I might be able to improve the connections in your box. I also have 2 
others which are in unknown used condition. If you can wait, I should 
wait until summer and get out my 69 and test both of them and get 
them working. I know I had quite a battle getting my own 69 one to 
work, but now it is fine.

If you would be willing to do without yours for a couple of weeks I 
could probably fix it for sure, but it would be best if that happened 
while my 69 was out so I could test it.
