Thanks Jeff, Is that something I can replace myself?

General Tormek Questions / push starting my T-3
February 04, 2012, 01:10:22 PM
Hi to one and all,
I have recently taken to wood turning and have acquired many and varied tools and machines.
The T-3 is the only one that is perplexing me at the moment! It is not new but is in good condition, however, when I turn it on nowt happens.
I have to give it a push start to get the wheel rotating. No problems after that, none of the "30 minute" woes I've read about (it has taken me over an hour each to get some of chisels to the desired form 
). Nor have I had any probs with the drive wheel slipping which is curious given the starting problems.
I wonder whether it is the motor or (I think, not being an electrician) the condenser ?
Has anyone else had similar problems or got any ideas for a fix?
Cheers
