I happened upon this how-to with a simple Google search, I just might have to try it as my pop-ups are weak (even weaker shutting 'em off).

That depends on what's wrong with the original system. If everything's shot, it'll be expensive to fix.
I've converted mine to electric and it cost me around $350 - not too bad for lights that now go up and down fast enough to draw blood if you have fingers in the way

The set from mcspeed.com Chris, 69myway is the place to get parts from....AFAIK he was the first and from what I see above, I think his system is simpler too....
