Hi.
Thanks for that, will try. I am a model engineer, my electrical prowess is very limited. I have searched the internet and emailed companies without reply. I have phoned companies and got a who cares attitude. I only got one email reply and that was from China saying the part was no longer made which I had gathered. As you rightly say nobody seems to interpret the Colvern coding. I contacted Bridgeport who were waiting for stock and because I live in France they would not supply to me, they say I should contact the suppliers in France. I asked who they were and I was told they did not know. Now how bizarre is that.
My machine is not working properly so I cannot continue with what I am doing so I am in a desperate situation. It is just daft enough that a squirt of WD 40 may cure the problem. Now why didn't I think of that.
Thanks all, please excuse my humour.
