Its it a romance, or just another period costume drama? there's a Reading Repair Cafe tomorrow (Sunday) afternoon. Bring it along, and we'll show you how to fix it. Actually I suspect that its the Writing Repair Café that the OP needs. -- To ban Christmas, simply give turkeys the vote. |

Please those using this portal give more info as on the real Usenet we do
not have any pictures or anything like that. I'd have thought the fault was pretty obvious to trace. If ok on switch then switch broken, if bypass switch and motor not running motor busted. :-) Brian -- ----- - This newsgroup posting comes to you directly from... The Sofa of Brian Gaff...

Consequently I think "on principle" HOH messages should be ignored or derided every time. My responses are not just aimed ot the OP, the information may be useful to others too. We were very busy this afternoon teaching people how to repair things. I did a large projector screen someone bought in from their home theatre which was blowing its mains fuse, and did half a PS4 repair (removing the broken HDMI connector - he will need to bring it back next time to fit a new one). Also did a number of sundry things. We did have a vacuum cleaner in - a dyson which the owner had sucked water in (needed a new motor), but I didn't see a Hetty, although I didn't see all the things that got fixed. -- Andrew Gabriel [email address is not usable -- followup in the newsgroup] |
