Hey guys, long time no post!
I've managed to convince my wife that she really needed her own office. Now that I've finished spending the weekend moving her stuff I can set my faceting machine back up! :P

After a few years of disuse I cleaned off my Mark 5XL and fired it up only to hear a constant clicking sound as the motor spins. Akin to the sound of a playing card stuck in the spokes of a bike I'd say.

I've very limited knowledge of motors, but I'm guessing it needs a brush replaced? Is there a place I can source one?

Also my machine never did come with a dial for the pot-meter that turns the motor on/controls speed. Anyone know where I can find a replacement that would fit?

Thanks!
