I picked up a new flasher unit at the Aberdeen show...unfortunately I can't remember who I bought it from. The only reason I needed a new unit was I had taken the one off my M37 to put on a friends M35A2 whose unit had failed.
I put the new unit it on my M37 and when i moved the signal arm the circuit breaker immediately tripped it did this three times. (Put it on the M35A2 and it fried the jumper wire I used to ground it...Obviously unit is faulty.
I am assuming it is a Newstar unit as it has NSN and part number but unlike all the original ones it doesn't show a manufacturer nor have a serial number. (My old one was Swiss controls as was the one on the M35 that had failed.)
Looking around most of the ones you see new are also probably from Newstar so I wonder if this was a one off failure or is there an issue with many of their flasher units. I noted that the terminals were not marked in the rubber inset as the original units were.
