Need help with my Gammill long arm
 

I have a Gammill Classic Plus (2006) that recently had the LED lights in the handle go out--the black lights in the same light bar continue to work. So I called my Gammill Rep and he sent me a new (and costly) updated LED strip--but the same thing is still happening. I've talked to the Rep, he's been in contact with Gammill and they think it is a "bad" light bar and are sending another one. While I really, really hope this is the issue and can get this dang light working (just too hard to do FMQ without my close-up light) I'm worried and wondering if anyone on the QB has ideas on a fix. Thanks!

There is a yahoo group for Gammill owners. You might also want to join and post there.

As a temporary fix I would consider battery operated LED stick ons.

Be HAPPY that it seems like you are getting great customer service.

I've always had very good service from Gammill. They will continue to work with you until it is fixed properly.

Thanks, All. I expect I'll get the newest light bar on Monday or latest Tues (I only live 4 hours away from West Plains- HQ for Gammill) and I'm hopeful that will solve the problem. If not, my guess is the tech will be heading my way in the next few weeks. I can see well enough with my overhead lights to work off the back, or do easy E2E stuff (NOT on black!) but have 3 waiting for some custom work. I do have some stick-on LEDs but little worried it will throw the balance of the machine off some. I have posted on yahoo and Gammill forum, too. Just freaking that it might be wiring issue.

I use a Bendable Bright Light on the front of my longarm and point it directly where I need it - love it and it cost $35.00. Hope you get your problem solved quickly - no one likes to quilt in the dark!!!
