1986 deckel s11

really fun machine for keeping all our sharp things pointy

it has a dc motor for the main spindle that is controlled by yesterday's controller. sometimes it won't turn on :mad5:

interface is a lower voltage series of switches/buttons that control relays. I know the motor is "good"

Can't hear the relays moving when turning the spindle on off switch. The machine functions reliably in most cases.

anybody have ideas?
 
did you ever find out what was causing the problem ?
I am presently having similar issues. trying to find answers.

My issue turned out to be the potentiometer (speed control) .
replaced it ,Deckel is working again.
