Title: dash inverter
Post by: old 1320 on April 10, 2013, 09:03:44 pm
Hi folks, I am new to this ,but I just finished a project you might be interested in. I recently purchased a u270 and have been going through it getting everything working properly.The only stumbling block was the dash. the electroluminescent dash was dead.I managed to trace the problem to the inverter and then was told there weren't any available. Well I just turned on the lights and what a cool looking dash.  soooo for you folks needing an inverter ,here we go.
Luminous film  p/n IN2005    Patrick Dwyer  ( great guy and very helpfull ) 319 938 7707  or LED Lightbox and LED Modules (http://www.knema.com). $97.50 + shipping.  hope this helps someone. ps this is a single inverter for 3 panels

old 1320,
Don't hold back on the finer details like, yr of coach, condition, any pictures, etc. We are just a bunch of inquiring minds wanting to know. I'm sure the information you've supplied will come in handy for many of the members.

Old320, Welcome aboard....  I suspect that you are about to be hailed as a hero.  My dash is not backlit but there are many out there.  One danger is piercing the film and then they die.  Thanks for the find even if I don't need it.
And...how about some more info about your FT and name/location etc.

When I was having service at FOT last year, i asked to check my electro luminescent dash and found it was the inverter and put in a "rebuilt" inverter. It works fine and had not worked in several years
