The offending part is a pcb mounted relay - yet more bad contacts - I've had a few :bugeye: This one was easy to fix - with gentle persuasion the plastic cover pops off, and I could scrape the contacts and spray them with contact cleaner: |

Next thing to check out is the motor and drive for the driven tools on the turret. I want to remove all the driven tools first, as some of the spare ones that came with the machine were seized solid. Obviously if any of the mounted one are in a similar state damage will be done. The jacking screws that clamp and unclamp the VDI tools on the way out have a collar that bears on a clirclip to give it something to extract against - several of the circlips are missing - standard 14mm internal ones so an order for a packet of them has gone off to BearingBoys this morning. Soon I'm going to have to work out how to take a video of it doing things - my only video recorder is my iPhone and trying to shoot things through the closed safety door results in only the door being in focus. Of course if the door is open the machine refuses to come out and play ! |
