Happy to report lathe up and running again with new board.

Thanks All.

That’s the part I have ordered, certainly looks identical in the image. Will report back if I have any issues.

Cheers!

John, many thanks for the valued advice. I'll purchase a new board.

Should I just replace the board, or is there any scope for repairing it?

Any advice is welcome.

Ok, measuring between pins 4 and 7:

About 13.0 settling down (about 5 seconds) to 00.5 Ohms in both directions. (DVM set to "200" Ohms setting)

Hi John,

Many thanks for the quick feedback.

I have checked (nothing else connected):

Pins 5 and 3 - is open circuit

Pins 6 and 7 - is open circuit

Pins 6 and 4 is also open circuit

Hello,

I’m new to this forum and hope someone can offer advice on an issue I have with my Clarke CL300 lathe. The circuit fuse always blows when mains power is switched on. I have check everything and replaced the speed control switch/potentiometer, but the issue is still present.

I have traced a problem with the old FC250 control board in that there seems to be a short between connection “AC4”(live) and connection “5” (this is when nothing else is connected to the board.

Is this something that I can fix (replace relay?) or do I need to order a new board from Arceurotrade?

Any advice welcome.

Regards

James
