Rockola 440 Gripper and Magazine Motor Blowing Fuses

Thanks for the advice Rob. I called one of the ads in the classified section of Always Jukin', my wife's boss gave me a copy. (Thanks again, that was a great idea) Ironically, the the guy I called about purchasing two motors, suggested that I try a few things before spending the money for the motors. 1. Running the motors while disconnected from each of their respective gear mechanisms to see what would happen without a load. I tried it and it still blew the fuse. 2. Clean the motor out: So far I took the Gripper motor apart and it was filthy inside. I cleaned it out but need to do the same with the carousel motor. Once I do that I'll try it again and see what happens. I certainly appreciate your advice. But I would like to see if there is any way that I may be able to fix this first before having to purchase another set of motors. On one hand this is frustrating, but on the other, I am learning A LOT about the way these things work and it's really quite interesting Did you unplug both motors and see if the fuse blows without them? Did you try plugging in one motor at a time to see which one is blowing the fuse? It's possible but highly doubtful that both motors are bad... unless it was used as a parts machine and the good motors taken out and replaced with the bad ones. Besides, the two motors _never_ run at the same time so unless the cam switches are screwed up, only one motor is blowing the fuse at any given time. If both motors are trying to run at the same time you have some other issues. |
