One of my pals, died last year. He was a member on here.
davidcurtiss021.Poor chap, never properly, got to grips with retirement, or making swarf. Alternately, he was unwell. Or his lathe was.....
This was one of his final problems.....
https://madmodder.net/index.php/topic,12166.0.htmlThe lathe is mine now. It arrived, as a lego set, in several boxes. In serious need of rebuilding.
I started during the summer......

I finished the mechanical work, this weekend.......

And, back view of the loose board......

I plugged together, what seemed to fit together.
Not sure which way around the input lead fitted, as both outputs from the emg switch, were black/blue wires.
Switched on. Hoping for a click. Or, a little light...... Nothing!

HAH! No fuse, in the plug.

Fitted 3amp fuse. Switched on..... Nothing!
![:scratch:](https://madmodder.net/Smileys/default/icon_scratch.gif)
Metered the supply, into this gubbins. But, not out of it......

No fuse in there, either......
![:thumbup:](https://madmodder.net/Smileys/default/happy0034.gif)
Fitted another 3amp fuse. Switched on..... Nothing!
![:scratch:](https://madmodder.net/Smileys/default/icon_scratch.gif)
Checked the fuses. Both of them had blown. Quietly....

That is the limit of my electrical understanding. It's time now, to hand over to a higher authority.
Hope you guys can sort me out, as you have done several times in the past......
