674 forum posts 357 photos	I fitted a Power Feed to my beloved SX3 from Axminster about 6 years ago its been on the blink for about a month now yesterday it finally gave up the ghost and stopped working I think the problem stems from the direction switch or the capacitor it will jog when I press the stop button so its getting power to the motor I removed the covers and checked for lose/broken wires but could find nothing obvious, that exhausted my electronic capabilities. I'm a complete novice when it comes to electricity I can just about wire up a plug:- so does any one know of a firm I could send it to to have it repaired it will set me back £400 to buy a replacement so a repair is well worth considering. Cheers Stew
