Moonlight flash unit repair

Looking for recommendations for a repair service to have a Bogen Monolite 400 flash unit repaired. Any place in Florida would be great, but I would ship it anywhere if necessary.

I have a few Bowens Travelights myself, one is toast.
Since almost all my work is on location and much of that outside, I opted to go with Godox battery-powered units.

This place in Arizona says they repair Bowens, (but I think yours is pretty old):
https://www.criscam.com/lightingsystems
"CRIS is the last man standing for Bowens repair in the United States. Bowens liquidated in 2017. There are no longer new parts manufactured for repair service. Due to our relationship with Vitec Imaging Distribution US, we have access to the remaining parts in their inventory and a large amount of damaged/scrapped units to locate usable parts from. We require a $35 per unit non-refundable evaluation fee to provide a repair quote for Bowns products. The fee is applicable to the approved repair. If you have an older Bowens product, please take an image and email it to us at customerservice@criscam.com with a brief description of your requirement. Possible frustration and expensive freight charges can be avoided with a brief email conversation. Download the service request form to send in your Bowens product for repair."

Personally, in light of how old yours is, if you still want a Bowens, look at at least getting a newer model like my Travelites.
KEH has a few for sale HERE.

Good luck, regardless!
I've seen your work posted here....very Nice!
