    Lights out...

    Our shop has a VM-3 thats only a few years old. A few months ago we noticed the lights inside the machine started to flicker on and off completely at random. The problem became worse and worse and now the lights do not work at all. Anyone else have this problem or know where to look first?

    Thanks!

    Jason

    Two things for you to check.
    Firstly - check the light bulbs are good and tight in the holders.
    Secondly - check the GFI unit on the side of the electrical cabinet. It is an overload that also feeds power to the worklights.

    Hope this helps

    Maybe the bulb is loosened? Check the Plug connectors on the adaptorcable and on the i/o PCB.
    The most dangerous phrase in the language is:"we've always done it this way."
