Anyone have an extra frosted dome / UV dome for sale in the San Diego area? Its the glass cover that goes over the flash tube and modeling lamp on the PCB Einsteins. I don't see one on ebay and it would be easier than ordering one on PCB website. Thanks!

For reference, here are the prices from Buff's Website for the Einstein Frosted dome (they are listed under Hardware > Modeling Lamps).

Einstein™ Dome Cover
Part Number: 1060836
Price: $9.95

Einstein™ UV-Coated Dome Cover
Part Number: 1060836-UV
Price: $14.95

I haven't seen these parts for sale elsewhere, but these prices should give you a ballpark on what you should spend, and a part number you can search for.   

I can understand your desire to buy elsewhere.  The shipping charge from Buff seems to be about $11, plus $1.20 for each dome bought.  If you were ordering from Buff, it makes more sense to bundle the dome into another order.


The Paul C. Buff company has a reputation for great customer service.  If your Einstein is still under warranty, give customer service a call, they might send you a replacement for free.

Thank you Michael! I just saw this and haven't bought a replacement yet. I will give them a call and report back : )
