    MEP-802 and 803 Main generator tip.

    The MOV mod is actually something I came up with a few years ago. It purpose is to protect the VR from shorting out. Something the Fuse Mod doesn't do. If the fuse were to pop the MOV should still be good.

    MEP-802 and 803 Main generator tip.

    The link from Hard Head applies to issues and fix for the 805A/806A/815A/816A generators and NOT the 802/803. Here is my understanding with the issue with the 802/803.... Their A1 voltage regulators are powered by the quad winding. The quad winding provides AC power to a diode bridge inside...

    Instead of ordering the MOV's I'd be happy to mail you a couple of them. I only used 1 of the 10 I purchased. If you'd like a pair of MOV's PM me your mailing address and I'll pop them in the mail to you.

    Here it is in my 802. The circular blue disc is a MOV that I added to prevent the voltage spikes that can take out the diode bridge in the voltage regulator.
