I just spoke with Jim down there, and he told me that he may be able to
get it back up and running for << the Curtis rebuild price ($700 or so),
and can increase the current and voltage (750-900A, 156V). I'm going to
pack it up right away!
Logisystems in TX is doing repairs on blown Curtis controllers now. They also claim to be on the verge of offering new 156vdc controllers in the 800 to 1000 amp range.
