Re: (ET) Conversion

[Kirkvg aol com]

Mike, I have done that same conversion on an E-20. If you go back in the 
archive to March and April I posted several updates on my progress under 
Electronic Speed Control if I remember correctly. The hardest part was 
figuring out how to make all of the safety switches work with the new 
controller and integrating the new wiring with the existing wiring. Also, 
getting the pot box mounted inside the existing speed control box was time 
consuming. It is all doable though. Mine worked on the first time out 
which I 
was extremely proud of. It is wonderful being rid of the drive relays, 
switches, and resistors. 

As I worked on the conversion I built a wiring diagram of what I was 
doing. 
It was pretty rough and I planned on cleaning it up. I had intended on 
making 
that wiring diagram available to the group in June. I have been unable to 
finish it in that time. I have worked on it a couple of times and am about 
half done. I messed up my writing hand this past Saturday and am just now 
able to do a little bit of writing again. So maybe I can get on it this 
next 
week while I am unable to do manual labor yet.

I would be happy to answer any questions you have. Where are you located? 
I 
live in Vancouver, WA. I am not familiar with an E-12. Is that a permanent 
magnet motor? Or a compound wound motor?   Kirk
