Don, if I were you, I would at least contact the
manufacturer and get a quote on what it would take to
bring it up to working order. Might only need the
magnets replaced.

Hi Al,
I will do that before I give up on it altogether. I have just had a look
at todays prices for a new replacement and we are talking $2250.00. I have
emailed Eclipse and asked for an estimate to have it serviced, I await there
response.
Many thanks
Don
