Does anyone have a PM1 they no longer use?

Mine seems to have a loose connection, and only occasionally registers a signal. I'm hoping there is someone who upgraded to a PM3/4 who no longer needs their PM1. Thanks.

I'll check at home to see if I see have my old PM. I'll toss it to you (almost literally) if I have it.

Be sure the end is pushed quite firmly all the way into the monitor.

Is there actually a loose connection? The monitor may be fine and it may just be a bad pickup/wire assembly which is a relatively cheap and simple replacement. If you have access to another erg it would be easy to troubleshoot. C2JonW

I replaced the pickup and wire with a new one last week, and that didn't fix it. So, then I sent an email to our town listserv, and discovered two other C2s on my street. I plugged my monitor into theirs, and got a very intermittent reading, but for the most part, nothing. I have pushed the plug in as firmly as I can. The socket that the plug goes into feels a little loose. If my efforts to find a spare monitor fail, I may have to learn our to remove the socket and replace it with a new one. Until then, I row blind.
