So I purchased a replacement pedal for the 1500, problem solved permanently.

BTW, Rob, you might be interested to know there is a service manual available in the files of the Yahoo group for this machine. A service manual, not an owner's manual. A valuable piece of info, especially if you're handy.

Thank you for pointing out the service manual! Using their trouble shooting guide I was able to determine that there is a broken wire in the foot controller. So I will be ordering a new foot controller ASAP.
