Thanks Alan.

Ok, I'm Suitably embarressed. How do I get the edge connector wire terminals out of the plastic strip to clean them. I've tried gently tugging the wire, and pushing from the other end, but I don't want to force anything. I've still got something funny with the search unit edge connector, segment C/D...

Success! I'm not exactly sure what I've done though. I robbed a good select coil out of the original search unit, and used the better of the two boards, re-assembled, taking meticulous care with settings and cleaning contacts, and hey presto it worked. So I thought I might as well take the edge conn...

Hi, I've been playing about with the spare search unit, and ... It needed all the contacts and the wiper board cleaning, and the outside select coil isn't working (what kind of resistance should I expect to find on them?) but crucially, all the inside pins, including T, and V select correctly, and t...

Hello Terry, Are you saying that you removed the search unit off of the mechanism and used the wallbox to select the same number you tried before? Yes thats what I did The test I suggested would prove the operation of the stop plate assembly for the pins pushed out. I guess I thought I'd proved the...

Alan, I did it the other way round to the way you suggested but I think I proved the same thing. I took the search unit off, and made the selections on the buttons, and the wrong pins are coming out ie S1=S0, T1=T0, U1=U0, V1= V0, and on up to 9. (but just those letters) I can't believe 2 steppers w...

Hi Alan, I'll try pushing the pins out and let you know. I have 2 steppers, the one that came with the machine and was working ok (label missing from the board), and the one I bought on line (HGM). The selection fault occurs with both steppers. I did check the settings on the search unit to try to c...

Nope, just been out, adjusted the edge connector on the first stepper and put it back on.
The number problem is stll there. So I guess it's not the stepper.
Terry

Yes Definately just those letters, strange isn't it. I'm just not sure if it's a wallbox issue or a mech issue. The only other thing I've done is put a different stepper in, to try to cure the first issue. (its one of those half solid state half relay units with the white plastic cover). In fact rea...

Hi, I'm trying to sort my 1100 mech hideaway with a WRC wall box. I bought it as a runner, but soon had problems with the search unit going round & round, this turned out to be dodgy edge connectors. It works fine now but .... The problem I've got, is the selections S,T,U,V, numbers 0 through to...
