TW AC1 Raven speed control unit and static

I have the original TW Raven AC1. It has the original control unit (not the unit provided with the AC3).
Occasionally when static builds up in the room and around my TT the TW AC1 with shut down. I then have to shut off the control unit and then wait a minute and restart.
I heard the newer control unit does not have this problem and is more stable with static.
P.S. My TT is grounded.

Anyone else have this problem and is the solution to get the newer control unit?

Thanks
Rick (RWD)

Just a final update. I picked up a replacement control unit for my Raven AC1 and it works just fine. I even learned how to fine tune the speed controls. And if I had tried that (speed control) sooner, then all this would have never been an issue. You see, when the static charge affected the control unit it only put the 45 speed back to 33 1/3. The unit was never damaged or defective!!! It just needed to have the speed (on the 45rpm) re-set!!!
Boy am I embarrassed. But also grateful to Jeff for the new unit.

P.S. I probably will be getting the newer control unit is a month or so and I will pass along my comments.

P.P.S. I saw (did not hear) the new TW 10.5 arm. Boy, if it sounds like it looks (sleek, stylish, solid) then Thomas has a work of art and Jeff is going to sell quite a few....me thinks!!
