Looks like my transfer switch has bit the bullet. I am rebuilding my sterps at the moment. Started my generator yesterday and heard no click from the transfer switch and no AC to the coach.
What is the current switch that most folks are using now? Looking at options.

It has been several years since I replaced my switch, CC shipped me a replacement but this might have been the source. Description looks like it is a replacement for the Todd Engineering transfer switch.

Ray, I just put in the TRC model # 41260. 50 amp tranfer switch with built in surge protection of 1750 joules.

Jack look for Dave Hill's repair for the Todd Engineering transfer switch timer board. If you have that switch and if you feel you can un-solder a capacitor and replace it, the repair might be as cheap as $2.02. At least that's what I paid for the replacement capacitor at Radio Shack. Dave has posted pictures in the Photos section. It takes two minutes to replace the capacitor once you get the circuit board out but I had to remove the incoming power leads to get the board out they are a bit of a pain to get back into their connections. Working with the power leads takes longer to do than replacing the capacitor.
