Re: Pye Black Box
Great! I'm glad it was that simple.
I'm afraid as my BB is in storage at the mo., I can't help you with the motor query, but it sounds a bit suspicious to me. I presume the rotor's absolutely free, and that the speed of the turntable is approximately correct? Someone else with a UA6 must be able to help. If no luck on this thread after a day or so, I suppose you could start a separate one with a more explanatory title. If the worst happens, I'm sure I have some UA6 bits lying around somewhere which you'd be welcome to. N. |

Re: Pye Black Box
Hi Nick, Thanks for the reply and offer of parts.
I've had a look at the motor and it does look like it's overheated in the past. The bobbins are badly warped, but the windings seem to look OK. I plan to make a start on the cabinet now. Once finished (could take a while, it's a wreck) I'll put it all back together, start using it seriously and then see what happens to the motor! Regards David

Re: Pye Black Box
Warped bobbins seem normal though. Here's my motor as I was taking it apart:
