Joules.
All the years, I have seen your handle. I thought you were in France! Not just up the road! :palm:
Thanks for your kind offer.

As usual always glad to help.....
First up, have you got a dvm, know how to use it?
Can you follow a schematic drawing?
Is there an XMT number on the speed control board? ( I think it might be XMT 2335 or summat...)

Hi John.
This is becoming a habit, isn't it! :palm:
Dvm? Sounds like my little black box, with a needle in a window.
Tells me if a fuse is good, or blown.... Also, if a wire is live, or not. (A few other things, as well). :thumbup:
Schematic drawing? Probably.
This one will be no problem. Mebbe... http://littlemachineshop.com/reference/drawings/4507-XMT-C3Lathe.pdf
XMT-2335........
Are we off to a good start? :thumbup:
Joules:
I found this, but I guess it’s probably out of date being from 2006. It is however a starting point.
John Rudd:
David,
I'm assuming you have all the wiring in the right place...,,?
****With the lathe unplugged from the mains***
With new fuses fitted where needed, meter switched to Ohms range, can you measure between the Live and Neutral pins on the 13Amp plug, do this with the Red E-stop button not latched....
What reading do you get on the meter?
We are looking for a low value that is causing the 3A fuse to blow......
If the result is good, that is there is no short across the supply, I suggest disconnecting the motor and in its place a 100 watt light bulb, then try the machine plugged in..
Joules, good find on the schematic...the circuitry hasnt changed much over the years, they are basically the same as the KB boards from the USA..
Stilldrillin:
Hi Joules.
Thanks for the diagram. I'm afraid, it's lost on me, these days.
In the past, I have built a couple of rc, (valved) receivers. But, that was some 60+ years ago......
