As Mark said Maplins opposite the college on Manchester Road or Modern Radio on Derby Street more or less across from the "University".Tend to use modern rad myself, dearer but the staff actually know what they're selling rather than the usual craplins salesdroid.

That's the place I was originally thinking of, opposite corner to the McDonalds where the Chinese place used to be .....  :y  :y  :y. Not sure I pass when they're open though  :-/  ;)


It's already stuck to a piece of paper on  my passenger seat!  :y  :y

Turn up by the side of Subway and then right up the back street and there's a handy little carpark.
They should be able to sort you out.

Soldered the bridge rectifier in .... I did get it in the correct position. New 5A fuse.
And it ran  ;) ..... for about 2 revolutions before it went pop again!  :-/
It's going in the bin!  :-?

I would maybe fit a bigger bridge rectifier in maybe if its getting that hot!

Is the polisher variable speed? Just seems odd that the new bridge rectifiers died so quickly. Is the motor seized?

No it's just on or off,and it spins quite freely. It had been given a fair bit of use before it initially died though.
I'll look at one along the grinder type like yours .....  :y :y :y
