Hey Forkingabout,

Haha, I haven't touched it, that TLC/c013 issue with the two RRE160Ms resolved, thanks some to your help of course. Your a gem!

This however is a different machine, purchased secondhand recently, It's always had quite slow lowering since we got it, but just last week it got really bad. So I looked at some forums and someone had had a similar issue in that the pot had 'loosened off', I guess you would say.

This information spurred me to get the guys in to investigate this issue as a possible cause, and as it turns out (I love the helpful people on here) the lowering trim-pot was missing (found rolling around on the circuit board); they recommended a new board, if they can source one.

I would rather not bare this expense if I can first get someone to have a crack at replacing the trim-pot.

Apparently the logic card was replaced not so long before purchase, I'm thinking the trim-pot may have been knocked or something at that point.

It seems the top part has come off leaving the pins and solder in place (from what I can tell but I cant be sure as its freaking tiny, like 5-7mm, and the board is still in place so I cant see the backside of it.

No codes appear, just very slow lowering like less than 2 feet per minute.
