     I have an old (~20 years) "Honeywell Futuramic II Strobonar Electronic
Flash."  That part works okay.  I also have a ring light attachment for it.
The ring light doesn't work anymore.
     The ring has been dormant for several months and I tried using it last
week.  It charges, but won't flash.  Connecting the two wires on the plug
produces a spark there, but no flash.
     I went to my photo store and the guy there just shook his head.
     First any idea what is wrong?  I suspect the tube's aged out.
     Secondly, how can I get it fixed?  Where can I get a ring strobe tube?
Is there some company that might be able to fix this guy?  How much is this
going to cost?
