[GreenKeys] ASR 33 motor buzzing

[Brad]

Thanks Wayne!  I will try a 3A slow blo fuse first, just in case.  I’ve been checking around for shorts but nothing so far.  

 

I will almost certainly take you up on your offer if that fails.. many thanks for your help thus far.  I guess there’s nothing left that it could be other than a fuse problem or motor being dead?

Brad,

 

The relay does look good and seems to be operating as it should.  Try a 3 amp slow blo fuse.  I really dont know the diff between MDL and MDC.  Just a slow blo with the spring inside the fuse.  If the 3 amp slow blo still does not hold, I guess you need a motor.  

 

You have already done good work by rotating the motor fan to make sure the mainshaft and the rest of the 33 works without a bind or the like.  

 

If you want the motor, I will test one and I will need a relay to test it, so I will send you both.  Just pay the shipping.  I will need your address of course.  

 

Best regards and 73 if you are a ham.

Also, I put a video of the relay operating in that same link – in case that tells anyone.  It kind of looks like it’s working to me but maybe more experienced eyes can tell.

Okay.. I opened up the relay to have a look inside:

To my eyes it looks pretty clean.. although there is some visible burn on the one side of the ‘switch’ or whatever it’s called.  I note too the bottom casing of the relay had a bit of oil in it.
