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. John Formsma Blue Mountain, MS >> I had a problem twice with my SAT 1 with the foot switch terminal not working. The last time was just before I sold it. I called Sanderson and was told that if a Radio Shack or non Inventronics plug was soldered on, it could damage the switch terminal. So I paid to have it repaired and a new cord installed on the foot switch. Dave Peake, RPT Portland Chapter Oregon City, OR
