Re: (take 2) EDP Intermittent Restart Thingie

[Bret <echoplex@yahoo.com>]

How was it, and was there much static?
I have had the edp freak from static discharge on the footpedal.  Kim
gave me a fix for this.  Put a rubber grommet around the quarter inch
plug on the footpedal.  This isolates the case from the footpedal
ground.

Static discharge may not be your problem, of course.
