SAT II users

[John M. Formsma]

Terry,

I'm a SAT II user. Sometimes the foot switch wire will develop a short in it
at the plug. The switch will not advance the SAT to the next note unless one
holds the wires together in the "right" place. All one needs to do is go to
Rad Shack, buy a 3/32" sub-mini phone plug, and solder the wires to the
plug. (Make sure you solder before the short, cutting off the bad section of
wire.) It will work fine after that. You can use a spare piece of plastic
tubing as a strain relief for the plug so the breakage will not happen again
as quickly. I made my strain relief from the kind of tubing used to repair
player pianos.

Just out of curiousity, how many SAT (II) users are members of this list?
Have you ever had trouble with either the "foot" or "thumb" switch? Also,
the manual mentions a "LOWBAT" indication will be seen in the left window,
when the battery is low, but that's not what I get; Instead, I get little
black "dots" on either side of the note and/or octave indicators (left
window).
