REFLECTOR:Balancer

[Wayne Owens]

Hi TEC,

I had trouble one other way now that I think more about it. Once the
connector on the accelerometer was vibrating loose. Those connectors are the
least impressive part of the machine. I plugged it in tight and wrapped a
piece of duct tape around it. I bet yours has a bad connection somewhere in
that area.

Vibe tech is within 50 miles of me and If you want I will take yours to the
shop and have them make it work on a prop if necessary.  I feel bad that
something I recommended is not working for you. Mine and another one owned
by a fellow on the other side of town  are working great.
Wayne
