Help on Flats Jack jack plate

Post by **Fish Masterson** » March 27th, 2006, 9:28 pm

A buddy of mine has a flats jack and one of the solenoids has stopped working on it so it has ceased to operate. Do any of you gurus, have any idea where a replacement part can be found, and exactly what the part might be called.
Thanks, Fish Masterson

if its a bobs machine shop system, the switch itself may be the problem..there cheap and easy to replace...just cut the the switch wires and find the common...try just putting the bare wires together one thaan the other...
