[QUOTE="Sidewinder, post: 461412, member: 9512"] Rich, Like myself, I don't think that ProDave is an average install sparky. He certainly trained on equipment a bit more complex and challenging than most sparks who work on BS7671 works. A washing machine, even a new one, is no more complex than a high speed CNC VMC, I regularly repair those without drawings, mechanically and electrically, including ball screw and spindle rebuilds. I do get the actual ball screws done by a specialist, but I remove, replace and reset them at the machine, and I do repair high speed, 20k rpm spindles myself. I do draw the line at motor rewinds, but then I have an associate to do that. I will also tackle a strip down of a 1980's CNC controller and drive rack, and faul find to module level. Trust me, they are much more difficult to deal with than today's bus controlled modular drives. PD has worked with similar kit, so I don't think he'll struggle with a washing machine. [/QUOTE]
