Before I go any further with working on it can anyone confirm if the swell control is also a switch? It is has marking on the cover plate indicating OFF, BUT when I plugged this in the main lamp came on straight away and also the motor powered up too (no switch at all)!
I am planning to have an initial once over i.e. check all the electrolytics (as much as I can) whilst the circuit board is in place. The board looks like its a pain to remove.
I will also take some initial pics of the board - the soldering looks appalling BUT I dont know if this was how it was sent out after being manufactured?? I do have a suspicion that someone has 'dabbled' with it. An indication of this is the fact it has modern mains lead colouring AND it has been connected to earth (I am led to believe that these were never grounded when manufactured). As a hobbyist with little electronics knowledge this might be a very good project for me as a learning exercise!
Best Regards
