      Hi Guys, I am new here, but been lurking a few years!  I have a Chester Champion 20 mill that I have had around 3 years…  It just started blowing the main fuse and I suspect its the main board, but happy to be corrected!

       

      Do any of you guys know a company that repairs them?

        If yiu can find the Sieg equivalent (I suspect that the machine is made by Sieg), Arc Euro might carry replacement boards as spares.

        A while mago, there was a chap on here, (John Rudd, I think) who could repar the PCBs for mini lathes.

        It might be nworth trying to contact him, if you can’t get a replacement.

        Howard.

              here is the board.  A chap off here is currently going to take a look for me, but I suspect its the motor thats blown the board, so I need both!

                You can test the motor by putting a 9v battery across the leads and if it runs then put a multi-meter across it to measure the resistance which should be between 3 – 13 ohms. If so, then the motor may not be the cause of the blown board.

                The circuit board looks quite similar to the mini lathe/mill in our machines and others.

                In case the motor is the problem you could compare dimensions with the our AMA25 750W motor on our website. It’s likely to be the same.

                You’re welcome to give a call to discuss. Wifey has just arrived in Rhodes for a 2 week holiday so I have all the time in the world to assist if I possibly can!
