Hi Guys
Ive managed to buy an ex-demo I/R Jagd and accourding to the shop it came from it had never been used :haha:
it came with all of the parts I/R mushroom etc and has a bulb in the barrel but it wouldnt flash so
I opened it up and the cable from the RX18 to the socket in the turret for the I/R was missing so I replaced it with one from my stash of cables only to find the flash doesnt flash :crazy:
any idea's ??? the flash is just wired onto the socket for the I/R Lead,
or can i just replace the flash thats there with a new unit ??? (as ive already ordered one from Dave)
and how do I know if it has the I/R emmiter fitted what does it look like ???

Cheers for any help in advance

Pete

Hi Blake,
thats the unit I've ordered but whats the small bulb on the long red and black wire attached to the socket for the I/R Cable ? (Bulb at the bottom of the pic)
Thats the bulb that was in the barrel of my jagd :)

Cheers
Pete

Thats the kill indicator bulb, when your dead it blinks. cheers Blake.. Note some guys add lights to this section of wire and wrap around the command copula. Also I have been working on a kill effect smoker bu that is another story. Hope the information helps.
