About Us
Weichert
Electronics ... began
over 35 years ago in Murray Bridge ... in the heart of
South Australia’s dairy industry ... as a small electronics
repair centre catering mainly for tv and video repairs.
About 15 years ago we were approached to
repair some Boumatic detachers ... 4600 series.
Initially
believing they were not repairable it took some convincing to take them
on board ... but when the dairy farmer told us the price of
replacement boards ... $600 - 700 here in Australia
... how many he had in his dairy ... and how
many his neighbours had ... we thought it worthwhile
investigating further.
All
our initial enquiries (worldwide) led to the same answer, they can't be
repaired, and I pretty soon realised we weren't going to get any help
from anywhere else ... so I got to work myself.
In
the early stages we were only able to repair about 60 - 70% of the ones
sent in ... which was a start ... but not very
satisfying ... so a huge amount of work was put into
developing new techniques to tackle the remaining elusive faults.
Major breakthrough
After
building some fairly elaborate test gear for the boards, and many many
hours tracing circuits etc ... we had a major breakthrough
... and since then we have been able to repair virtually
all of the boards that are sent in.
Having
perfected the techniques and the equipment needed to repair the boards,
it seemed a waste not to have more of them to do, hence the reason for
our first website ... boumaticboardrepairs.com.au
The
website increased our exposure and brought in all sorts of other dairy
work ... different Boumatic boards to start with ...
then lots of everything else.
With
the decrease in costs of new tv’s and increased reliability of lcd and
plasma sets ... the need for domestic electronic repairs is
disappearing ... and at the same time with the increasing
complexity and price of electronic equipment used in dairies, it only
makes sense to gear up and cater for that market ... hence
this new expanded website.
As
you will see by exploring the site ... we already do quite
a number of different electronic control boards for dairies ...
so even if your equipment is not listed here ... if
you need any electronic dairy equipment repaired ... if you
have any problems you need solved ... or if you have any
questions you need answered ... relating to electronics in
dairies ... please don’t hesitate to
email or phone us with your enquiries.
