[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by Rosenblad Hi! Thanks for all the answers! [quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by flee307 Try putting a small mylar cap across the motor brushes. I bet those old motors are generating "noise" that fools the autoreverse into triggering. Fred [/quote] The capacitor sounds like something an old guy like me can relate to! How do I determine the size to use? I think I want to try this before I dump my AR1. [:)] Best wishes, Tom [/quote]I would just pick a lokety and experiment. Start with say a .1 uf (or any small cap you have) and see what happens. .1 is what I use to fix flashing in LED lighting caused by spikes and such generated by the motor. Fred
