Had LED bulbs in both lights from the get go.

Well, looks disconnecting one did the trick :) If I now walk into the garage through the door with the panel right next to it, the one corresponding light comes on almost instantly, similar to how the Chamberlain panel operates. The range is still not what I was hoping, i.e. if I enter through...

Mine are an inch apart, will disconnect one and see what it does. Thanks!

At least one of them came with the opener, the 2nd one I bought separately because the opener was used and did not come with a wall control.

Well, here's the full story of my frustration: I have 2 garages, one 2 car and one 1 car garage. The 2 jackshafts with 2 remote lights are in the 2 car, the 1 car has a newish chain driven Chamberlain (integrated light) that came with a Chamberlain wall control that is exactly the same as the...

Thanks! Not sure I follow. The 2 panels are individually wired to the 2 corresponding openers, 1-to-1. I assume the signal from the panel to turn on the light goes through the wire to the opener which then triggers the light remotely.

Thanks, no obstructions. The openers are about 10 ft. from the lights with direct line of sight.

I got 2 of those for my LM 8500 jackshaft openers. I seem to be lucky because everything works, not randomly opening doors etc., with the exception of the motion control which acts totally erratic. Sometimes the lights come on instantly when I walk out into the garage, sometimes I have to move...

Well, whatever it is, this one has to go... I guess I am just going to stick with more Wiltons moving forward...

Good point!

Re: Reed R204 swivel base miss aligned? I think that answers it. Disappointing actually, glad I only paid 60 bucks for it ;) Thanks all for your input!

Teeth in the plate itself are perfect too. Maybe I just got proof that Reed was one of the first US companies to outsource manufacturing to China in 1943 [emoji38]

Re: Reed R204 swivel base miss aligned? Not the issue, maybe this picture helps: Both ears for the bolts are flush with the workbench edge (take my word for it) but the jaws are not parallel to it. I.e. the swivel base does not allow to lock the vise itself in a straight way. It is off by...

Yes, it is very hard to hold my iPhone straight above without getting some kind of distortion. As far as I can tell, there is really nothing wrong with base, no repair, holes are symmetrical and bolt is centered.

Exactly my thought as well, just wanted to make sure... Like I said, they are considered to be really well designed vises (it is my first Reed), so I am a little surprised that Reed would not have cared about this.

All looking good to me... Well, maybe I just bite the bullet even though the thought of drilling holes that way into my beautiful 2.5" butcher block top makes me cringe. Maybe I give Reed a call, it's only 77 years old so they should accept a warranty claim ;)

Re: Reed R204 swivel base miss aligned? Yes, bolt is in, fits perfectly, no wear or tear. Re. OCD: it actually does bug the heck out of me, especially since I am still trying to figure out whether there is some reassembly issue. Once I rule this out and can blame Reed for this, I might be able...

Re: Reed R204 swivel base miss aligned? All perfect, nothing repaired. The picture is a little skewed since I did not get it perfectly centered from above; that's why the ears look a little off.

Reed R204 swivel base miss aligned? I also posted the in the "general" section but did not get any responses, so trying it here as well... I got a nice Reed 204R vise the other day. Not planning to restore it since it is in good shape and I like the patina. I took it apart, cleaned it and...

So I got this really nice Reed 204R vise yesterday. Not planning to restore it since it is in really good shape. I took it apart, cleaned it and regreased and oiled it. When I tried to install it on my bench, I realized that the base and the vise are not aligned. I.e. if I align the mounting...
