4000w power controller availability

Seems like the whole of Australia has sold out of these. Everywhere I look they are not available.

I have a quick google for alternatives but they seem pretty thin on the ground unless you are happy to get the soldering iron out, which I would rather not.

I know I am impatient, but does anyone know where I can get one without waiting another month??

Cheers,

Graham

Hi Graham ,
We have a few coming from KL but in about 6 weeks we will have our own controllers and we shouldn’t be having these stock issues

Lol
How did I know Andrew would be able to find the unfindable.

If we ever convert to a prospecting forum I am coming out with you Andrew lol as you seem to have the happy knack of being in The right place at the right time

No worries, thanks guys.

I will wait it out - at least I've got a couple of stripping runs to do, and maybe another reflux run before I really need a controller for a gin run fingers crossed!

Cheers

Andrew got it sorted and one is winging it’s way to me for my first go at Odins gin.

Kegland are now advertising as having them end of October so if anyone needs one you better talk to Andrew quick smart!

I think everyone will wait as they will all want to be the first with the all new five star branded power controller.

Hi, any update on when these new controllers will be available & what's the difference between the 5star & KL branded ones?
I've also seen some that look very similar on Fleabay but have Chinese writing all over them for half the price. Are they all made in the same factory?

Apparently the boat carrying our controllers docks here in Brisbane Sunday 1st and should be delivered a few days later.
I found the factory selling the ones with all the hieroglyphics over them but didn’t like the idea of “whataretheymadeof”
The ones I’m getting are out of the same fact as “the others” just no logo :handgestures-thumbupleft: wink wink

Took 10 days for a parcel from United States after handed over to local courier to come from Sydney to Brisbane so hopefully when leaves the ship stays in Brisbane .
