Spent some time Sunday tearing down my Mark V trying to fix it. Finally gave up and sent a help request via the web site.

At work Monday, I got a call from Linda. She walked me through the whole thing, pointed me to some videos on the web site, and answered every dumb question I came up with.

Last night, I tore into my Mark V using the info Linda had provided. Sure enough, my speed control was pretty chewed up. Ordered a new one online.

I just want to say how incredibly impressed I am with the Mark V, Linda, and the whole ShopSmith team. I know times are tough, but I'm pulling for you all!

Let me be the first to say: Welcome aboard.. I hope you get may yrs of enjoyment out of the Mark V. But from what you said "my speed control was pretty chewed up" sounds like your are enjoying it already.

Doug, welcome to the forum. I had a nice conversation with Linda yesterday myself. She's a gem. Good luck with your Mk5.

Doug, I forgot to welcome you to the forum group. These really are a great bunch of folks on here. So much knowledge and wisdom and most are willing to share with others. Again welcome and sorry I forgot the first time. Maybe an age thing, I seem to be getting older by the minute....
