Re: (ET) Where do I buy a new board, and what is it called.



It may depend.  What model e-trak?  it sounds like you have an e15 or 
greater.
My e12s has a relay that "solders" itself together when the motor stops 
and the 
field collapses sending a spike back up the line that jumps the airgap of 
the 
relays points.  I'm not familar with the card you mention.

the man with all the answers is Bill Gunn 608 868 6220.  is a wealth of 
information.  when you talk to him take good notes.  you'll have have to 
send 
him postal money order he doesn't take credit cards over the phone.  oh 
when 
you talk to Bill be sure you have your full model number it's 8 or 10 
digits 
long.  Do you still know the previous owner's name or zip code?  He may 
have 
dealt with Bill in the past and Bill may have a file on that machine.  It 
would 
be worth asking.

 there's others on this list that will be able to give better, more 
detailed 
answer.  But ultimately you will be going to Saint Bill. oh the bad news, 
Bill 
is on vacation and unavailable until next week sometime.
