Well as the where abouts for buying one of the above seems to be a seceret ,I tried to contact Speed Genie several times over the last few working days and got diddley squat, Not answering phones or emails .
Contacted Drives Direct and they asked for a wireing diagram which I never got . The are doing there best to help but cant take a chance supplying without a diagram .
Oh well will soldier on with what I have , only one of them switches would make it so easier for me . :roll:

Mornin' In my experience 'Speed Genie' generally use Teco Minicon inverters. I used them myself to add speed control to both my lathes.

Don't know if it is possible to wire another set of controls into the same connectors that are already there, would need a 'sparky's' advice on this. My opinion is that all you need on a wandering control is stop/start, speed, and emergency stop, all the other switches can be left on the main box.

If you check inside your main box you will be able to see which inverter is living in there. Must warn you Speed Genie tend to relabel the inverter with their own label, which does confuse the issue a little.

As I said, the one I was able to look at used a

Manual here.

Wish you luck getting it sorted.
