When I picked it up it powered on and the stepper in the right rear kept trying to cycle. Once I got it home it wouldn't do anything but light up. Here are the first of likely hundreds of questions:
My DMM doesn't have a tone to test fuses so I've been testing fuses with the diode mode reading 0. I have a couple of slow blow fuses that seem to have 2 wires after the black "diode" inside. If one of the wires is burnt is the fuse blown?
I'm just wondering if this gear is a missing tooth. It sure looks like it to the untrained eye but I just don't see how it would break. It is the same stepper that was firing continuously and I've got a fuse on the PF that is blown. I'll clean off the stepper and replace the fuse and hopefully be able to get a little farther down the chain. Reasonable?
I've read and reread the pinrepair.com EM page but since fuses are the first bit I want to get them worked out before going farther. Any of you have an advice that you wish you knew when you started working on your first EM?
