selfwrighters dead againboth speedos are blown, blew the first board not sure why, put the spare in and that blew 3 tracks when under load but worked fine on the bench, so repaired that and it went again in the same way as the first.. not sure whats wrong with them.. think its a job for Mr gamble when he gets chance.
I think the fault is just as much mechanical as electrical, It sounded like a problem with the selfwrighter gearbox, took it apart and found the last stage in the worms can effectively pop out and jam up, i think its that which is causing the motor to stall which blows the controller.. Its an easy fix for the gearbox, a nylon spacer or a circlip on the shaft. still anoying thought because its going to be another event were its not working again..... its only a guess though, that might not of been the problem at all. Ill find out when i get the controllers back from Dave.
..on the up side the disc and the drive are working spot on![]()
