Many thanks for that Andy. The threat of this venerable old machine being sent for recycling has prompted me to take an interest in it at last. When I originally bought it life was hectic with young children around and of course guidance on possible repair just wasn't as easy to find as it is today. I'm aiming to try and find a way to get hold of it asap so that some proper investigations can be undertaken.

In the interim any further contributions would be much appreciated.
