stuttering wheels

Joyce,
I had a problem with stuttering wheels when the electronic controls
caused a feedback problem when four of them where hooked to the same
electrical circuit. We had 10 model B Brent wheels and three circuits.
I called them and they sent some feedback filters that allowed four
wheels to be hooked to the same 30 amp circuit. The alternative would
have been to wire additional circuits at a great cost. The private art
school could not afford that cost.

If you have only one wheel, perhaps there is another electronic device
on the same circuit that is providing feedback into your wheel electronics.
I don't think it would have been cheaper to solve the problem any other
way than you have.

Perhaps your experience will save someone from replacing the "black box"
on their wheel only to find our it did not solve the problem.
