First I produce a set of pcb's without two essential capacitors.
Then I have dodgy existing one on one pinball
then I have a load missing on my HGOT restore
then I get around to looking at my hot tub motor not working problems:
find this:
the thing has completely blown its end cap and leaked nasty gunk everywhere.
Cleaned it all up and tested the motor - one of the windings is shorted - time for a new one.
tried to get the "wet end" impeller off - its rusted on solid. Then I realized it's knackered anyway. £400 for both new parts.
Cheaper than a new hot tub. The tub is in its 19th year of service, The whole wooden frame has rotted away, and needs replacing, but first I'll get the pump going again and make sure everything else still works.
