Was working, now trying to burn up!
#28

I think the misunderstanding was on his end ... but anyhow.

Yes, I am sure a lot of completely clueless people do show up and have no interest in actually learning proper repair and just expect a magic band aid to fix their machines.

Funny I should say it that way. There is what appears to be a piece of thick type of medical tape on top of that one old Zenith electrolytic cap to insulate it from the loose dial indicator panel which is loose due to rotten rubber mounts. But hey, at least someone tried to keep things from shorting out! I wonder if the rotten rubber allowing the mounting bolts to contact chassis frame could also be a problem with it. I will post pics of what I am referring to later on tonight or tomorrow.
