As a new owner, I found it a pain in the neck (literally) to keep track of the top as it goes up and down. I put together an inexpensive remote that does not require any soldering or expertise to install. The original switch remains in place and usable. You can take the key fob remote with you quite a distance away. Of course, the other safety provisions of operation are still intact.
I'm not interested in making a lot of money if I build some for club members. The price should range in the $125-$150 range. It would come with one or two remotes.
Email me direct if interested.
