I'd rather have tacked this onto Bert's original thread for more info for anyone following this path, but the thread has been locked. Does anyone have a picture of the wires connected to the micro switches please? The more I look at the limiting ramps on mine, the more I'm convinced that one switch runs NO and the other runs NC. Unfortunately both of my screens came with those wires disconnected... What would be the icing on the cake would be a picture of the big blue wheel in the inside of the lift mechanism with a statement of what position it's in i.e. fully up, fully down, somewhere in the middle, etc..
Secondly, you can replace those blue double microsowitches with two individual ones bolted side-by-side. All I had to do was file down the raised moldings on both sides of the inner switch and the raised moldings on the inside of the outer switch. The holes lined up perfectly with the original rivets and a pair of 15mm x 2mm set screws held them on. Pictures to follow, once I've solved the limiting ramp setup problem.
[Update] They both definately run NC. I just can't get the limiting ramps (the blue wheel) lined up correctly. I've also just discovered that the 'other' screen has a seized motor - lots of blue smoke and a very warm hand where I was holding the wire feed... No damage done though.
