Reply to "(*) Redbird Subway R-17 ~ Dead as a Door Nail ~ Rest in Peace..."

That’s about the size of it. Even if you do upgrade, it still might be a problem as the subways seem to be difficult for these mth certified technicians to repair. I had my ps-2 Redbird upgraded to ps-3 after its board died.  It took about three returns before the tech got it right. Certain Lights didn’t work, then subway stops sounds were problematic, etc.  I tried a different tech in my area when my cherished R-32 premier engine died. This Is the first mth premier subway and I had to have it fixed.  This MTH certified repair guy was worse than the first and although it now runs, the speed control is not functional and the auto mode will not operate. THis model has manual operating doors and is a nightmare to remove the shell without breaking something, so I’ve just decided to leave it as it is, even though I wasted $250 on the upgrade.  If you do decide to upgrade, try and find someone that has significant subway experience. Maybe someone on this board will chime in and suggest someone. If they do, it would be well worth the shipping to send it to a competent technician.
