Reply to "Repair of Lionel Hot Box Reefer"

There is only one photo, but board #1 is the AC regulator. Board #2 is the "random lights LED" board. Board #3 is the railsounds board and is unavailable. Looks like the AC reg shorted or where is the electrolytic capacitor on the two leads...are the leads to it charred?

Did you look here for parts? Many parts are available, some harness, some boards, smoke unit, etc.

Do you have the manual?

It doesn't matter which shell you have, all the guts and the frame are the same. I just bought one on ebay for $75 which was like new. There are less expensive ones (not REA..) available last time I looked and probably less money than buying the harness and boards.

BTW, I put the Mini Commander ACC in the reefer and can turn it on and off easier with the remote.

Here's a link to the ones available...
