Re: Gecko 210s l- limited rapids

Jon, Thanks so much, the documentation that came with my Geckos was
the last year version and it did not document the nema 42 switch but
the new revision on the website did! Hope that fixes me up.

Do you have any insight into where to find the selonoids that
control the air brake and spindle speed. The switches are still
wired but I have lost power to them. There is not enough info in the
schematic to tell which wires.

thanks
Keith Clark
