I bet those old motors are generating "noise" that fools the autoreverse into triggering. Fred <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />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. <br />[:)] <br />Best wishes, <br />Tom <br />[/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
