The only problem with Fastrack switches that I have heard was one user here that had a loose connector rattling around.  It was an easy fix from what I recall.  If you can get a good price and if the seller is honest, should be a good buy.  I have not seen many come up for sale.  Those that do, tend to be from set break ups and they set a minimum that is on the steep side.

Good Luck,

I've purchased several old 1121 and 1024 switches off of Ebay without any troubles. Like Jim said, check the feedback and read the fine print.

Manual FT switches are pretty bullet proof, but automatic ones, I don't know. As with anything on eBay, make sure the seller has a high positive feedback score, and if possible, see if they offer a money back guarantee if the item doesn't work.

I see some used Fastrack switches on ebay. Is there much that can go wrong with them? I will be buying either a 60 or 72 remote switch.
