speed control on PC 8529 router

My PC 8529 router has 4 speeds. Up to level 3 everything is OK. When I go to speed level 4 the router starts up, comes up to speed, and then comes to a stop?

Anybody had this problem; is it an easy fix or a junk router?

Actually, it's a pretty easy fix. Call porter cable.
The little chip board that the variable speed knob is soldered to is
easily replaced.
They sent me a free one when I was having an issue.
