This is an odd one. How old is it? You can send it to Mytee or where you bought it and they can send it to us to have it checked out. Did a circuit breaker pop?

It is less than a year old. The circuit breaker did not pop.

Sending it off really sucks since I am a small, poor, cracker owned company. I gots like 2 dollars to my name. I at least need the one side to do most jobs.

Hi Jeremy,

UPS is at least $10.00. PM your address and I'll send a UPS call tag for you. I will need you put it in a box with an address?

We'll get you fixed up.

John

Hey, thanks man. I will do that. I am just more worried about needing it for a job when it's being shipped everywhere.

I do appreciate it though. I will send that right over to you.

the breakers on both mine will not hold more than about 10 amps each, took mine apart to change them and I had blackened wires going to the breakers. oh well honestly I don't think the mytee boxes are really meant for water damage work and running all that stuff under constant load. I in the process of putting together some real spider boxes, good hell doing that is expensive. I have had mine for like 3 years so I am well out of warranty.

I easily run 15-16 amps thru both side of my mytee conversion boxes almost weekly and they never really get hot. If I overload the breaker on the box always pops. I have four boxes and use them on every big job where voltage is available.
