I've been following this forum for a long time, but this is my first post. So if I mess up protocol, please let me know. 
I found a few threads on this forum that talked about tower systems, and there seems to be quite a bit of knowledge out there on them.
So do any of you know of a service tech or company in the south-eastern Indiana area that has the knowledge to service Swords?
Of maybe one of you could give me some advice on fixing them myself.
I own and operate a two screen theatre, running Swords in both.
I have had great luck with them. But lately one is experiencing problems. Here is one of the biggest:
1) One by one the automation circuit are not working. First the sound and now the lamp. I've had to wire up manual overrides.
Any ideas on this issue or on service techs in my area who could come take a look?
Thanks!

The automation section on many swords was the Eprad Co-operator
Check the microswitchs on the timing cams they can be replaced individually from most electronic wholesalers

Your best bet would be Newark Electronics

Gordon,
I forgot to let you know that I did replace the relay in my Sword automation, and it is working fine now.
I greatly appreciate the advice!!!Tony
