry had one of those go
bad and Buff did a repair on it. Not sure what the cost was. I had
four of the White Lightning 1200 monolights and really liked them, but
they went along with of all my Mamiya MF stuff when my ex sold them
before I could get them moved out of the house. Got Alien Bees now and
they're great.

John -
Did you have the original Buff slaves or the newer ones? They weren't
happy with the original ones and had a recall and an upgrade offer to go
with the newer models. You might check that out with them. The older
models were purchased off the shelf from somewhere in the Far East. The
newer ones have circuitry designed by the Paul C Buff people and are
much more reliable.
I've had the Cybersyncs for less than a month, so they're probably the
newer model.
The White Lightnings I have are a much older design about the size of
a gallon paint can.

I understand if you have these older units and they ever become
unrepairable, you can trade them in to Paul C. Buff and order new
White Lightnings at a substantial discount.
But they're built like a tank, so I don't really expect to go that
route. They'll probably outlive me.
