Howdy folks - so I think it's safe to assume my rely is on the fritz. After a week or two of stellar performance I go back to the rapid clicking again.... I then repeat the gentle filing of the relay contact and that helps for a while. Wondering should I more aggressively file the contacts? Thoughts always appreciated!

cheers... Andy

eBay delivered my new (very old stock) Motorola fuses this afternoon - popped one in, and hey presto we are back on i-Telex!

Thank you for the suggestions and ideas: the one that did the trick was the very easy relay contact clean-up as advised by Wayne.

Thanks and Happy New Year folks!

Hey thanks Wayne for the info and photos... I've cleaned the relay using a tiny file and reassembled. Right now I am out of fuses for now and waiting for some replacements to arrive. Will report back.

Merry Christmas!

Andy,

Attached is pic of 33 with "dog bone" motor and you can see it has no starting cap.

Perhaps I was looking at another 32/33 you own when I saw the cast motor and you have the stamped frame motor.

73,

Wayne
