Goblin Teasmade 860 Wiring - UK Vintage Radio Repair and Restoration Discussion Forum

barriestones · 29th Dec 2013, 1:54 pm

I have just cleaned up the contacts and refitted the control button assembly in my goblin 860. I now realise that I failed to note the connector to which one of the two yellow wires from the rocker switch assembly should be attached. One yellow wire connects to the clock. I don't know where the other one connects!
Is there anyone who can help please?

There's a hand drawn circuit of a typical teasmade in this thread:

which may help if you can relate it to your set.

It would be helpful if anyone on the forum has a working Goblin 860 that can take colour photographs of the wiring and post them up here. I had a non functioning clock and managed to pull off several connectors on the Key tab so I don't know how they should really be connected. (Stupid head on; didn't think to take photo or make a note of what wire went where). The clock's now working, the light switch on its own works, as dos the Tea now button, but the auto button won't work with the clocks alarm feature. And when I operate the unit without the Teapot and kettle in place the buzzer goes off all the time? Thank you in advance, getting annoyed with myself.
