Sounds like the triac in the speed control circuitry has shorted.
Take the router to someone who knows electronics, and have it fixed.
Actually, one can also contact Triton: http://www.tritontools.com.
If it went back to the intended speed, then it's unlikely
the triac (or anything else) has shorted. More likely
there's a capacitor in the speed control circuit which
is failing. Or, possibly the connection to the speed
control dial has become intermittant(*).
In any event, the suggestion to have someone knowledgable
in electronics look at it isn't bad. Altho the most
likely thing a tech would say is "replace the control
board" which might cost almost as much as a new router.
If I lived in England the part is about 50 Euros IIRC, A new Triton is
about $300.
With shipping about a third the price of a new one. Won't they ship to
the US?
