Re: AD10 problem

["Tim Hawes" <timsyahoo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

OK, so I was able to look at this again over the weekend. And it's
dead :-(

I think one of the relays has gone as when I took it apart and
manually closed the contacts the output was indicated as on (via LED).
Sending an OFF signal gave a satisfying(?) clunk... The plastic arm
that connects the contacts to the relays appears fine.

So, does anyone have another knackered one I can butcher to repair
mine, or is anyone interested in my one for parts?

Cheers,

Tim.
