You haven't LIVED until you have had an Eight Speed E-20 take off in Reverse with full armature current and full field weakening. :) THAT event is what prompted the fix. <VBG>

The connector to Card 4 on my E20 is intermittent. I've done all the obvious: cleaned contacts, checked for cracked tracks, torn pads, etc. I think it's time to really fix it. I don't want to be messing with this in the middle of a snowstorm this winter. I'm thinking: 1. Replace the connector. The board and it's contacts aren't so great though - could also replace the board... but it's just not a great connector system. 2. I could just directly solder everything; I certainly would if there were solder pads with holes or some way to strain relieve the wires. 3. Design a new board with pads and/or a better connector system. Anyone had this problem and what did you do to fix it? No, I'm not ready to convert to solid state. yet.
