   I live in Georgetown, KY just outside Lexington.  Have you checked out the Oneida?

   Thanks Ken, I checked out the Oneida switch this morning on their web.  It's only about $10 more than the PSI Lone Ranger.  I'm going to check further.  I retired from Michigan just outside Detroit and found it a little eaiser to locate woodworking tools within a closer proximity.  I found that I have to travel a little further because of living here near the lake, but you couldn't get me to move with a crowbar.  Next time I head your way I'll drop you a message.

                                                                  Thanks Again

   I'm still here in Warren plugging away. Instead of a remote, have you considered a motor relay/contactor with hard wired switches. No need to carry the remote.

   I used to live in Shelby Township, 23 mile and Van Dyke area, I sure don"t miss the cold and TRAFFIC ! 

   I thought of the idea of hard wiring switches to late in the game, didn"t think of it until the shop was insulated and drywall was in place.  If I would have hardwired switches I wouldn"t have the problem of always knocking the remote off my waist.

   Pops, fix that circuit board.  Use a magnifying glass to locate the break and scratch gently at both sides of the crack and using a small soldering iron, quickly solder a small dab of solder across the break.

    After you've got it to work, use epoxy cement to reinforce the crack Don't use J-B Weld as it contains metal filings. Stein.

   I did fix my circuit board this morning, my wife said I just needed to calm down after I did it.  I used my continuity tester and found three broken circuit board lines.  Ended up using superglue for the board crack and I had some adhesive metal tape(from my son's slot car days) which I placed on the broken contact points, cutting off the excess, got lucky it works fine now.

   Nice to hear soneone took my advice. I made my first continuity checker in 1946  It was just an ear plug from an army surplus pilots head set with two probes in series with a penlite battery The thing used a piece of baling wire to hang it over my ear. Even used it later while in the signal corps to test phone wires and switchboards etc. Good luck Pops, Ed.

    I have a Panasonic tv with a broken circuit board in the antenna port circuitry which drives me nutty. To get at the damn thing is a real Federal case. So, periodically, I have to twist the %$#@%$^ lead- in cable to get on with my History Channel. Still don't know who won WW II  Ed.

   Call the nice folks at PSI, they are very helpful and understand your problem. 

   Nearly impossible to repair for the cost of a replacement.

   They went way out of their way to help me with a similar problem.

   I did contact PSI and talked to one of their techs about repairing the remote, he said try to repair the board and if I didn"t have any luck give him a call back and we would go from there.
