Munchen Board Problem

Hi Robert,

I assume the polarity of the magnet doesn't matter.

of course not!

After years of neglect I've recently plugged in my Mephisto Munchen London and there are a number of reed switches that aren't responding. I believe it's possible to replace these switches. So I'd appreciate any advice on how to go about it. Meanwhile I'll try Nick's advice and try to activate these switches.
Cheers,
Rob

Good luck with trying to activate the reed switches Rob. As others have said persistence can pay off but if you need to replace reed switches hope this helps - http://www.chesscomputeruk.com/html/conchess.html

All the best

Thanks for the help guys. Persistence did pay off! I did as Nick suggested by repeatedly trying to activate the switches and then I left the unit switched on over night with pieces on the affected squares. Now they're all working, although g8 is a bit sluggish. I'll continue to use the machine until it is working smoothly.
Thank you all for your prompt replys.
Cheers,
Robert.
