+Hi everyone,
+you might have noticed the guts of the 3-in-1 have been hanging out
+for a little while. Abby and I have been poking it, trying to figure
+out why the lathe motor has been making a nasty noise. We're concerned
+this motor will follow in the footsteps of the previous one, and burn
+out. We got to do a bit more trouble-shooting today, and we found that
+wiring the mill direction control to the lathe motor stops it from
+making the noise. We didn't have time to test the opposite
+configuration, i.e. lathe direction control on mill motor, however
+this would point towards the wiring or control panel, rather than the
+motor itself, being the problem.
+We still have a couple more test steps to get through before I call
+Chester again. I have been in contact with them regularly over the
+last week, so we are working with them on getting things fixed.
+If there are any electrical engineers who would like to help, please
+send me or Abby an email.
+Thanks for being patient everyone, I know there are a lot of people
+who want to use this machine, myself definitely included.
+Cheers,
+Luke
