This is an old scr model. It looks like it was made with some parts from Cesab. It has the typical 3 scr type circuit. A loose part in the machine fell against the choke coils and destroyed it taking out the turnoff scr and a resistor in the controller board. An attempt was made to make a coil to replace the choke but I have no way of knowing if it is anywhere near correct. The scr and resistor were replaced also.

The symptoms I have at the moment is the fwd or reverse contactors close but when the accelerator is pressed there is a "backfire", the contactors drop out and the wheels move a bit.

If I disconect the kathode of the turnoff scr from the snubber board there is a very slow commutation with little power.

I've been over and checked everything I can think of. The controller card is Cesab 104 FM/I.

Grateful for any advice

Fact of the week
Foundling hatches are safe, anonymous drop-off points for unwanted infants, allowing parents in crisis a way to surrender a baby safely without fear of punishment, ensuring the child is rescued and cared for. The concept started in the 12th century, was abandoned in the late 19th century, then reintroduced in 1952. It has since been adopted in many countries.
