You know i really really admire your dogedness in pursuing this BUT if ever there was another reason needed NOT to go down the CNC route then this thread is it ! 

GOOD LUCK !  and may the fruition of your toils be soon.   :coffee:

Ah - but is it the end result or the journey that I 'enjoy' - I'll leave you to draw your own conclusion!

Late yesterday brought an email with a large pdf file attached - yes at last the correct (hopefully) circuit has arrived. Printed out all 169 pages on my A4 laser printer, but I decided that now I have it as a pdf  I would print out the relay side of things at A3 (old eyes you see - or rather don't  :(  ).

So this morning back into the fray: The relay in the following pictures had been giving me particular problems, and was causing other relays to chatter due to poor contacts. I can buy them still but firstly they are about £50 each, and secondly the contacts bear different numbers which will lead to future confusion, so - it has to come out and be cleaned.

First - remove all the (unlabeled) wires, and label them, putting a 'boot lace ferule' on each
