Hi all,
I've finally managed to get hold of a Ferguson videostar 3v32, but I've noticed that the drum is not running at the correct speed. You can hear it speeding up and slowing down. If I gently use my finger as a brake on the top of the drum then it slows down enough to get a picture but as soon as I take my finger off it starts to speed up again. I've swapped the main bottom board for a known working one but it's still the same.

Any advice on this would be gratefully appreciated.

Thanks
Richard.
