<DIV>Hi Hazen,</DIV>
<DIV>I don't know what you mean by band aided. If you replace the plug =
and wire,
it is back to 100%. I have never heard of the micro-switch to go =
u/s.</DIV>
<DIV>On the list, a while back, someone said he had rigged up a wireless =
switch,
adapting a Radio Shack wireless doorbell assy.</DIV>
<DIV>The thumbswitch assy, is a coil cord, with a switch that is =
attached to
your tuning hammer with a velcro switch.</DIV>
<DIV>I have just used the foot switch, on the older SAT. The auto =
advance of the
SAT lll, is one of it's best features. I figure it saves me about 5 =
mins. per
piano, I never measured, it is just a perception, I have.</DIV>
<DIV>Regards,</DIV>
